RJRB   688 #4946 Posted January 8, 2021 So under the possibility of impeachment,the call for enacting of the 25th amendment and widespread criticism,Trump has been forced to try to dissociate himself from his more rabid supporters. It increases the chances of a more measured exit from his Presidency . Many Republicans in office now see that their slavish support of Trump is toxic and are trying to put some distance from him. Its a bit late in the day as he should have been called out so many times over his lies and rhetoric. I don’t subscribe to the theory that there was a massive support for Trump as an individual. He hijacked the Republican Party and consequently was assured of a substantial share of the vote. It is now down to that party to put its own house back in order and consign the Trump aberration to history.     Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I would say it's shocking, but we are seeing something similar in the UK, with cabinet posts held by people who only have them out of loyalty to Johnson, certainly not out of any real ability or talent. What happened with Trump should be a warning of where we are heading when we select politicians based on who or what they are against - or even hate - rather than on what they can actually do for us. The "govern" appears to be falling out of the concept of government. Edited January 8, 2021 by Delbow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
