Chris Hayes Looks At The ‘Red Exodus’ As Another Republican Retires | All In | MSNBC
Run Rats Run.
Steven Anderson ….. 🐀🐀🐀🐀
Sad how these cowards are running away to save face instead of standing up to the constitution and saving America .
@Tessmage Tessera I’m hoping he will lose big because it will serve him right, but I doubt it would teach him a lesson.
I’m willing to bet against you on whether he will quit, because Trump has deluded himself into believing that the majority of Americans love him. Even if it’s shoved in his face by a big loss, he would try to claim it was all rigged.
@Dakhoth Keep in mind that I qualified my prediction by first saying “If Trump believes that he will be defeated in a landslide.” Right now, he doesn’t believe that about himself… but soon, I think he will.
@Tessmage Tessera I believe Trump is too deluded to see reality even if it kicked him in the face. If Trump believed he would be defeated in a landslide he would be running around screaming that he was being cheated.
@Dakhoth Possibly. We shall see.
That’s a very good, and very concerning point. Soon they will all be backing trump even more to the whims of the Russians.
“I’m going to run the republican party the same way I run my business. Straight into the ground.” – t’rump
😄😆😅
ooh. love this.
Oooooh ouch
From the penthouse spire
GOP IS NOT EVEN OPTIONAL PARTY. IT IS A PARTY TO FILL POCKET WITH RUSSIAN MONEY.
GOP candidates MUST be vetted for Russian ties when running in primaries.
Democrats and the feds better expose them or else like the other Sessions GOP 💩 from Texas they be getting Russian money to run.
@Carlo Jones Still stuck in the past with the ‘Russian collusion’ nonsense?
@FG54 It’s OUR PRESENT..
..and by NO MEANS NONSENSE.
Republicans have went so far right that racists are now considered moderates.
@ghosttrain2066 The facts don’t care about your feelings.
@DivineHeresy The deranged leftists are more popular than your Cheeto of a president.
@DivineHeresy the far-right neo-nazis white nationalist are a bunch of psychopaths. They are delusional just making up stories that don’t even make sense they r stupid..
The Republicans far-right neo-nazis white nationalists are all delusional psychopaths they just make up s*** don’t even make sense…
*Republicans are retiring because they know the House & Senate will be Democratic whether Trump wins re-election or not. By retiring, Republican Congress members solidify their life long healthcare insurance & retirement, all funded by tax payers*
@Robert Bogie and at top level the wealthier just want to make their money keeping people poor whilst they work for low pay.
correct
Lol…instead of standing up to orange man they quit. What an example to show the kids. 😒
Spineless men and women
lombardo141 absolutely bad example never earn ANYTHING the TRUMP Crime FAMILY
I WON’T stand up for U.S constitution , I’ll just retire.
~republicans trump supporters
The rats are deserting the sinking ship.
They did their job they got their permanent tax cut for the 1% that’s,,, that’s who they are.
@BonerMaroner 100% Correct!
Phantom X they don’t want egg on their faces when kick comes to shove!
@BonerMaroner Nothings permanent. You see these BILLIONAIRES crying about Sanders, Warren???
The rats are deserting the stinking ship.
First elected in 1992!!?? Ya think we need term limits?
Yes you do!
How dumb are you and your founding fathers not to set it in the 1st place!?
@Nurlinda F Sihotang How stupid of me being born 250 years to late.
@bodasactra then start NOW!
If you dont attempt to change it, why bother complaining?
@Nurlinda F Sihotang Okay I will try now. Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that even talks about this issue. Vote for him and my comment serves a purpose other than simple awareness. What say you?
@bodasactra AYE!
The cowards are leaving thier party to that thing.
Thing 1 and Thing 2 said don’t put him(45) with them, they have morals.
The sooner they all leave, die and get replaced by humans, the better.
Amazing how many Republicans suddenly have this urgent need to leave Congress to “spend more time with their families.” 😂
Nooshi N- the trumptanic is sinking FAST…
After 75… wow.
every congressman who took a piece of the Iran money is going to prison and they all know it. If Hillary had won they would be safe. Now you know why they are trying to impeach.
@Manuela Costa Lima Working? Ol’ Smokey-Eyes barely held any press briefings her last year. She worked even less than Trump.
Hydrocarbon82 —
She “worked” for Trump during the campaign and obviously proved her loyalty to him. Though she clearly didn’t labour in the regular manner, Sanders did make every effort to be as good a liar as Trump himself. She replicated his statements perfectly, parroting his claims of superior leadership with the proficiency of a great photocopier, one lie after another, one exaggeration following the next in ways that made sense only to the person responsible for their invention: Trump. If Sanders worked hard, she did it in the beginning to replicate an administration mired in multiple investigations, scandals, constant firings, and thick clouds of suspicion Daily press briefings quickly became stupid samplings of a confused, dishonest and unreliable leadership. Once Trump started to reduce the number of press briefings, it didn’t take long before none were authorized or held in the press room and were moved to the White House lawn. Before long Sanders was made redundant, only to be replaced by Trump himself. By not having a press secretary, Trump began controlling the location and information given out at press briefings. He needs to control what is said and who says it. As he’s incapable of fully trusting the people around him, he sees himself as the only one he can trust to bring his message to the people. As an expert liar and manipulator, Trump has no qualms relaying his message and self-aggrandizing agenda to the people he hates with a passion: the press core. By seeing himself as his own best advocate, Trump makes the press secretary useless and unnecessary. Who can better create an alternate reality than the person who lives in it 24/7? Wherever she is and whatever she’s doing, Huckabee Sanders will always work hard to perfect the deceitful creature that Trump molded in his own image.
first thing that came to mind when I glanced at the title “red exodus”, was that Russians were exiting the country and then realized it meant republicans… which can apply to both I guess.
I could RESPECT those 20+ Republicans even more if they FIRST impeached and prosecuted Trump to remove him from the Oval Office BEFORE retiring from the Congress or Senate.
They’ll still be there for the vote. So fingers crossed!
Nevuah Gallery wow, brilliant idea…could this happen?
@Patrick Ayotte, As sure as I am that Yahweh Elohim created the heavens and the earth, YES!
When the going gets tough the Republicans retire.
Good Riddance
If I can find 10 honest republicans.They will get my vote. So far I have not seen even 5
They prefer to defend corruption. Well there are consequences.
Yea and with a few investigations I’d guess jail would be a consequence for some/many of them.
The honest Republicans are leaving their party & becoming Independents or Democrats, or just voting for Democrats. This has been happening all around the country, in every state, for the better part of 2 years now. The good Republicans are now ashamed to say they’re Republicans.
Any shred of decency the Republican Party ever had died with McCain. They are collectively so crooked and awful that seeing them become an endangered species would bring a great deal of relief to me. Kowtowing to Trump signed their death warrent.
Who knew he was the balls of the party…
Whoa now…. McCain wasn’t so noble. He did a coupla things that were not DESPICABLE, but remember he was the coward who unleashed Sarah Palin on America, was too spineless to stop her from inciting racism and never apologized for it. Nice legacy, McCain.
Even as they’re getting out of Dodge they will not put America’s interests ahead of their own
Gotta get them book deals!!!
@Antionette Wilson you my friend are absolutely correct 👍
Instead of challenging the troll in office, the mindless lemmings cower in a corner and quit.
How noble.
Yes, and let them keep quitting!
We are being witnesses to the fall of conservatism. The sooner the better.
I do hope so.
