(73,506 posts)I discussed the republicans with my old friend. He said that an example of how low they are going is this Kayleigh McEnany, the press secretary. In 2016, she was anti-Trump during the republican primaries, often noting that he was a threat to their party. Today, he said, she is worse than Kellyanne Conway, who at least complains about Trump when she is in private. But McEnany has gone beyond being an enabler, to being a cult member.
He said the only one from the House or Senate that might be willing to take a stand is Willard "Mitt" Romney, but we know that he will fold under pressure. The rest of them fear Trump, including those who like and dislike him. Their primary concern remains their own re-elections, and they will betray their oath of office and their country willingly.
