I don't get it. We say we want repubs to stand up to Trump, but when they do...

57. While acknowledging it's gratifying to see some elected

Republicans turning against Trump, it's also only logical to take into consideration why they didn't stand up to him earlier, and their motivation behind doing so now.

I am skeptical that the majority of them are doing it because they suddenly realized he is the epitome of evil, they had to know that before. As a pundit pointed out they see his poll numbers slipping astronomically, and see Democrats winning in places Democrats have rarely if ever won. They only have the "courage," to stand up to him now because he is weaker, and they think it will save themselves politically if they appear to oppose tsf.

I was also always taught that you do the right thing to do because it's the right thing to do not because you want credit for it. I will give Massie credit because his opposition to tsf seems to have been consistently and genuinely anti DT. The rest are just like rats trying to scurry of a sinking ship at the last minute so they don't go down with it.
