When the Russians stole internal info from the Democrats, they would have also stolen internal info from the Republicans. It is unthinkable that they wouldnt have done so.
Their possession of that information explains a lot, e.g. why people like Graham et al did a sudden 180 on Trump.
The in-office Republicans still supporting Trump are those who are the most compromised and therefore the most vulnerable. Their only hope is Trump being re-elected they have no other options to rely on.

And they've sold out their country for Trump / Putin benefit. And Putin plays Trump like a cheap fiddle.

(14,566 posts)The brainwashing from CONservative media has been relentless my entire adult life, three decades. It's pretty clear they simply have drank their own cool aid to the point their brains are completely rotted.
Nothing matters more than their epic battle with the god and country hating socialist, communist liberal spawns of satan.
