The future of the Republican Party is left hanging in the balance after the Trump presidency. David Frum, author of “Trumpocalypse,” says Republicans have to stop thinking they can control Trump and instead get rid of him. “Trying to get Trump to behave is like teaching Charles Manson to do the fox trot. Maybe he can do a step or two, and then he’ll put a fork in your eye because he’s Charles Manson. Trump is going to do what Trump is going to do.” Aired on 01/28/2021.

Trump Is Coming For The Republican Party | The Last Word | MSNBC
Let Trump destroy the Republicans. They deserve it for enabling him for so long.
@The Truth
You should see how Putin controls some of the content shown on RT. Very subtle propaganda in some cases but it works.
@Emilio Maspero YOU CALL THIS A DEMOCRACY?
They deserve it for 8 years of racist attacks on Obama too
Both parties can go. End of story
@Christine King The more people hate Trump the more his followers love him. It’s hopeless actually until the left stops with the 24/7 character assassination. Trump isn’t owned by anyone. That upsets most politicians which are totally owned.
brilliantly said, ty mr frum and mr o’donnell.
Sheep
Trouble processing? They were running for their lives. What can’t they process?
@Common Dreams As I pointed out at begining … that was false …they are resigning in record numbers and will no longer play your game red/blue …simply put …finish prepping
@Common Dreams is there something eles you wish to add ?…I will …no one cares
about your law(paper ) anymore …finish prepping
@Daniel Morse the video is actually about how the GOP is eating itself alive, not about whatever nonsense you’re spewing.

In any other western democracy anyone who did what has been done here would be arrested without delay, including a president, head of government, elected representatives, etc. because no one is above the law. There is something seriously wrong in a country where the legal and justice system is so convoluted and loose that people in positions of power can incite and commit acts of sedition and insurrection, break their binding oath to uphold the Constitution, and be left to continue their nefarious activities. It’s a recipe for disaster and it looks like the cooks ain’t leaving the kitchen until they’ve burnt the dinner.
@Milan Svatek That’s 100% true. The MAGA base is made up of indoctrinated parakeets.
@꧁F҉S҉M҉꧂ Texas turning blue certainly can happen. 🙂 I’m from SC, still, whenever I think of Texas and blue, I remember, with awe and gratitude, when I was a kid and Ann Richards was Gov. of Texas.
Loose justice ….
The silliest part is people dumb enough to follow and support Trump. I used to think anyone supporting trump is just a troll, now I’ve realized that they are just extremely dumb.
So sick of hearing anymore lame excuses from Republicans. The whole world saw everything . The Trump Ship has sunk .
Kevin McCarthy is disgraceful.
THE TRUMP NAME NEEDS TO BE OBLITERATED FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY………
@Esther Okello The present Republicans have their heads buried too far inside Trump’s butt to do tat.
Imagine being that afraid of an equivalent to a toddler.
Imagine it being a giant ape with the _mind_ of a toddler.
Clearly not a toddler. Likening to Manson is the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard. And they should be afraid. Trump isn’t afraid of exposing the deep level of corruption, so …yea.
@Aaron James Can I buy China pie at say my local bakery??
@usha kiran The few billion is wholly questionable FYI. And this toddler may just be indicted in the next year.
Trump is a great man and a great president.
Awesome – let them finish themselves off. Saves anyone else doing it. They deserve what they get
Who does
History shows what Mccarthy era stands for.
@Lulu Lopo talking about morons, look in a mirror
@mike briganti you moron! Why do you spew disinformation, troll!!!
History shows the the Democrats are still the klan.
Trumpism is 100 percent about Trump and Trump only! He’s shredding the GOP to pieces as more and more will leave it and others will bow down to Trump to later be stabbed in the back and tossed under the bus for good measure!
@Lulu Lopo Still crying about your landslide loss, I see. Good.
“Fork in the eye!” perfect analogy.
LOL. I thought so too. Kevin wear your protective eyewear! All Reps for that matter….
a snake that won’t bite too hard..
Backstabbing 101
Holy crap how long will this BS continue? Stand up to the bullies, call out their odorous lies and get rid of the stench.
@angela bluebird60 Thank you. I’ve been looking for a phone number.
@eric hansen Agreed
@angela bluebird60 Lol. Poor sweetie. Is having a conversation too hard for you? I truly find it hilarious how whiny you are and then feel the need to go full Karen. Here’s a hint: phonies whine to their politicians, real citizens go out and make a difference. But if you want to keep being a whiney Karen, it’s a free country. Best of luck with that! (;
@karen atha Thank you for speaking up!
Brain washed fools like you never cease to amaze.
Let’s hope the Lincoln Project will “come” for him first.
Along with Greene. Can’t believe she’s able to behave like this.
@Just Joan Tulsi ENDS Adam Schiff’s CAREER! Calling Him Out DIRECTLY To Millions Of Viewers! She’s BASED!

@Clara Horton Those are GWB Republicans, which were a disgusting stain on American history.
@Clara Horton Mike is a troll…ignore the knucklehead.
Yes. Their considerable talents will settle on and expose him for what he is.
He and green are into one another. He needed a new tailor after she licked his boots , etc.
My thought is who’s paying for Kevin McCarthy to visit the expresident,it feels like the majority of hardworking Americans are getting dragged into this maelstrom that is this divisive Republican Party while normal is coming from the White House..
They discussed strategy to take back the House and Senate. They are malignant!!
Its RINO season. They should’ve had a bigger spine when it counted.
@Chudley Flusher RINO:
Republican
In
Name
Only
@Michael Pieseeno
What about them?
@Chudley Flusher 🤦 if you dont understand any of this, theres no point in explaining it to you.
@Chudley Flusher
RINO stands for “Republican in Name Only,” used by Republicans to accuse other Republicans of being insufficiently conservative.
“In the politics of the United States, Republican In Name Only is a pejorative term applied to officials elected as members of the Republican Party, but who are alleged to govern and legislate like members of the opposing party. Similar terms have been used since the early 1900s. The term is an acronym invented in order so that it is abbreviated to RINO and pronounced to sound like “rhino”.[1] The term became popular in the 1990s.”

@gsmith1308
I know. What’s your point? Who’s a rino? How so? So what?
Equivalent to “well u were thinking it!” “Yeah but you said it!!” Except this is “well u said it!” “Yeah but u did it!!” Congratulations republicans
David Frum is a brilliant writer, his words speak volumes.
He learned from the best. His mother.
They’re not teaching America history in some schools.
A bunch of slave runners who didn’t wanna pay the British for fighting their battle against the French. Constitution was such a mess they went to war with themselves over it, it was so ingenuine they preached liberty of all men meanwhile they kept slaves. Everything about that country is ingenuine, and a lie. And like all empires it’s about to fall, and hard.
These shenanigans need to be held accountable for what there have done
You don’t negotiate with a tiger when your head is in his mouth.
EXACTLY, key word being: “EXCISE” as in what you do with a cancerous tumor that you don’t want to allow to spread. 😉
