Republicans can plead temporary insanity.

[kentuck]

There is no other excuse for this lapse from reality.

They wait patiently for the Turtle to declare his political strategy and they immediately fall in line. He knows there is only one Senator that is not threatened politically by Donald Trump. That would be Mitt Romney. Also, he knows there is one Senator that cannot win without Democratic votes. That would be Susan Collins. The rest have been bought off, including Lisa Murkowski. Do not expect any more than two votes.

When they wake up and look around, who will they blame? Did they really support such unthinkable and criminal actions? Did they really believe it was OK for foreign entanglements in our elections? Did they truly believe that Donald Trump was innocent?

We can only hope the temporary insanity is not permanent?

1. They know damn well what they are doing

No excuses.

Trump gives them all the polices they want and he's believed of their troglodyte "base" so why in the world would they remove him? It's the beginning and the end of the story.

2. Win the battle, lose the war.

I can see the TV ads for 2020 elections now. Been nice knowing ya Senators.
