MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann argues that members of the Republican party have shown through their capitulation to Trump that they care more about losing votes than anything else, and it has rendered their party to ‘a pile of ashes on the ground, or something worse’. Aired on 2/3/2021.

Heilemann: Everyone In The Republican Party ‘Lives In Fear Of What It’s Become’ | Deadline | MSNBC
Moral bankruptcy, you know trump is involved.
Yes, the GOP was already on the way out; Trump & Co. has hastened it.
@Silent Wisdom I love the quote, but I think you might have misread Mtn. He’s not saying it’s a good thing.
You guys forget 2016 when the Dems lost the presidency and both houses of Congress?
@Carol Smith just to be clear, Dems had lost the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014.
@JimThanx.
Republicans are the only true Americans left
Trump grabbed GOPsters by the purses.
@Bewnie Sandals As do ALL of you believe Trump and those mentally distorted villains who stormed the Capital, showcasing their anarchistic defiance to the Rule of Law and committing DOMESTIC Terrorism on US soil. Congratulations. Be careful that YOU may have NO sandal for the foot; you will be SWALLOWING it… like a hungry dragon. Have you asked Tara Reade why her Lawyers’ dropped her case like they would have dropped a biting SNAKE?
GOP SENATE AND GOP CONGRESS IS BROKEN, ON LIFE SUPPORT. THEY WILL NEVER STAND UP (THEY WILL PROUDLY STAND BACK) ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT PUTS AMERICA FIRST, THE UNITED STATES MILITARY FIRST, UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY FIRST, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION FIRST, UNITED STATES RULE OF LAW FIRST…GOP PARTY IS THE PARTY OF OF SILENCE- AGAINST ALL THAT THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN IS BASED UPON.
@Bewnie Sandals Been in your cave long or perhaps a coma for four years.
@Antonio saxon What makes you think that? You are just upset Republicans won’t go with the fake impeachment! What did Trump say to be responsible for a few rioters? My point is proven!
@Dezzilio Devellini What did Trump say to be responsible for a few rioters? Can you answer the question? ANTIFA AND BLM BURN LOOT MURDER killed at least 30 people with clear support from many Democrats!
The GOP is showing that they don’t have a moral compass.
The ENTIRE GOP is soiled like a golden shower mattress in a Moscow hotel. The only solution is to throw it out and get a new one.
There is no future for the Republican Party.
Get a fresh start on Conservatism with a completely new party.
@Sean Patrick It may even be called
The Lincoln Party ..
@Soren Ingram
Sure, that name would be lockstep with their revisionist history and misleading their voters with obvious lies.
where ya been for the past 25 years?
@Growth is Freedom United Earth Enterprise
I would argue for 40 years.
Green is just a Karen on steroids
@Peter L it’s the new derogatory term for racist white women due to a woman named a Karen having being caught on camera while falsely calling the cops on a black man last year.
@Peter L ask you-tube. “What is a ‘Karen’?”
She’s “Qaren”
More like a Karen on acid.

Actions have consequences … The GOP is learning what tRump brought out
“Every thing Trump touches dies.”
It was always there … they were just waiting under their rocks … until the Racist one came !!!
No real consequences yet.
@Beyond Stylz – Yep. Brought out, refined, perfected and put the evil that was already in the Republican party on a fast track.
Trump only brought out the poison that was there already in people’s hearts.
They let Trump lead them down the rabbit hole. and they don’t know how to get out again.
They are weak, we will remember there names.
🤣👍
It’s easy. Help the people first and you will earn it back. If you don’t help the people and you expect them to vote for you again that will never happen.

Trump destroys everything he touches, why should the Republican party be any different? Its beautiful.
@Mike Brown This is exactly what Russia wanted.
@Mike Brown – Wow, Mike. I never thought of it like that. And sad, but true comment.
@RS W – Word up, RS W.
@Mike Brown You guys voted for a failed celeb unfortunately. China and Russia love it and the rest of the world is embarrassed. My Dad used to say “If you want to know about a country, look at their leader”. So sad but it’s hopefully over now.

Trump is an expert in bankruptcy.
He finally found his nitch… away to steal money and make it legal … fraudulently stealing from his base …
I consider going bankrupt as a failure. Trump apparently sees some…what..business expertise maybe???

jjmarx1001, both financially and morally.
No amount of words can change their mind because they are all the same…..no morale, dignity n loyalty n respect to the people n their country. They only served one person. What’s happening to america…how can the country be great, when the man they believe is not a believer of truth?
I am bit nervous but I am enjoying debacle GOP has created for themselves
I say Cheney should take over McCarthy job and that man needs to go because he doesn’t seem to have a backbone to do his job let him go to marlargo and play golf with his buddy Trump for the rest of his life and do us all a favor…. The world would be a lot better off.
“Lizzy Borden’s” own state doesn’t want her in office. What a “stab” in the back!!!!!!
I totally agree,Kathleen!
I completely agree Kathleen!
@Jolene Plourde
Liz Cheney would have supported sedition if the name on the ballot had been Bush.
Oh, wait. She already did in 2000.
And Roger Stone was leading the riots.

This is getting to be amazingly stupid!! There’s right and there’s wrong and then there’s just sh#thouse nuts as we would say. Take their money away they will get the message.
John has summed up the Trumplican Party perfectly.
He sure did.
This is a portrait in codependent abuse- the GOP is so out of balance with their own identity as humans first
The GOP has gone full on Brokeback Mountain for Trump. “I wish I knew how to quit you.”
GOP SENATE AND GOP CONGRESS IS BROKEN, ON LIFE SUPPORT. THEY WILL NEVER STAND UP (THEY WILL PROUDLY STAND BACK) ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT PUTS AMERICA FIRST, THE UNITED STATES MILITARY FIRST, UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY FIRST, THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION FIRST, UNITED STATES RULE OF LAW FIRST…GOP PARTY IS THE PARTY OF OF SILENCE- AGAINST ALL THAT THE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN IS BASED UPON.
Trump has probably, like every mobster does it, collected dirt on most gop people, dirt he can use against them if necessary.
Oh, it’s necessary. I hope they are all exposed for the Greed Capitalists and Scam Artists that they truly are. Money Owns. We allowed it to.
I agree! That is how he works!

Have congress force trump to defend himself at the trial.
It isn’t “fear” that makes GOP support Trump, it’s greed and power-seeking. Let’s not apply a word meant for a genuine emotional response to corruption and spinelessness.
Yes. Agree. Well put.
Trump defense strategy is like his presidency, unprecedented.
Trump’s greatest gift to democrats. The presidency, the house and senate.
@PJH199 1 so you called someone a loser while supporting a loser? lol your stupidity blinded you so much.

@you are fired! you can get off my nuts, loser. Who’s paying you to open up shill accounts?
@C H you mean Trump had built the greatest economy the world has ever seen until the China Virus ( I.e. the Kung Flu)? Democrats maybe nuts but they aren’t stupid. Everybody knows China Joe is a illegitimate President. Democrats fear Trump running in 2024 so they are trying to impeach. Pathetic.
The GOP created this monster and now it’s destroying them. Fitting.
When observing a train wreck, stand back at a safe distance and pretend you are horrified, but keep watching.

@Salmo Trutti Seriously stupid
@Salmo Trutti Ridiculous strawmen. If you want to have a productive political talk, you could start with understanding the other side.
@Salmo Trutti If you’re an absolutist and you insist you can say and do whatever you want without consequences, you might be a Republican.
