Retirements Among Establishment House Republicans Surging | Deadline | MSNBC
If your going to leave anyway how about voting to impeach before you leave.
@Shawn S so you believe the guy ACCUSED of the crime…that he didn’t do anything….even though that’s NOT what the report said or Mueller concluded. I’ll bet you are dating someone you met through prison pen pals too! All crooks are innocent! 🤣
@We are all connected
Maybe hit the “see more” on my post instead of having a knee-jerk reaction to it.
@The MC Airplane
He was impeached in his second term.
I’m guessing you weren’t alive then
Good riddance… Now if only McConnell and Graham would do the same…
@texas thunder https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/aug/02/trump-elijah-cummings-baltimore-home-burglarized-response
YESSS !!! PLEEEAAASSE – but as always the good ones are leaving, the sh****T stays.
Hurd is one of the last *normal and decent* Republicans left.
@Common Sense A Super Power Unfortunately “was” and I think he should have helped before he took off. Interesting that great men always seems to go and the garbage lives on
Trump drains the swamp while simultaneously filling it with vermin.
@ron bishop Keep it in your pants Ron.
He did drain the swamp though.
And replaced it with a toxic waste cesspool
Vermin are still animals trying to survive. Trump drained the American swamp and filled it with feces. He turned US into a shithole!
@You You
Silly that is your vagina you are describing.
————————————————–
Well done proving that many Trumpers are sad Incels.
Republicans are weak and have no back bone.
@The MC Airplane Some people are to stupid to realize their own stupidity. Being ignorant and proud of it, is not the same as having a backbone. These people leaving dont have a backbone, because they leave and dont stand up straight to speak up against Trump. Atleast they are smart enough to leave, so i guess that means they must have a brain.
@Anders Emil Osmundsen everyone has a brain, or else you cant live.
@Anders Emil Osmundsen ok, so somebody like me with a university degree in aeronautical engineering is stupid. Ok
GOP is disgustingly corrupt…
It starts with Moscow Mitch.
jonny starsmore wow how misinformed can someone be! Fbi and Obama knew , it’s a nsa problem not senate.🙄
Listen to Truman’s convention in 48′. He even said it.
@Tonia Bowie so russians are not allowed to open buissnesses in the USA? Racist. Mitch does not approve of the election bills from the house because they are not about security but federalizing the system. Also, I dont believe putin is a freind.
They aren’t standing up, they are running away and leaving him unchallenged. Cowards!
Typical Trump supporters.
Trump 2020!
@Eugene Ax Let them eat their own. Didn’t work out in New England at the federal level. lmao
I don’t blame them for leaving! Look what the Republican party has become? They are losing appeal except for the white nationalists.
It’s officially the Retrumplican party.
No, its actually officially The Grand Old Party
The MC Airplane // Too old. Time to retire all of them.
Those official orange balls will be sitting on your chin a long time.
Trump 2020!
@You You
You say, with Trump’s tiny toadstool lodged in your throat
THANK YOU David Jolly for that! I can’t stand the hypocrisy of Nikki Haley and others like her. Like Jolly said, SHE enabled and supported Trump. She wanted to have it both ways. When people needed her to step up and push back against the lunatic in chief, she extended her hand to him. I am not fooled Nikki.
Yup. You backed the wrong horse, Nikki.
You missed your chance.
You failed.
Same with lyin’ Ryan, former Speaker of the House. Enabled Trump, didn’t speak out against him until after he retired!
The rats are jumping off of the ship.
William Byrd, III Now if only the biggest rat would jump ship. That’s fine, we’ll just push him off.
@Anne Rodgers nah bbq him and feed him to the crew, their starving lol!
Ditch Mitch. And Leningrad Lindsay. And all Republicans. Vote Democrat
@Gary Campbell
Only people playing fear tactics are the Republicans.
When’s the last time you were at the scene during a shooting or robbery? How about the people you know?
You fall for the NRA’s ridiculous sales tactics that Democrats (who also own guns) want to take your guns. And every time you fall for it, gun sales go up.
For a group that hails capitalism as the end all, be all, you sure don’t seem to know how it works
Shawn S : My biggest problem with democrats and guns ? All of them wanting universal backgrounds checks and disguising it as “common sense” gun control. You do know you can’t do that WITHOUT registration ? right ? But they conviently fail to say that.
@Gary Campbell
Not anyone else’s problem that you’re either a conspiracy theorist, or want to do things with the gun that you don’t want traced back to you.
Obviously you don’t need any more fear mongering because you’ve already been brainwashed by it
We should have no background checks, no registration. Exactly right.
No reason a guy on antipsychotics, who just got out of prison for attempted murder shouldn’t have a gun, right?
What about China Chao??
To be a republican means being a coward so of course they’re running.
dan crouse
Give it up Inbred.
Your talking points make you sound more stupid than what you already are.
