1. The thing about republicans saying

He needs to get back to the basics you have to remember the basic republican are just mini tfg’s who want the same project 2025 items but do better hiding it. The MAGA Republicans on the other hand want to go way past what project 2025 has. Where were any of them when the vote came up for impeachment? Yep, they wanted him to stay in office. Where are the ones who talk behind closed doors? If they don’t come out and say it in public they support him. Either you’re for or against him.

3. Well said. It's not just a matter of defeating TFG, but also those still in Congress who support his authoritarian ideas

Liz Cheney discusses those in her book. Mike Johnson is willing to lie and cheat to keep TFG in power despite his claim to be "Christian." As for Gym Jordan, nothing matters to him but "winning."

2. Joe almost sounded scared for republicans there....

Not so much fot tsf, who i think he genuinely despises, but for the rest of the republican party, who he still identifies with and would support in a heartbeat.

He is likely fearful downballot candidates will be hurt, possibly delivering the house and senate along with the white house.

He doesnt want that. He wants a divided government.

He is an ass clown.
