How the media and the Democratic Party need to approach Republicans from now on:

They have ZERO credibility on any issue!

National security? You are fine with a former KGB official interferring in American elections. Remember when Ronnie Reagan called Russia an "Evil Empire?" Now You don't care about Putin's actions? You obviously don't care about the safety of America.

Deficits? After you raged about out of control spending, so both Presidents Obama and Clinton significantly reduced the deficit spending of W Bush and Reagan. What is the first thing you did in 2017? You added 1.5 Trillon in new debt to give the upper 1 % another tax cut. You are fiscally irresponsible.

Pro Life? You care SO much about the unborn child, but not so much after its born. You cut CHIP spending to help your rich friends. You don't give a DAM about average people.

Do what we say, but NOT what we do! You routinely vote down a raise in the minimum wage, yet have given yourselves several pay raises. You don't want people to have healthcare, yet have free universal health care for yourselves and your families paid for by the American tax payer. You picked at ANYTHING the Obamas did or said, from a tan suit to the first lady's bare arms, yet say nothing when this buffoon and his tacky wife are an international embarrassment!

Approach all Republicans with the contempt they deserve!

I know I am missing many others things, but seriously can anyone name an issue where the GOP has any credibility left?

1. They call themselves conservatives but don't conserve our environment.

Theodore Roosevelt founded national parks and forests, Trump wants to trash them. Nixon founded the EPA; Trump is undermining it.

What could be less conservative than destroying our planet and failing to do anything to stop global warming before it ruins the future for our children?

4. They are UN-servative

They should be approached from behind at the top of a steep staircase.

8. BUT . THEY . WON'T

If past history is any indication.

If we EVER get rid of Trump, either through impeachment or, gawd forbid, we have to wait until 2020, I can already see Democrats touting "a new beginning" and "not looking back" and Mitch if he's still around, and Ryan will gladly go along with it even while they smirk and laugh at them behind closed doors. And then fight tooth and nail to keep their tax scam provisions by demanding cuts to "entitlements". And if we dare make a peep it will be "Youre just doing that because.....Trump. You Democrats need to just get over it"

I hope I'm wrong

I also see a similar thing happening with CNN and the rest of the MSM news. Forgive and forget. Now that the "sensible" Republicans are back in charge of their party.

9. Good post.

I'm a progressive, and I'm sick and tired of trying to reason with these people. Let's show up at the polls en masse and roll over them. That way, the right wing crazies can crawl back under their rocks, and we can have sane people actually governing the nation.

10. The GOP has plenty of credibility left- for Pussy Grabbing...

or giving a Rusty Trombone to a Russian oligarch
or creating new rules to govern women's bodies
or drilling oil in national parks
or gerrymandering- they are REALLY GOOD at that one
or picking the most qualified people for government offices (Trump, Pence, Zinke, McTurtle...)
or avoiding the truth on climate change
or...

12. Remember their use of the term "appeasement?"

Where did that term go
