The republican party is loyal to Donald Trump.

I think that was for election purposes only. It will change very quick when they see he's going to be bad for the brand. His die hard supporters will not vote red if they don't back him 100%

Is today the day republicans start to distance themselves from Donald Trump? It hasn't happened yet. Republicans in congress have been in lock step with him from the beginning. One republican voted to impeach. How many more have called him out on his post election tantrum? They are not as guilty as Trump himself but they are nearly all complicit.

The senate races are over so they have nothing to fight for at this time. They have to think about the 2022 elections and if they do blindly support him it will cost them. Again

I can't seem to find it but how many people actually got into the Capitol and were they armed?

Shows that Trump will throw any mother fucker under the bus. Pence has done nothing but spit shine Trump's nutsack the last 4 plus years.

Because Republicans aren't Trump supporters, mirite?

 

Even though 96% of Republicans voted for Trump.

They've enabled him for 4 years, but I'm sure with 14 days left in office they all have a chance to argue that none of this was their fault.

Pence is innocent! See he unfollowed him on Twitter, how could he be a Trump supporter?!

The one's that are showing up to this protest are not your everyday Republican voters. They are loyal to Trump first and foremost. He won in 2016 because he attracted a lot of people who probably didn't vote often in previous elections.

That's probably accurate. Like I said, they have to think about their own political futures. This is how politics work in this country and it really isn't anything new.

Oh absolutely, but that doesn't get you off the hook. Nearly everyone votes for what is politically expedient above what is morally right. You can go and give republicans a pass but I wont. Donald Trump is one of the worst things that has happened to this country, so I hope that tax rebate and a couple supreme court justices was worth it.

I'm not an historian but how many VPs in the past have actively took a stand against the president they were elected with?

[Jason]

I think we will see Trump and his loyal supporters try to start a 3rd party for 2024.

He knew what he signed up for.

That's what I think as well.

That is not a good measure.   At all.

By the way, the fact that a woman was shot today is an extremely low point in our short history.   This doesn't happen if Trump and his cronies in congress had simply been half graceful in defeat.

It is shameful,  despicable,  embarrassing and simply wrong.

Not as shameful as this bullshit election.

Agreed, though whoever shot her should be charged with a crime. She was unarmed and standing there.

And yes, the election this year was an unmitigated disaster.

Buffalo Brian taking some past Jeopardy winners on a tour of the Capitol. I'll take Gene Pools of Trump supporters for $1,000.

Yep. I voted for him this time around but he lost. I was over it on November 4th and it's just stupid at this point.
