... "So, President Biden not only gets to blame you guys about the border, but he gets to blame President Trump, who he says tanked this whole deal, saying he wants to keep it alive as a campaign issue and that basically, he's running the GOP at this point," Bream said.

The Fox News host went on to share a Politico article published on Friday titled, "'It's devastating': Trump seizes unmatched control over GOP.'"

Bream read a quote from the article from former chair of the Nevada Republican Party Amy Tarkanian: "'He's got a stronghold'...'I don't know how to explain it. It's completely mind-boggling to me, the type of brainwashing that has been done.'" ...

Bream then challenged Cotton, saying, "Critics say there's no check on him within the GOP. You're all afraid of him. You've endorsed him. What do you make of this argument that he's essentially taken away your autonomy as a senator?" ...

@#1 ... 'I don't know how to explain it. ...

Oh, I can explain it, quite simply.

Marching in goose-step.


There you have it.

"You're all afraid of him (Trump)"

The GOP is the greatest collection of weenies of al time.

People who seek to protect themselves from the predator by pleading to be eaten.

It's hilarious because Trump in himself is just a fat old man who calls people names.

It's hilarious on another level because these people don't seem to think that their precious 2nd Amendment can protect them against MAGA.

The only reason most republicans are afraid of Trump is because they can't control him.

"Marching in goose-step."

Is that the excuse you give all the states who knowingly allowed an ineligible candidate on their primary ballot?

The excuses I saw offered here was all "but they are afraid of Trump and his MAGAts"

Trump is fond of inciting violence.

MAGAts are fond of domestic terrorism.

"knowingly allowed an ineligible candidate"

Your party says that's for the Supreme Court to decide.
Not the States.

That's your excuse, just without the college education to make it sound less dumb.
You are a Republican because you are afraid of being irrelevant.

Obviously, there is more than one reason for fear of Trump.

What a simple minded answer you craft.

Almost like you are afraid of giving serious thought to Trump's destruction of all Republican Political integrity.

Have you given serious consideration of Trumpism and its roots, could it be that you are fearful of sharing your thoughtful opinions.

Trying to with score with penny ante zingers, when you pretend to be befuddled by an opinion different from opinion 'B' you read on a previous thread, diminishes any legitimate expectation by the reader holds to value what you offer.

There are many other reasons for the rise of the Party of Trump, and the desrtuction of the GOP. Are they all eliminated from your range of thought after you pick one particular 'reason' in an effort to falsly rebut an additional rational basis, from a stack of many more legit answers.

When will you actually share intelligent and well considered opinions?

Is that even something you have seriously considered?

-When will you actually share intelligent and well considered opinions?

My opinion about Trump haven't changed since he first announced his candidacy.

My lack of participation in pity parties about him is not evidence that I secretly admire him.

You'll notice I don't slam Biden for anything either....and it's for the same reason....I don't join pity parties.

What other "intelligent and well considered opinion" do you want from me?

-What a simple minded answer you craft.

I'm quoting the excuse making posters on this site for THEIR simple minded answers.....not mine.

I happen to understand it's more complex than that.

#12, Wonderful start.

But, I would love to hear why you have chosen to do the pretend befuddlement again.

You are doubling down on quoting others opinions rather than share your thoughts on the complexity you both acknowledge yet refuse to present.

You say you see the complexity, but there is no real discussion being offered.

You are a totally different poster (figuretively) when you explain the complexities of the Insurance industry. You offer straight forward and to the point commentary.

Yet you play 'hide and stop looking' when serious political realities are being discussed.

Do you recognize the seriousness of Republican sponsored domestic terrorism?
Do you see that as acceptable?

Would you agree that any serious and complex discussion of the Party of Trump, formally known as the Republican Party, would be incomplete without acknowledging their unprecedented comfort with Political violence?

Would you be afraid to discuss that seriously, like a concerned Citizen? Cause you really do avoid all but the cheapest troll commentary when it is rightly brought up.

Pretend befuddlement does not indicate that you see GQPism as a seriously complex issue for serious minds, nor does it reflect a seriousness of consideration, nor a complex awareness of the Party of Trump's threat to America's Ligitimate Government and body Politic.

They are on tape saying they're afraid of getting murdered by his cult of psychos if they speak out against his crimes or hold him accountable

Just imagine if everyone here followed that rule and refused to engage with anyone who wouldn't tell them what name(s) they used to posted under. Conversation would come to a halt. Too bad. I'd love to see who everyone was.

In the end, it doesn't even matter who they used to be....but if you want to hit me with 6-8 questions in 1 post and then another...and then another.....then clearly you're either troll or someone's who's really wanting to engage.

I can't figure out which it is with Wardog....who assigns a ------- of positions to me they are in zero position to do if they just joined.

I'll gladly engage if I have time.......but it's going to be quid pro quo first.

Maybe you need him to find some dirt on Biden first before you talk to him?

How Trumpian of you.
