I don’t understand why Republican Senators seem so afraid of The Turtle.

Why do you think they fear him?

They LOVE him. He's the leader of the club most of them belong to.

Probably because he has FBI files on some of them. Other reasons, they agree with McConnell and also they want to keep their jobs and just don’t care about the citizens they represent.

It's the Deep State, Jake.

If you are a Senator or Representative who has joined the Swamp, you are now an insider.

McConnell keeps the Republican members of the Swamp in line.

They don't dare step out of line. Their lives and their families' lives depend on it.

This is like the Mafia...except they ARE the law.

They aren’t afraid they are interested in staying in office and cashing in. Sad but mostly true.

Republicans held power in the Senate in 2014 when the CIA got caught spying on them.

Turtle dropped it without so much as a peep of displeasure.

I wonder how they bought him off?

Extortion.

Blackmail.

It’s not that republicans don’t get it. It’s that they are in on it.

They are more afraid of retaliation from those who are blackmailing them than the voters.
