How do you force Republicans to take ownership of Donald Trump presidency?

After all, he would not be President today if they had not voted for him, whether or not Russia interfered in the election.

Mitch McConnell and the leaders in the GOP pretend he is some sort of alien that came into power against their wishes. They want their beautiful chocolate cake and eat it too.

They want to be able to say they disagree with him on political tough decisions but they want to share in the glory when they think he does something politically popular. They suffer no consequences for their support of the insufferable idiot.

How can Democrats tie them to Donald Trump so tightly that not even Harry Houdini could escape the grasp?

Everything the repub's have wanted they got. Every bill they sent his way was signed immediately. Some with fanfare some in the back room. But they see eye to eye. Even though he is the prez. the leadership has happily done everything he asked. They have covered for him. They haven't questioned his sanity, but reviled in it. They are trump.

by refusing to stand up to him--especially those who call themselves Christians while they scheme to strip the people of their basic rights. Paint them as the despicable, greedy, spineless cowards they are because conservatives HATE being labeled cowards.

as your Republican President.

Place the ownership and label where it belongs....on the Republicans and their voters.

Says many the things Republicans should be saying about the psycho, but when it comes to actual voting, he always backs the Party line.
