Five more Republican representatives may join Ken Buck in resigning from the House of Representatives if they continue to be dissatisfied with the party’s nominee for the presidential election, Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Buck, a Colorado congressman, suddenly resigned, leaving his seat vacant from next week and shrinking the Republican’s slim majority in the House to 218 to 213. Previously, he had announced his intention to retire from Congress at the end of his current term.
When asked by Axios whether he was coming under pressure from colleagues over his decision, Buck then hinted that more colleagues might resign, saying: “I think it’s the next three people that leave that they’re going to be worried about.”
IMO that’s actually what they’re against. They’re against trump because they’re concerned about the damage he will do to the Republican Party. They are not against what the Republican Party is doing overall, and for the conservatives it is always Party Before Country, therefore they will not support the democrats.
Yep.
Just look at Haley. She had practically all the same stances as trump except “trump can do any crime”.
And Biden ran around talking about how we need more republicans like her. Then about how great Mitch McConnell is…
trump is a problem, but he’s not the problem. He’s a symptom of modern republicans, if trump’s while family died in a plane crash tomorrow. They’d be replaced by Monday with people who want the same thing and just less blatant about.
Going back to the day of McConnel and Strom Thurmond like Biden wants wouldn’t solve anything except making it harder to get Dems elected, and impossible to get neoliberals elected.
