(12,829 posts)They have audio of a town hall that Thomas Massie was doing, and the people that were asking him questions had so much blind faith in Trump. "Trump has a plan", "Trump has more information and he knows what to do", and so on. That was depressing to hear.

(3,192 posts)Massie was horrible too and this guy is just slightly worse. If Democrats win back the majority in the house then this race wont matter much.

(1,379 posts)When people ask why GOP politicians never stand up to Trump...THIS is why. I do feel like more want to, but the number one goal most of them have is to stay employed.

(300 posts)Sen Cassidy just voted to end the Iraq war and there is talk he will block Trump nominees. nm
What does he have to lose now? At least exact some revenge on Trump.

(20,859 posts)Theres always this romantic notion that the senator or rep with nothing to lose is suddenly going to blow the lid off the whole cabal. Its is a myth. Never happens. wont happen with those guys either.

(172,895 posts)it isn't just the war and the price of gas, it's the fact that then entire GOP sucks off Trump - it is sickening - I think increasingly a lot of voters are sick of GOP and ESPECIALLY sick of the CULT
