Maybe a lot of Congressional Republicans were afraid to back President Trump because they had heard of the surveillance of candidate and President Elect Trump.
They were waiting to see if Trump would survive the coup attempt! (posted by rxsid on 1/05/2018)
Thanks, rxsid, for posting the above.
That has been on the back of the minds of a few of us.
Maybe, some key Republicans were warned by the Obama thugs, that our Intel had some bad stuff on candidate Trump, president elect Trump and President Trump!
So any support from them for Trump was weak if at all.
How many Republicans and Never Trumpsters bought into the Trump/Russia bs peddled by the Deep State and their mediots?
That may be changing as the Trump/Russia bs is dying down.
The other reality was there never was any election crimes nor meddling committed by candidate Trump, Trump the election winner, and the Trump election team.
Also, as they find out that surveillance of candidate Trump and his people was illegal, we may see the Congressional Republicans starting to support President Trump via the media.
Obama/Jarrett and their DOJ/FBI/CIA thugs committed some serious crimes of sedition with their illegal surveillance of candidate and President Elect Trump.
Obama/Jarrett for sure. Especially Jarrett, who was the brains behind all of Obama’s sellouts to the muslim world. Traitors both.
“Maybe, some key Republicans were warned by the Obama thugs, that our Intel had some bad stuff on candidate Trump, president elect Trump and President Trump!”
I suspect the real reason GOP support for Trump has been lukewarm to non-existent is most politicians are compromised in some way and are on a leash. Look at how Trey Gowdy has transitioned from pit bull to just another hack. Look at how Darryl Issa came on strong and then petered out over time. Look at Jason Chaffetz who seemed strong and then not only wimped out but left Congress. Paul Ryan and others have talked a good game and then buckled down and did the bidding of the power brokers and monied interests behind the curtain.
Congressional campaigns are extremely expensive. Very few politicians independently wealthy (Bush, Kennedy, Heinz, Issa, Trump). Those who are not independently wealthy must raise millions of dollars from organizations or wealthy people. Those organizations and wealthy will have to be repaid once the politician is elected to office. If they don’t buckle down due to reelection money pressure, they will eventually be put in a situation where they can be extorted. Look at Denny Hastert who rose to Speaker of the House. Look at Newt Gingrich. Look at John Roberts, Chief Justice of the United States.
The truth is President Trump will sign any legislation the Republican Congress puts in front of him. Yet where is all of the legislation Republicans elected to Congress over the last 6-8 years have been promising? It hasn’t been written or voted on by the House and Senate. The Republicans in the House and Senate are controlled and will not write and vote on the legislation they have promised to their constituents. They will not fund the wall. They will not end Obamacare. They will not end wasteful spending. They will not eradicate the federal agencies terrorizing the public. They will not support President Trump because the people who hold the leashes will not allow them to.
The Republicans have controlled both House of Congress for a year and the White House for almost a year. Yet the House and Senate have not passed a budget bill for the fiscal year which began October 1, 2017. This is the most basic responsibility of Congress yet it has not been fulfilled. If Congress cannot pass a budget, with a single party controlling the executive and both houses of the legislative branch, the nation is not being governed under the Constitution.
