(22,976 posts)To continue voting Republican. Even without Trump, Republicans will still carry on with their Deep State crap, their Pravda-like state-TV (Fox), etc.
Hannity, Rush, et al will be begging them to stick with the Republican Party.

(19,992 posts)voters, they'll STILL be afraid of losing Trumper voters. They've already done the same when Republican voting Independents deserted them.

(22,976 posts)But I strongly suspect Trump fatigue is spreading all across the Electoral map.
Sure, his hardcore supporters would do a Jonestown number if 45 ordered it.
But there are far fewer of them than us, and thus their seemingly hard-wired need for myriad feats of cheating in multiple arenas to retain power. (Voter suppression, gerrymandering, moving the physical voting places to the outskirts of town, targeted media influences by the Russian mob...all the usual suspects.)
If there were free and fair elections, these dangerous buffoons would go down in flames.

he's been liking trumps butt since then and still is and we have to wonder if he's been getting freelance bucks from trump or even the russians
at some point establishment gop will have to get limbaugh to abandon trump or the whole thing goes down together. gop senators may take their chances vs limbaugh in a group but not individually
americans could make it a lot easier for them to desert him, and for the dems to do this quicker with less 'concern from the red state dems' and idiot media like tweety just warning about the exaggerated 40% trump base, if they all started seeing protests at radio stations and the 88 universities that broadcast sports on 260 limbaugh stations
global warming denial alone should be enough of a reason

(42,018 posts)I swear, the GOP is nothing but greed and grasping. Hes been a meal ticket. Russia, Fox, Breitbart, the Republicans in power, every last one will sink their fangs into his neck as soon as its in their best interest to do so. He thinks hes Top Dog when really hes just the leg they all hump.

(82,849 posts)Here's the road map. We need to ratchet up the pressure, and keep talking up impeachment and removal from office. Even the most craven Republican Senator will think twice if it looks like he's going to lose his next electoral go-round.
We will need to take a page from the Republican playbook and overcome our own reticence to repeat ourselves. Republicans rally public opinion to their cause by hitting the same talking points over and over. After awhile, even the lowest information voters can recite Republican talking points: It's drilled into them like a nursery rhyme. We need to hit "impeachable offenses" with the same relentless frequency that Republicans use for "tax and spend" or "liberal media." Put the Republicans on the hot seat, and let them try to explain why the naked lawlessness of the Trump administration isn't what it looks like.

When Rupert Murdoch and sons figure out that they can make more money (or lose less) with Pence FOX will pummel him senseless.

(638 posts)I hope this is true but we will see if any of these Republicans actually do more than say the most tepid of criticisms. I want all the information to come out and show wrongdoing by all of these sacks of crap including Pence, McTurtle and the others who we may not even know right now.
