Hard to imagine that any sane person will still be defending Donald Trump this morning. But then, the current Republican Party and the right wing squawk machine has consistently shown that sanity is not their strong suit. What say you Ron Johnson?….Tom Tiffany?….Kevin Hermening?…,…

“As I just reported on @cnn with @JohnAvlon, a Republican official tells me that part of why establishment types are so angry with Josh Hawley is because they think he knows better. As the official put it: “He’s not some moron like Louie Gohmert.”-Olivia Nuzzi
“Hey, fun fact, threatening an elections official with criminal prosecution unless he rigs an election in your favor is not just impeachable but a federal crime”-Seth Abramson
“Is there a single newspaper in this country who will call on Trump to resign and be prosecuted for this call. As I remember, more than 100 called on Clinton to resign.”-Joe Lockhart

All of your major donors will be confronted with a choice. Democracy or Autocracy. America or Ron Johnson. Should they choose you, they will be shamed in the public square. We aren’t debating the delta between 39.6% and 35% tax rates anymore. You have declared war on our 244 year old Republic. You have been a patsy and complicit dissembler of Russian disinformation. Your defeat is a matter of National Security. We seek to expel you from public life and to disgrace you. Our goal is to make a lesson of you; to humiliate and Embarrass you. We have every confidence that we will succeed.-Steve Schmidt

“To reiterate: If there was any serious notion Biden can take over and just move on without probing and prosecuting Trump’s criminality and corruption, that’s over now. America needs an aggressive AG committed to justice. It’s the only way healing is possible.”-Steven Beschloss
“STOP dismissing Gohmert’s suit to have Pence overturn the election as “far-fetched.” It’s sedition. Gohmert is guilty of attempted sedition, and should GO TO PRISON for sedition. Stop normalizing treason.”-Steve Silbermann
