Trump's Attempts To Overturn Election Results Caused Politician To Leave GOP | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Everything around Trump DIED- marriage, friends, and Republican Party!
@Justice Justice
Biden and his Son is still wicked and Pure Evil and so are you ..I use to be democratic raised democratic..No more…Because of people like you and Biden… It seems Satan has put that party under a Curse..it’s Darkness.. Democrats seem like they are hypnotized in a strange trance demons has taken over that party..I’m willing to bet Money that you Hate God
Trump talks about God that’s why you hate him💰💵🏧😜
@Sabrina Carter You probably never read the WHOLE BIBLE, just like Trump?
And 500,000 Americans. 😔
@Justice Justice
ARE YOU GONNA REPENT ????
@Justice Justice You hate me Trump and God .The hate is strong I feel it from here ( your hate🤬)
Trump WANTED his followers to SELL their souls, morals, and ethics.
And they obliged
@daniel harris my feelings exactly
@Sam Harris
No, way better chance from alcoholism.
@Gavin Tan It should have been mandated for Willys mom/sister😳
@daniel harris – And after watching MAGAs *beating Capitol cops* with ballbats, fire extinguishers *and* an American flag-still-attached flagpole, I *don’t* want to hear their ‘Blue Lives Matter’ spiels anymore. 😒
They will crash and burn, and if you didn’t see this coming you’re blind. This is the end of the GOP
I hope you’re right. The GOP needs to go extinct. Maybe rational conservatives can build a new party. A one party system is not good either.
Not so much the end of the GOP, there was already an autopsy published on that, this is the rise of the Mercan Fascist Party, the Evangelical Talibanis. The RoT voters (republic of trump) wil always be a force to be reckoned with because they are 13.8% of the electorate – the good news is that they are scattered all over the place and can’t control battleground states like another 13.8% demographic (African Americans as percentageof total population).
Pew states:
“The number of Black Americans eligible to vote for president has reached a record 30 million in 2020, with more than one-third living in nine of the nation’s most competitive states – Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin – a higher share than the 29% of all U.S. eligible voters who live in these states. Nationwide, Black eligible voters now make up 12.5% of the U.S. electorate, up from 11.5% in 2000.”
@Harry Johnstone Your a rare person on social commentary sites…..well informed and thoughtful. Kudos.
@DeadReckoning thanks bruh
Trump’s actions directly lead to a democratic president, democratic house, and democratic senate. He really did make America great again!
@Barbara Wanlass Both parties have done wrong all along. He was just too bold with his. Because he isn’t a “real politician”, he didn’t know how to play the game discreetly and keep his mouth shut whenever he lost a round.
@KD That has to scare trump knowing he’s more of a loser than he wants us to see. We know it , now the courts will show it.
@Barbara Wanlass Nope, not so bad at all. Neither are the Independents, like me.
If, by ‘bold’, you meant *’gleefully punching down* at those he disagreed with, and *doing so from the highest office* in our nation’, Ms. White…then sure, we’ll stipulate to that. 🤔
*No one was safe* from #45✳’s *grammar-mangled, randomly-capitalized rage-tweets* – not our allies, or grieving widows, “Gold Star” families, almost *every race and religion* on Earth, and *most especially* ‘women’… *all* of the above listed were ‘fair game’ from the self-appointed ‘Dear Leader’. 🤨
#45WasTheWorstPresidentEver
Coen por cuento de acuerdo
The answer is MONEY! Trump and Lindsay know if they stay in the spot light, Crazy Right Wingers gonna keep sending money!
Epstein tapes, Epstein tapes is the Answer.
Yep
@Kay yup. “Man, child, Epstein, camera, nominate trump”.
That’s probably true. Follow the money.
Work to publicly shame all republican doners, pressure & boycott them all to choke off their $$$, work to see they wear their party over country seditous stain forever, & start work now to see they are NEVER elected to ANY public office ever again! Coup attempts & sedition must have consequences or they are only dress rehearsals!
You must be talking about the Republican Fascist Party.
@Richard Batchelder People are wearing masks, and getting vaccinated
Biden has already issued over 50 executive orders. Democrats, the fake news and big tech are censoring Trump and other conservatives. It’s the very definition of fascism.
I live in Germany and I do know what facism means. Trump is a facist – no ifs, ands or buts. A right-wind facist.
The American Fascist Party, formerly known as the GOP.
Oh, Rod. 🙄
#EveryoneAgreesToTheToS when they join a media/social site.
“Break the 📑…get the 👢.”
GOP is destroyed by Trump and they deserve it.
@CynAnne1 And my god, how could I forget that he bragged to letterman about how he breached the capitol building and sat in a senators chair and got arrested for it, called African Americans “super predators,” Leeched of the people for 48 years, Enriched his family by abusing his position in government, 10% for the big guy, Assulted a woman in 1993, told voters that if they don’t vote for him they ain’t black, said that cuomos response to coronavirus was the “gold standard” of responses,I guess a cover up is the gold standard to him. Pathetic president..
@Just Me tRUMP certainly helped make it worse.
@Jeff Plamenig Like I said.. he enabled them to show exactly who they are, didn’t make them worse.
Just like Lindsey Graham correctly predicted would happen. 😉
Hopefully. Money has staying power.
The demise of the republican “party” is the best thing for American democracy.
@Barbara Wanlass For whatever reason they are scared of him, or is Putin they fear.I do believe they also owe money to Russia and China, that’s just one possible reason.
