Republicans have to let Donald Trump lose if they want victory
By Michael Starr Hopkins, opinion contributor — 08/07/20 10:00 AM EDT

Watching Republicans walk themselves off a proverbial cliff is stunning and stupefying, all at the same time. It is stunning because of the inability of Republicans in Congress to appreciate the long-term ramifications of their short-term victories. It’s stupefying because of the demographic shifts that are transforming the Republican Party into a purely regional party that could go the way of the Whigs. There is clearly no long-term plan from Republicans in Congress, other than to distract away from the scandals and dismiss the barrage of criticisms coming from inside their political house.

The lore of Donald Trump may be that of a political survivor, one who broke every rule imaginable while managing to avoid removal. But to a majority of voters, he is also an uninformed, unprepared, and unsteady political actor in the midst of a historic crisis. Republicans in Congress are finally beginning to say publicly what many have said privately to me for years, “He’s a sinking ship that is going to take the whole crew down if we don’t do something about it.”

Yet Republicans continue to do nothing about it. Symbolic gestures like putting on masks despite the President's erratic messaging or pushing back on his calls to delay an election few people think he can win sprout up periodically. But the political courage, or even self-serving outcry, that many expected in the wake of consistently bad polling has failed to surface in any substantial fashion.

That's like saying people have to elect Democrats if they want to end racism.

Intuitive and obvious commentary.
Wise leaders seize the moment but republicrats have never been wise.
Nonetheless, their moment came during the impeachment fandango; when they could have rid themselves of this buffoon.
Now he is on his way out the door and they face the loss of the Senate; rendering them impotent
for at least 4 years.
Predictably, their cowardice blinded them to the reality of Trump.

       Trump keeps each of those GOP senators' manhood locked in the Resolute Desk. If they bring Trump a signed note from their wives, Trump lets them borrow it for a weekend.

“Victory”, as in restoring the sweet deal a good number of pubs as well as rats had selling their nation out to the Chicoms? That kind of “victory”?

Michael Starr Hopkins is an Obama/Clinton operative.  This piece of dribble should not even be on this site.  It is worse than trash.

Yeah, don't you just love intellectually dishonest articles that thinly veil an attempt to make the reader think a republican is writing it?

Pulling out all the stops.

Funny, but that's what a lot of the Trump crowd told us whenever anyone pointed out that the 2016 election ended up being a choice between the arsonist with the blow torch and the arsonist who like to play with matches.

Or was that the arsonist with the flamethrower versus the arsonist with the Molotov cocktail?

Doesn't matter why.  Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Wrong. Where do you people come up with this stuff?   WWW.MAGAPILL.COM (http://WWW.MAGAPILL.COM)   POTUS SAID....following the constitution and with help from congress, these are the things he would like to implement for America's survival.
