We already have vicious attack ads here (primaries).

They are way too busy calling each other names to mention the letter T. :-)

The GOP-e’s base is not the GOP’s base. The GOP-e regards the left as their base.

Not worried. The GOP is filled with gutless bedwetters.

If they STOOD UP for the President they might get the idea that all is not lost. Instead they quake in fear of the media.

No wet noodle York. The odds are very very good Trump keeps the House. The DC Swamp isn’t going to get off that easy.

Strategists have to pretend to be going through the agony of creativity in order to make it seem that their cunning observations and suggestions have saved the day.

I guess their paymasters are more important than the citizens who vote for them.

This is the thing that has been so eye opening in the Trump era. GOP-E politicians, like Paul Ryan etc, are actively working against their party's own poltical interests because their paymasters demand it of them.

Treason for ideological reasons is bad enough, treason simply for a payday is treason most foul.

The information warfare practiced my leftists is endless. They will say anything to fool people into doing what they demand. No one knows what the probability of the election out come is. Probabilities must be based upon past facts and since there is the human element of elections, it is impossible to discern a probability, or at least a probability that is worth paying attention to. If they are not at least at the 90% confidence level, probabilities are not really worth it.

Of course, we all learned this reality in 2016 when the going stat was a HRC win was 90%+ probable. Of course, then she lost.

Go out and vote, folks. It is the only way to make probabilities into facts and to ensure the loss of demo_rats.

“This is the thing that has been so eye opening in the Trump era. GOP-E politicians, like Paul Ryan etc, are actively working against their party’s own poltical interests because their paymasters demand it of them.”

In days past they were at least careful to provide themselves some cover.
President Trump has ripped away their camouflage and exposed them publicly.
Even John Q Public, normally unaware, is seeing their true nature.

“Treason for ideological reasons is bad enough, treason simply for a payday is treason most foul.”

Well put.

If they stand up for Trump, they admit that they as politicians are utterly worthless compared to a businessman.
