Republicans have been trying to justify Trump’s actions with a number of excuses: The go-to is talking about Hillary Clinton’s email server. Others point to her husband's sock drawer. Florida Representative Byron Donalds defended the ex-president earlier today on TV, saying that “there are 33 bathrooms at Mar-a-Lago. So don't act like it's just in some random bathroom that the guests can go into,” while House Speaker Kevin McCarthy added that at least “a bathroom door locks.”

It seems pretty clear that conservatives have lost control of the narrative. “Without concerted action by Republican elites, it’s hard to see how the party pulls out of its anti-democratic spiral,” Francis Wilkinson argues. Millions of MAGA-obsessed people are still willing to praise a man who is routinely labeled as a grifter, liar and a buffoon, and a federal trial will only fuel their fire. “Democracy barely survived Trump’s first term, which ended with his instigating a violent assault to halt the transfer of power to a newly elected government. It’s unlikely it could survive a second round,” Francis writes. At that point, the White House Gift Shop’s inevitable commemorative coin depicting “The END of American Democracy” will be the least of our concerns.
And let's stop calling these people conservatives, they are traitors to the constitution.

Maureen Dowd wrote a recent article in the NYT, all about how Christie is the only Republican right now with the stones to go all the way after Trump...

Jersey Boy Takes On Florida Man

Interesting article...not sure exactly how it will have any affect on the primary season so, spend the time at your own risk. But...there was this one comment from Down that made me nuts...

Even my Republican sister, who does not want to vote for Trump — but may if it’s Trump versus President Biden — sent Christie money to help him secure a spot on the debate stage.
And I'm hollering at my laptop, "And you still have a relationship with this stupid nazi cow sister of yours, Maureen???????????"
