NadYobWoc 10/12/17 11:35:41 AM #1:	Republicans are waiting to pass their tax-reform bill before they move to impeach Donald Trump, a former Republican member of Congress reportedly told a former US labour secretary. In a Facebook post, Robert Reich said the former senator, an old friend of his, told him Republicans are "just praying Trump doesn't do something really, really stupid before the tax bill." Speaking over the phone, Mr Reich said he asked his friend whether other Republican senators were preparing to follow Senator Bob Corker and "call it quits with Trump". "Tillerson would leave tomorrow if he wasn't so worried Trump would go nuclear, literally," he added. "Who knows whats in his head? But I can tell you this. Hes not listening to anyone. Not a soul. "Hes got the nuclear codes and, well, it scares the hell out of me. Its starting to scare all of them. Thats really why Bob spoke up." When asked what would happen if Republican leadership said Mr Trump was unfit to serve, the former senator said: "Bingo! The emperor has no clothes. Its a signal to everyone they can bail. Have to bail to save their skins. "I mean, Trump could be the end of the whole goddamn Republican party." He said once Republicans "start bailing on him, the stage is set" for impeachment."

Still, it's not a stretch that he has friends on the other side of the isle, amd whatever Reich's political affiliations are, it's not like he's a tabloid hack. Also, I would argue it's making more political sense for the GOP every day, Trump is a deeply, deeply unpopular president who continues to make incredibly questionable decisions. He's damaging the party on a fundamental level. --- Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene <cite>NadYobWoc posted [p:888294873] in Former GOP...
