Is the GOP leadership as stupid as they seem?

In Washington state we have Susan Hutchison as our GOP chair. She couldn't grasp the simplest truth, just keeps repeating the party line "DFT is great".

As long as we have folks like her in Republican leadership, our country will remain a laughingstock for the world.

there was a study done on trump voters and the crowd size pics.

much of it has to do with what they WANT to believe.

even they know he's a joke, but it's always party before country with them. They're probably afraid of backlash from the dimwitted and bigoted base, so they keep on slinging the red meat--pretending that we're all in good hands under him to keep their voters dumb. These GOP "leaders" always fall in line rather than hold their own people accountable whenever they do something stupid or illegal.

notice neither the House or Senate is working very hard on his agenda. It's all him and EO so far. If they plan on hanging him by his * then they're going about it the right way. They're all career politicians and he's a novice. So far they seem to be handling him just fine.
