What do you think all these GOP senators get in return for brown nosing Trump?
September 17, 2019 at 4:19 pm
It is really beyond me. All these GOP senators who will sit idly by and let Trump do what he wants as well as praise him when he doesn't do anything. Maybe I'm just naive, but I just don't get it.
How many nukes do you have?

The support of the base. Or, at least, that's the theory of the base they're running with. Additionally, they get access and funding.
There is no GOP. It's the Trump Party now.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

At least one more term in office with very little effort.

Voters who like Trump tend to like him more than they do their own senator. This make the senators in question kind of nervy that, if they turn on Trump, the Trumpites will turn on them.
At least, that's how it looks from here.

What do you suppose could possibly make them do otherwise when they are all, all pretense, duplicity and self-interest, with no principles, no morals, no shame and no dignity?
That is what GOP is, a party that has assiduously cleansed itself of anyone so forsaken as to be saddled with a redeeming quality of some kind.

Reminds me of those Sicarios that worked for Pablo Escobar. Blind loyalty no matter what he does. Also not to mention once you are in, there really isn't a way to get out.

Supporting the team is just a way to further your own career.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

Pablo Escobar’s goons may actually contain a few really loyal men. Few if any in the GOP is loyal to trump. They are loyal to nothing, not trump, nor the country, not any principles personal or political, good or bad, besides the principle of always on the lookout for the filthiest coattail to ride. Trump happen to be by far the filthiest bag ever to trail a coattail from Pennsylvania Avenue.

A hard on. It's the only way they can get it up.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
