Sherrod Brown says GOP senators are always complaining privately about Trump

[kpete]

WASHINGTON ― Senate Republicans are privately unhappy with President Donald Trump, barely two weeks into his administration, according to a Democratic senator who said he’s heard a range of complaints.

“I’m not going to tell you any names, but I’ve heard all kinds of comments from Republican senators about the president’s ethics, the president’s leadership style, the president’s performance, the president’s incompetence, the president’s recalcitrance,” Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) told reporters Tuesday.

“It doesn’t manifest itself yet in anything,” he said. “Eventually it will.”

HuffPost tried to trick Brown into naming one of those senators. It did not work.

“I’ll tell you this: you’ve heard of them,” he said. “You’ve heard of every one one of them.”

1. EVIL, sniffling, lying, scamming, cheating, cowards.

They always put party and power before country.

2. They are too terrified of the implications of admitting they are/were wrong

25+ years of privatized right wing hate media has created a voting base that would only elect these types of soulless sycophants. The deep and abiding irony of it speaks to the absolute fundamental(ist) ignorance of these people. They make me sick. As I've posted elsewhere, they cannot live without their smartphones, but deny the very science that makes them function.

I've read some of your posts on other threads, and I believe we share a common mentality about much.

6. I agree.

I will be sure to read all of your posts.

3. "you've heard of them"---so he's saying these are the higher up R's

Graham, Turtle, McCain and the other "top leaders" of the Grand Oligarchy Party

4. MY Senator.

Almost always one of the most effective progressive voices, especially when it comes to labor issues.

Which means, of course, that his FB page is loaded with shit-dumb Teahadis who think a billionaire is going to solve the problems his class causes.

5. This is why WE must keep calling, emailing, writing letters, blogging, Tweeting, Facebooking

WE must do it. We must take a softer stance with the Republicans in Congress and ask them to please help save the United States and themselves. Do what is right. Many Senators have 4 to 6 years until election.

7. I don't doubt it. Hopefully it translates into action soon.

Meanwhile, we've got to stay mobilized

[gopiscrap]

8. he should secretly tape them

sow dissention among the repukes

[ananda]

9. So what? They've always been whiny bastards.

Yawn

[alarimer]

10. They will start distancing themselves, maybe a month or so before election day.

They will run so fast, you'd thing something was chasing them. The Democrats need to hang Trump around their necks like an anchor.

[MurrayDelph]

11. But they won't do anything about it

Until he gets in the way of doing any more of the damage that they DO want.

12. What are they going to do about it? Trump is obviously not qualified or capable of being in this

position. He's a veritable stew of psychiatric disorders. Will the GOP put country over party before we end up in an accidental nuclear war?

[lostnfound]

13. They will go down in history as enablers

Assuming there's any history left

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. Even these guys have to know with complete certainty

that their dear leader is seriously and dangerously mentally ill.

But they are cowards and are too busy being rewarded for selling out their country to do anything about it. They could not even find the courage to turn down, what is beyond a doubt the worst collection of malqualified appointees in modern history. At every step they are doing the exact opposite of what needs to be done.