@dan crouse : You are a criminal impersonator and will be held accountable.
Wish i could see your face when you find out those orange balls will be on your chin till 2024.
Trump 2020!
@dan crouse funny all the mass shooters since trump are sympathizers of your bone spur idol.
dan crouse: How did Fred come to parade himself in KKK gear? His little boy must have been so confused……
The Republican party of old is gone.
Gone with the wind.
@StephBer1 So you’re saying Trump played exactly the cards that would destroy the GOP?
Yea and the New Democrats are traitors! Get rid of capitalism and watch what happens. I got my money, I’ll just slip away, thank you president trump for the great returns!
@Megadog NO ONE wants to get rid of Capitalism, you misinformed, gullible fool.
Stop swallowing Putin Propaganda and regurgitating it.
Putin WANTS to DIVIDE the United States and as you spout his propaganda and lies, you become a Putin Puppet.
What do YOU want from your leader? Why do YOU trust him when he lies to your face? Please do tell me, as I am genuinely curious as to what makes you swallow such obvious lies?
I mean, even BASIC research proves your post is wrong and false.
Remember, when the going gets tough, Republicans fold like a wet towel.
Really RACE BAITING AL Sharpen guilty of murder! Baltimore under Democrat rule for a 100 years!! ABC News “Baltimore Is the U.S. Heroin Capital. 1 in 10 of the city’s residents are addicted” 72,000 Americans are murdered by chemicals that cross the Democrat OPEN BORDERS!! Why did MSNBC CNN NBC hide the fact that Elijah Cummings was robbed hours before President Trump slammed Cummings on Twitter!
Are you sucking that dirty buttplug again….eewww democrats are so gross!
They just quit their dream job instead of standing up to this man???? The lawmakers can’t save us, the military can’t save us. Our vote is the only power that will take Trump down!!! Don’t sit out this election! #VOTE2020
@Kate O I tell you what Butch you are going to wipe the smegma off your lips from that orange “D” in your mouth another 4 years.
@Terra Claiborne
Then you are a Trump supporter. Simple as that.
The Republican party has no future. Thank you, Donald.
Tony C. The current Republican Party has no future. 16 years, maybe they will have reformed. Four election cycles.
Tell us that when your neck is sore from those orange balls on your chin.
Trump 2020
we all saw it in 2016 primaries. No new ideas. No wonder why Bush was like I might be the last one. More like the 2nd to last.
@Nicholas A. if you are wrighting comments at 3am Nick you are either a complete loser or a Russian Troll.
The Republican ship is sinking and the rats are look to jump ship………R.I.P. Republicans hahahaha
I saw it live during 2016 primaries. No new ideas. And this is what happens.
They’d rather retire than stand up to Trump. Cowards.
You ask why is he retiring? Check his questions to Mueller…
That’s what I was thinking. This man was more concerned with the facts than party narratives… The only Republican I saw ask serious questions and not start ranting about a fantastical parallel universe for Fox soundbites to mislead people about what really happened in those hearings. …No future for him in that party.
As a black man (a very proud one at that) I have one question to ask, is this the level that the Presidency of the United States of America has sunken to? A President of the USA, using sarcasm and laughing at the misfortune of a man, a decent Congress-man at that, whose shoes he can’t walk in? God help America.
@rherho1 yup. They are acting like the old old democrats. With the means to “one of them” Thank God the Dixiecrats walked out in 48′. And I would say since 68′. They have been like this. Abit even though they might have been dog whistles, but now it’s out there and have it by the horns.
Since your black your opinion matters more than mine? Lol ok. As a latino I support trump.
@The MC Airplane You are forgiven! Your ignorance is just a result of bad education and a rotten society. You are growing up in a difficult time to sort through the propaganda and you might get it when you get older if you start to think for yourself now. I have seen black men join a neo- nazi group just to have a fellowship and friends in a group. Plenty of young men join some extremist organisation just to have some feeling of belonging to that group and not feeling alone. Others are just easily manipulated and in search of meaning. Some also just badly want beeing “special” to get attention because they didnt get enough attention from their parants, especially their dad. Makes easy targets for manipulators like trump who had a lifetime of experience lying and conning people for his own benefit. He is pretty good at it because he has a lot of experience having dad issues himself and not feeling recognized. He even cheats at golf to “WIN” just for the bragging rights, he put up tournaments with NO competition just to get that first prize trophee to show off.
You see all of theese issues with youth in both religous and political “cults” it has nothing to do with race and the fact that you think you beeing a latino for trump proves anything just shows how little thought out your support is. Maby you just want attention in the comments. So here you have it. I still forgive you and hope you have lots of love from your parents!
@Anders Emil Osmundsen so an education in aeronautical engeneering and growing up in the city of chicago exposed me to extremist propaganda? Ok kid, sure thing.
The Republican Clown Car is doing way more damage to America than any other terrorist group.
