I KNEW IT!! The repubs Are Gonna Double Down On The Traitor

I was listening to the pundits say early on about how this is a moment for the repubs still on the fence, to make a choice.

LOL!!!!

They're NOT on the fence. They're behind him 100%, and they're not going to change now.

They are so invested in him by supporting him thru all his lies, impeachments and antics - they would look even worse now if they didn't continue to circle the wagons for him.

They also know he will take them down faster if they abandon him now. He'll turn on them in a shot and take his cult with him.

Either way they are screwed. They're going down either way.

I think they are hoping someone else takes him down so they can tell his cult they supported him all the way. They don't want to shoulder any of the blame for his demise.

They think they'll inherit the support of his cult that way.

This is just my humble opinion.

The powers that be are cutting him loose and going with DeSantis. Eventually the rest of them will all fall in line

As Michael Corleone once said “keep your friends close but your enemies closer.” He smells the White House and one day the knife will come out.

"It's all politics to tarnish frump before he reruns. Nothing found at the resort. FBI will plant fake docs to incriminated him. This will backfire on the libs and we'll win in november. He can still run if under indictment."

The usual drivel.

Or are they just saying it's a bogus/political persecution and stomping their feet and waiving their fists in the air saying they'll make Democrats pay for this?

Because, saying he's innocent is standing behind him. Wailing about, gnashing their teeth and playing the victim is playing to their base of nutters.
