Republicans worry that Trump and his aides have no idea the hell that may await

WASHINGTON – Republicans who support President Donald Trump have grown fearful that the White House is unprepared for the onslaught that may await them in January.

If a "blue wave" succeeds in giving the Democrats control at least of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections in November, Democrats will have the power to subpoena documents and force administration officials to testify about a slew of scandals, including aides using private email for government business, agencies spending taxpayer money at Trump resorts and sexual assault allegations involving his recent Supreme Court appointment, Brett Kavanaugh.

Five Republicans with close ties to the White House said that instead of preparing for what could be a years-long attack by a newly emboldened Democratic-run Congress, Trump aides are wasting time trying to respond to non-stop controversies, Trump tweets and the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Most spoke on condition of anonymity to speak freely.

"You have take it seriously. It's going to be all-out warfare," said Scott Jennings, who was subpoenaed by the Senate when he worked for Republican George W. Bush and the Democrats took control of Congress. "It grinds the administration to a halt."

1. Total bullshit. Unlike the GOP, the Democrats are trying to save and unite the country

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. It's really sad

that they worry about Democrats having to be the ones to look into all of the scandals and misconduct that they've been actively ignoring. for almost two years.

4. and if Republicans take control back with the next Democratic president

they'll do things like investigate the presidential pet (like they did with Socks the Cat under Clinton) or investigate Benghazi 10 times like they did with Obama.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

5. Yup

Their hypocrisy knows no boundaries

[NewJeffCT]

3. If they pull off a miracle and retake the Senate

then, we'll really see them turn up the heat on investigations.

6. Didn't the repiggies defy subpoenas

the last time the Democrats held the House? When Dubya was President?

What will happen if they do that again? I am not looking for this to be easy, win or lose.

[Me.]

7. I Thought They Had A War Room Set Up

[empedocles]

8. Some 'cons are aware of the 'hell that may await',

but I wouldn't underestimate the 'lockstep', often hate driven, mentality that propels them to support trump no matter what - or almost anyway.

[gratuitous]

9. Yeah, it really cramps a criminal's style

When they have to answer for their crimes. Really cuts into your schedule what with the interrogations and the subpoenas and the trials and the jail sentences. I suppose the Republicans could actually try practicing good government, but what are the odds of that happening, especially when they never seem to go to jail?
