  They’ve had plenty of chances to get rid of him and continue without him. Instead, they give him a new lease of life each time. Either impeachment was the perfect opportunity. After the FBI search, they rallied around him. They deserve each other.

  Lmao, hardly. It's a frankenparty now, and they're 100% still hostage to the corpse they stitched themselves to. 15 speaker votes before he got elected, it's a joke. >
  
  By a NY Times right wing opinionator who gets it wrong.     If anything it was the even lower than Trump, fist fights on the House floor that we haven't seen since the enraged slavers went after abolitionists, Post-Trump GOP but Trump is still leading candidate for GOP nomination to the point even ambitious MAGA GOPers like DeSantis are afraid to declare for presidential race, afraid of Trump. >

  I don't think you have an accurate idea of what they currently are. They are not hostage. They did not attach themselves to Trump. He attached himself to them, and spouted every last ideal they schemed and whispered. He is their wet dream. Every single GOP member has been pushing these lies and schemes and sick twisted attempts to overthrow the government for decades before Trump. He just accelerated the timeline because he takes great pleasure in the crowds doing what he tells them to. He's a primadona. However, everything Trump is and has done? The GOP has embraced that and so much more for a long time. There is no redeeming qualities amongst any of them. They are not trapped with him, he is trapped with them (because he's a bankrupt corrupt stooge trying to avoid a special tea drink from Putin if he screws up).
