I was about to say that there has to be at least some old timey goppers incredibly angry at this mess (I mean, it's fucking Russia), but maybe they are not that angry after all given the aparent lack of opposition.
Still, I expect some long knives if Trump's campaign gets crushed. There should be a reckoning.

They exist, but the problem is that the only ones willing to speak out are the ones that don't have anything to lose from not towing the line.

Are most towing the line up for election this year?

Fucking GOP. Shameful.
Let the stupid email shit go.
They've been investigating #BENGHAZI for four years now, if Hillary wins the election you know they're going to be bringing the emails every chance they get.
why would they? Emails and benghazi is about all the ammo they have that people care about atm against clinton.
These people's jobs are to run the government, not to run a thinly veiled campaign for Trump. Give their support? Ok, sure, go ahead. But more investigations of Clinton's email usage, they don't have anything better to do?
This system is so flawed like holy shit. You can lock down the entire nation if you want to, you can refuse to listen to a Supreme Court judge candidate, you can block an investigation into a POTUS candidate's shady connections.
Are all political systems as flawed but the parties just aren't as rotten as the GOP to use those loop holes or what is going on over there?

I mean the guy who was supposed to replace Boehner basically tanked that when he flat out admitted the Benghazi thing was meant to ruin Clinton's chances in the election.
So is the Senate 'GOP' ? and has it ever been so worthless as it has been since Obama took office ?
How can you run a country like that, it must have worked before...or is this one of those written in blood American systems you dare not change for the better or you're some enemy of the state?

How's this guy doing, anyway?
Yeah it makes no sense. Someone wrote a satirical petition arguing the fact the GOP or NRA conference were gun free, he felt unsafe. A lot of ammosexuals saw the petition as a way to get their address instead of show their hypocrisy. They are too far gone
Southern racists (the core of the GOP) have always been that way. They just control the GOP now so this is what you get.
Never forget Strom Thurmond's 24+ hour filibuster of the Civill Rights Act.

They'd let this country burn to the ground if they could govern it's ashes.
They don't care about the American people at all. Fucking scumbag, shitshow of a party, and anyone who supports them is worse.

Witch hunts just increase her support level since they're so transparently partisan.

Please kick out the GOP Americans.
Well, since we elected our first black president, the GOP members of congress have been obstructionist at a level not seen in our lifetimes. It mostly worked before, though the division has been steadily increasing since the Civil Rights Act, when the most racist Democrats decided to switch parties.
Not to be funny but capitalism doesn't really care about people, certainly not in its modern zealous form spearheaded by America, so what did you expect from the nation that birthed modern capitalism and its leaders? Everyone goes on about personal responsibility, looking after number one and your own before others is Republicans motto it seems, very little about truly looking after others. This is where it leads.
I'll take Littlefinger over these clowns.
Just for clarification, in case any non-Americans out there are confused:
GOP = "Grand Old Party", another name for the Republican Party.
The Republicans currently have enough seats to control the Senate, which is why everyone is referring to Senate 'GOP'.

I'll be honest
I wish Democrats had this kind of 'Tow the line'. When they tried throwing Obama down the bus in 2012, it was baaaad.

I think it's time that we as a country face it:
There's nothing wrong with having a conservative party. The equilibrium of our country's politics depends on having a strong, major conservative party.
But that party is not the Republican Party. The Republican Party is irredeemable, and actively harmful to the functioning of our government.
I'm starting to wonder how possible it is for us to truly move forward until that party faces a reckoning.
