Seriously, if Trump proclaims a National Emergency to build his wall, how will the GOP react?

[jpak]

Crickets?

Patriotic Indignation and Reaction (Swift impeachment and conviction)?

My money is on Crickets.

R.I.P. U.S.A.

1. They will praise tRump for doing it.

[jpak]

2. That's scarier than Crickets

[metroins]

7. This.

I don't see many of them getting a backbone.

[KentuckyWoman]

3. They've already bought new kneepads is my guess.

[Autumn]

5. Responded to wrong post

[PJMcK]

10. Sorry?

What do you mean?

Respectfully, I think I know exactly what KentuckyWoman meant.

Thank you, in advance.

12. So did I, and I posted this and it was intended for your OP

4. The lackeys will declare what a strong and brilliant man he is, able to make the hard calls.

The human and rational ones will see it as stupid and a disaster as he splits the GOP further apart. ... if it is even legal and he could do it.

6. They'll line up to kiss his ass

McConnell will kill any attempt to nullify his declaration

[Autumn]

8. They will react with these

[SWBTATTReg]

9. I say that this will come around in full circle to bite them in the a**. Sure they may think...

that they have the upper hand only by shutting down the government, which in itself, is a pathetic and cowardly way of governing. By this criteria alone, these people have clearly shown that they can't even govern.

But this is besides the point, rump has already proven how pathetic he is in governing, period.

When something does need to be passed, and it will before long. Guess how quick they'll find out that they (repugs in senate, rump) have pissed off the wrong people too many times?

11. And, then there's this: how will WE respond? As keyboard warriors or as indignant citizens "taking

it to the streets"?

[jpak]

13. Both

yup

[DavidDvorkin]

14. And how will the military react? How will law enforcement react to the protest marches?

The answers will determine if the result is a quick end to the Trump Administration or a quick end to American decmocracy.
