QOTD: Bob Corker
by digby
Corker explains why the congressional GOP is refusing to do their duty:
The president is, as you know — you’ve seen his numbers among the Republican base — it’s very strong. It’s more than strong, it’s tribal in nature. People who tell me, who are out on trail, say, look, people don’t ask about issues anymore. They don’t care about issues. They want to know if you’re with Trump or not.
Ok. So GOP officials are just responding to their constituents as they should do in a democracy. Of course they do take an oath to defend the constitution but they aren't going to be sticklers about that as long as these millions and millions of conservative Americans are supportive of this traitorous, cretinous moron.
Tell me, is this really about Trump at all? Or does the problem really lie with those millions and millions of Americans?
And yes, whatever you do don't call them deplorable. That's very hurtful.
