Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This isn't going away. The smart republicans, yes there are a few, have started to distance themselves from this. There is way too much coverage of this horror show for them to ignore. What will happen is some democrat will get outed even if it isn't the POS clinton and the media will try to replace trump with them.
There are no "smart Republicans" anymore. There no Republicans at all. That was their larval stage, before they fully morphed into their final form - MAGA.
ALL Republicans are now MAGA, whose prime beliefs are corruption, treason, racism, pedophilia, misogyny, rape, violence, murder, ignorance, and incompetence. The traditional Republican party is dead as the Whigs, and should only be referred to in an historic or scholarly context.
It’s funny because some of the popular support on the right for the President right now means there never was a moderate or traditional Republican Party. They were just waiting for the right moment to take the white hoods out again. Maybe a bunch of highly paid DC consultants gaslit themselves and everyone else into thinking the GOP was fundamentally about “conservative principles”, but the mask is off now
100%!
Any “smart” Republicans left after 2020 are also the most evil and dangerous.
No argument from me.
