Sorry bad info, but I could wait 13 months to say something, like Pence.
He’s just come to the realization that Trump is going down and is looking for cover

Bannon calls Pence a stone cold coward: “I can’t take Pence & all these guys up there ratting out Trump on Capitol Hill right now”

He said the quiet part out loud. You can’t “rat out” an innocent person

Trump, Bannon & their terrorist gang are guilty as hell & they all know it

He didn't stand up for the truth. He just couldn't get away with subverting it.
There's a lot more Pence could have said if he were serious.
John Kasich was on CNN with Erin Burnett asking where has Pence been for the last six years. "Real courage is speaking up when you have nothing to gain by doing it."

Kasich is a disgruntled reject whose intent is to besmirch those who rejected him.

The GOP should take lessons from
the democrats about how to take out their own garbage, Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy.

So George Bush
Mitt Romney
John McCain
Carly Fiorina
George Will
John Kasich
Adam KinInger
Liz Cheney

Are now considered “RINOs”.

And their leading candidate is a corrupt, sexual predator, disgraced twice impeached Trump.

Tells you everything you need to about today’s GOP.

“you cant accuse those protester of being ambiguous”?

protester? what protester? can anyone please translate this from gibberish to english? wow you really love playing stupid (guess you never heard Hang Mike pence or where it was chanted )

Desantis and Trump aren’t close, there’s rumors they dislike each other. Yet Desantis is an absolute rock star in the gop.

that kind of blows your theory out of the water that no one in the party can survive without bowing to trump. not really Jim Desantis is Trumpism in Black Hair he's not bringing in new Republicans

please source that quote. i’d like to know you you say speaks for “ the base”. the base speak for themselves

He has become an absolute rock star among center-right voters and conservative voters,” said Peter Feaman, a member of the Republican National Committee from Florida. “All I have to do is mention his name, and the rooms immediately burst out in applause.”

Not just "now".

No more corrupt than many Democrat heros.
"Predator" is way overstating it. Clinton was more of a predator.
Being impeached by the opposing party whose main objective is to "disgrace" in order to claim that he has been disgraced is disgraceful.

Madison Cawthorn's Fox News clips, praising Russia's military might and deriding America's capabilities, are being broadcast on Russia's state TV. Perfect timing, in light of his St. Petersburg story being so widely discussed in the U.S.

you literally made up a quote, put it in quotation marks, and attributed it to the gop base

that’s not discourse wayne, that’s insanity.

you guys all hear the same voices in your head, and respond only to what you WISH we were saying.

because you know you can’t respond to what we’re actually saying.

Desantis is a lot like trump ( but without the personal baggage), that’s why i love him, and why you’re scared sh*tless of him.

Desantis will advocate for policies that people like and which work. And you cant attack him as easily as we can attack trump. that’s why 60 minutes humiliated themselves by smearing him dishonestly.

Not sure what a "career criminal" is. But if someone has not been convicted of a crime, is that one of the qualifications for being a career criminal?

Here’s one of your real Republicans

Are you sure he is a real Republican? Are there any?
What is a real Republican? Someone who believes we are a Republic, not a Democracy?

On ABC, Chris Christie dismisses the RNC as Trump stooges: "This is just a majority of 168 people. And the RNC, most of those folks were put into place... by Donald Trump... Certainly, Ronna Romney McDaniel is carrying water for Donald Trump... Let's not make it bigger than it is."

Christie sides with Pence, against Trump, on the facts of 1/6: "Jan. 6 was a riot that was incited by Donald Trump in an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week: overturn the election."

If you wanna know why the Republican Party cannot be saved, don’t listen to a crazy like Marjorie Taylor Greene, all you need to do is listen to a coward like Marco Rubio.

first of all, rubies dancing there was embarrassing.

the gop can’t be saved? what just happened in VA and NJ?

Pete, here’s what every single one of you does. and i mean every single liberal here.

when you talk about the gop, all you ever do, is post examples of them doing bad things ( and there are a lot of examples). You ignore everything good, and desperately try to convince yourself that the bad stuff is all there is.

when you talk about democrats. al you ever do is post examples of them doing good things ( and there are plenty of examples). You ignore everything bad, and desperately try to convince yourself that the good stuff is all there is.

When you compare the two sides, and all you do is compare the gop failures to the democrats successes,,obviously that comparison makes the democrats look superior.

But is that a meaningful comparison?

Remember your comment that the gop cannot be saved, this. November.

Why can’t you admit the gop does some things well, and that democrats do some things poorly? what are you afraid will happen if you said that out loud?

From the National review: “The action of the mob on Jan 6 was#^&an indefensible disgrace. It is deserving of both#^&political accountability#^&and criminal prosecution. It is wrong to minimize or excuse what happened that day.”

Wonder what’s happening in Virginia

Youngkin’s team attacked a 17 year old activist for holding him accountable

The same Youngkin attacked the media simply for asking why his 17 year old son tried to vote illegally for him TWICE

Nepotism: one set of his rules for his own son and throwing everyone else to the dogs

Glenn Youngkin launched a tip line that allows parents to report any educators teaching “divisive” subjects, like critical race theory, in Virginia schools. It's been a disaster.

maybe you don't understand.....when you institute or support mask mandates and then you don't wear one in the places you required everyone else to wear them...you are a clown...we have many current examples

Agreed. It's also wrong to fantastically exaggerate what happened that day. Wrong to charge them for crimes they didn't commit.

And it's wrong to assign blame, to tens of millions of registered republicans.

No one ever said the entire democratic party was responsible for the violent, feral anarchy during the summer of 2020. The rioters are responsible, no one else.
