I think that Trump may very well find that Senate Republicans are far more interested in protecting their financial investments than they are helping him out.
After forty years of voting against their own best interests, the MAGoos have come to realize that they’ve dug themselves into a giant hole. They can admit they were wrong about everything since 1980, or they can make sure everything and everyone ends up as miserable as they are.
they were wrong about everything since 1980
That’s pretty generous tbh…
I’m sticking with things that most people here can relate to. I mean, why go all the way beck to Reconstruction?
Yeah, it was meant as an extra swipe at them rather than a correction of you 😁
Even more generous is to assume they have the capability for reflection and admitting they were wrong.
/c/politics - you know I like you. We’ve had some good times, yeah? But, listen, we need to talk.
Very soon, there’s going to be an avalanche of articles noting that “Trump says {some fucked-up thing}” okay. Please don’t post those, then. It’s . . . not . . . uh, efficient.
The reason this one is important. Is that immigration is the wedge issue by Republicans this election year cycle. Trump has now taken complete responsibility for it so how can they use it?
Abortion rights would like a word with you.
Republicans aren’t going to talk about that.
We should force them to, though, it’s a fantastic issue that they lose on right out of the gate. Don’t let them take that atrocity off the table. I don’t disagree that there are other key issues to talk about, but let’s keep putting their feet to the fire on the erosion of our rights.
Well Haley is. She’s gonna make it national.
“Uhhhh… OK?”
How about we lock him up first.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former President Trump told his supporters during a rally in Nevada that he is fine with being blamed for tanking the bipartisan border bill currently negotiated in the Senate.
While speaking to an animated crowd of backers in Las Vegas, Nev., Trump, the current GOP front-runner, appeared to welcome the potential blame he could face if successfully persuading Republicans in CongresS to tank the bipartisan border security bill.
Trump’s posture during the rally in Nevada was similar to his messaging on Truth Social from Saturday morning where he slammed the border bill as a “catastrophe waiting to happen.”
On Friday, in a letter to his colleagues, Johnson said that the legislation would be “dead” as soon as it reaches the lower chamber if the rumored terms about it remain intact.
“As I explained to him [Biden] in a letter late last year, and have specifically reiterated to him on multiple occasions since, he can and must take executive action immediately to reverse the catastrophe he has created,” Johnson said.
“For all of the bluster about the chaos at the border and ‘invasion’ that they are talking about, he and his Republican party are tanking the best offer that they’re ever gonna get from President Biden and from Senate Democrats.”

Ngl, that seems like a power move.
Like how many politicians actually claim responsibility for something going wrong?
Mitch McConnell or Lindsay graham said the same thing about Supreme Court justices.
How did that turn out?
It is a power move. He always tries to take credit for things he didn’t do.
Lol, you think he will take responsibility later?
He says whatever in the moment he thinks is most advantageous. He doesn’t care about objective or subjective truths. He only cares what advantage he gets.
He wants his way, so he is saying this to get his way, not as a way to take responsibility.
