38. Only one thing the Hostage GOP Congress cares about: propagandized base

Wed Jul 18, 2018, 08:55 PM

The Hostage Congress cares about two things:
- money from billionaires
- votes from the GOP base

The GOP base is controlled by Fox and Limbaugh.
As long as Fox and Limbaugh are propagandizing for Trump, the GOP Congress will NEVER ditch him.
They are going to put party and power before country. Nothing matters except the base and what Fox says to them.
Look at Mark Sanford - primaried because he opposed Trump. Because Fox lies to Sanford's constituents.
