Why the Republicans in the house and senate are so afraid of trump primaring them that they bend to his will? Don't they see the majority of Americans are unhappy with the disasters that are occurring with musk and trump?
They aren't having town halls because their constitutes are not happy with them. That there should give them a warning of what's to come at election time.
To me, it says their constitutes aren't worth fighting for, and that will be their water-loo, not musk and dump..

Which would require us to become armed thugs ourselves if not for our willingness to show up, get beaten and bruised, and not return engagement in a physical fight.
So, I guess the strategy is: Keep smiling, and when pushed say come join us!

(76,481 posts)You are correct, of course, that they are afraid of a primary. But they are equally afraid of the unhinged maga cult members. While Democrats get those most threats these days, off the record many republicans admit to being intimidated, including being afraid for their family members. They are aware that the felon poses threats beyond a primary.
Interesting topic. Important issue. Thank you for this.
