Congressional Republicans can’t defend President Trump because he and his staff are all over the map on a lot of things that are big stories in the media right now. Put yourself in the shoes of a Republican Congressman right now. When you have Sean Spicer and Donald Trump saying two diametrically opposed things about the same story (the firing of James Comey, for example), you have no way of knowing how the hell to “defend” the president.
Not true. There are MANY GOP is safe seats who could without risk fully support POTUS and his agenda. They just don’t want to.
When Clinton was impeached, Democrats had a party at the White House. Last week a former Congresswoman Florida Democrat was convicted of 18 FELONIES. Dems immediately rallied to her.
The GOP is choosing to not support POTUS because they want his agenda to fail. In fact, they prefer the progressive Democrat agenda to his agenda. How pathetic is that?
The House Freedom Caucus would be among them. And yet these were the members of Congress who were singled out for scathing criticism by President Trump for refusing to support Paul Ryan's health care reform bill that didn't address a single item in the health care reform proposal that Trump's campaign had proposed when he was a candidate in 2016.
Like I said ... the Republicans in Washington who will fare the best over the next couple of years are likely to be the ones who can figure out how to ignore him whenever they need to.
