So Far, the Republican Party’s Response to the Indictment of President Trump Is to Use the Event for Fundraising
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS • APRIL 2, 2023 • 200 WORDS
 
The Republican Party has a handful of members of leadership potential who have our country’s success at heart — Jim Jordan, Ron Thompson, Rand Paul, Ron DeSantis — but they are limited by the Republican Establishment, which is part of the same corrupt gang as the Democrats. When you see Senate Republicans clinging to Mitch McConnell as the Republican leader in the Senate, you know that there is no fight in the Republican Party. The Republicans are part of the problem.

Trump’s great failure is that he did not use his electoral support to create a new party and to terminate the useless Republican Party by moving the Republican vote to a party that actually represented the majority of American voters. Trump failed because he surrounded himself with Republican Establishment enemies who deserted him. I knew he was finished when he failed to stand by General Michael Flynn, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, who knew where all the bodies were buried and could have protected Trump had Trump had sense enough to appoint an Attorney General who was not his enemy.

Perhaps Trump has learned and no longer is a babe in the woods. But with a majority of Republicans in Congress happy to be rid of him, it is uncertain what Trump’s fate will be.

WOW TALK ABOUT THE CAULDRON CALLING THE teapot BLACK, glass houses and all that! And please just for reality sake explain how Trump is using this manure pile of Braggs to his advantage to up his position in the polls and boost his campaign funds? I will not apologize for not genuflecting at the Trump altar, he is man and only that, when he is right I will support him and when he is wrong I will say it. And NOTHING changes the fact that he wouldn't be in this position if he hadn't been whoring around on his wife, but you all forgive him that while you attack others for the same thing

Oh and in parting I just want to commend you again on your biting wit, to the bone you took me with that clever repartee. Perhaps you should put me on ignore than you won't have to be concerned when I 'can't help myself'.

Yep, the same merchants who cry a river of tears, when at the same time Trump's slimey Stone-Pecker attack lackey dogs do the same to his opponents.....   And GOP ones at that.  They made a career of hypocrisy.

Only a few GOP politicians have spoken out.  Most remain silent.  About a dozen of his supporters showed up in FL around Mar A Lago.   So far the drama has been low key -- a good thing.

It should be low key, that way Antifa fascists and other agents of the dnc will not be given opportunity to engage in acts that will be blamed on Trumps supporters.

Agreed, let's just hope it remains low key.