The unstoppable demise of the repub party is now inevitable. To the chicken littles out there that does NOT mean US will be a single party nation. That’s just nonsense, other parties will form. Two groups within the repub party are already negotiating their existence either as factions or break aways. As much as I relish the dismantling of the current republican party, I recognize an opposition party is essential for democracy.
I hope dump does start up his own party, “patriot party” apparently, all the dross can move there clearing out the swamp.
Por supuesto
@Richard Batchelder Pfizer and Moderna created those vaccines without any financial help from the Trump administration. So stuff your praise, science works.
Work to publicly shame all republican doners, pressure & boycott them all to choke off their $$$, work to see they wear their party over country seditous stain forever, & start work now to see they are NEVER elected to ANY public office ever again! Coup attempts & sedition must have consequences or they are only dress rehearsals!
Joe forgot the rest of Lyin’ Lindsey’s quote, which is even more appropriate: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed…
…AND WE WILL DESERVE IT!”
It’s amazing how so many Republican politicians made accurate apocalyptic predictions about Trump and the future of the Republican party and they are the ones who are destroying themselves for him. It’s almost like they knew they were going to be hypnotized by him. SMH
@Erica Espinosa he has dirt on them.
Because Donald Trump raise the hate, that’s why they follow him.
Exactly.💯
Agreed on! Now they feel comfortable with it. Didn’t notice them before Donald Fraud Duck gave them courage to hate openly.
Their admiration of followers for the orange mobster says everything about their integrity.
*TRUMP ONE TERM PRESIDENT NEXT TERM IS IN PRISON FOR SURE*
Don’t take that for granted but we can hope. If dems follow the rule of law, dump and his family would be jailed for life.
If we are lucky .
Joker Face
I SO completely hope you are 100% right
@Katherine Raven
Very true 💯💯
@Richard Batchelder you don’t forget that your mister tRump denied that the virus was deadly. I would not be so sure that you got your 2 doses thanks to him. Don’t be so sure. Only time will tell. Have a nice day.
He gave them a taste of fascism and they’re hooked
But why? The most rabid trumpcult members are people trump wouldn’t bother to pee on if they were on fire. He did nothing for them except use them for votes & donations, give them Covid then got them arrested & they STILL love him! 🤦♀️
It’s like Stormfront from “The Boys” said: “People love what I have to say! They believe in it! They just don’t like the word Nazi…”
“The first one’s free, kid.”
Trump is just another pusher.
Numerically white America is outnumbered and they do not like it, or want to embrace it. They are choosing to fight it out through jerrymandering and non white voter oppression.
I know, right? And yet they deny it!!
Lindsey not only said “When we nominate Trump, we’ll get dstroyed” He also added: “And we will deserve it.” Right!
@Taylor Fox I’ll stand by my statement, History will tell… so far Biden has killed over 80,000 Jobs.!!!
@Richard Batchelder You can stand by it all day long, you just can’t prove it’s true. Because it’s BS.
How can a man that lost the House, Senate and White House in one term be all that? trump is a one term twice impeached 3rd rate con man with the IQ of a turnip, and is still smarter than his simple minded cult members. Sad and Pathetic.
@Taylor Fox – At least…
#MoscowMitchFinallyGotHis1TermPrezzy 😂
@CynAnne1 lol Very true.
Are we still taking seriously anything uttered by Lindsey?
trump will only look worse with time. Past his sell-by date for sure.
He expired well before sell-by dates came into vogue.
I wouldn’t be so sure. I think you might live to regret how your media have indoctrinated you.
It all depends upon whether the socialists take complete control, however, and it’s no longer possible to get them out of office.
@TheDiamond2009 I am sure you are a braindead cultist MAGAt fascist traitor. Now go cry and go back to your CONspiracy bs.
The reason is they think the American public will forget if they themselves act like nothings wrong with Trump’s actions. They are enablers normalizing destructive behavior as being, not so bad. “There’s nothing so bad as something, that’s not so bad.” That’s the mind games they are playing ruthlessly. We must believe what we see with our own eyes and what we have heard if we are to salvage our Country from this madness.
Lost the popular vote, lost the house, lost the presidency, lost the senate…why wouldn’t the Republicans stick with this serial winner.
Exactly, keep up the good work. 👏👏👏👏
#SoMuchWinning 🤣
Well put 👏
🤣🤣🤣🤣😃
They stay on the hook because Trump may be a bad president, but he’s an excellent con-man. He sells the notion of, “Greatness is just around the corner! Believe me! Anyone who doesn’t is a Loser!” No matter how many times he is proven wrong or his marks don’t get the returns they expected, he will state “that’s actually a good thing!” and they just need to trust him a little bit longer. And on and on.
Meanwhile, the rest of Baby Cheesus’s congregation still pray to the Toddler Messiah and even make pilgrimages to Mecc A Largo.
Trump is like Covid to the GOP. The aftereffects can linger a looooong time.
It might just cripple the party forever.
@Le Thanh Hiep and they would DESERVE it.
#NoMoreOxygenForThem 💨👋🏻😏
People forget that the Republican party was filled with racist self-serving politicians before Trump. They are just more embolden since Trump
Russell’s mom- RUSSELL! ANCIENT ALIENS IS ON!
Biden is known for his racist crime bill and Obama deported more brown people than any other president… lmao
@Russell…True. 💯
Republicans live in opposite land, where bad is good and good is bad. They believe in magical beings, and deny science. There’s no hope for them.
