    Nah, the GOP are trying to future proof themselves from criticism. They’re banking on rose colored glasses being on for pre-Trump republicans.

      Yup

      Everyone sees how romney and liz cheney (and mccain before them) was praised as “the one sane republican” and want to set themselves up to be that when trump finally croaks and they can run “moderate republicans” again.

      All these fucks vote more or less in lockstep with trump and the magats outside of MAYBE one or two issues. But they just don’t like that they have no power in the party anymore and that trump has repeatedly demonstrated he can’t get any down ballot candidates elected.
