        Pretty sure it’s just the ones on Russia’s payroll being given new marching orders to sow disorder in the party. These people stand for literally nothing.

      It’s not different than Gavin Newsom.

      They have no spine, and no loyalty.

      Cruz would absolutely love for trump to go away, most of them would. Because they all imagine being the one to take over next.

      After trump it’s going to be late or after Bush where you can’t find a single Republican or moderate who will admit to voting for him.

      They’ll all pretend this shit never happened

        I keep wondering what the Tea Party v2.0 will be. All of these Sudden Independents ™ will need some way to burn all the Nazi uniforms and some new banner and sham “party” to rally behind.

        All those teabaggers thought they were fooling people and would get positively outraged [1] if you 1) remember that they called themselves teabaggers, not “the left”, and remind them of that simple fact, and 2) pointed out that it was entirely astroturfing done to give conservatives and Republicans cover for their W support and for their support of invading Iraq (again).

        I wonder how much of that stupid Orange Jesus regalia ends up in the dumpster weeks after he passes away.

        [1] Several of them would run to mods on Denver Post to get me banned and my posts taken down. I had several timeouts for any reference to their original name, which was, in fact, teabaggers and that them denying it was just them rewriting history. I had timeouts for pointing out the mere fraud that was part of the “taxed enough already” so-called “movement”. At one point just using the term “astoturf” was enough to have a post of mine pulled.
