This in my opinion was Trump's biggest mistake: Not firing everyone not loyal to MAGA on day 1 of his Presidency.

He should have cleaned house, top to bottom.

100 percent this. He trusted snakes like Preibus, Pence, and only God knows why that fat peice of shit Chris Christie as far as staffing goes.

And for every one he thought was MAGA, but proved they weren't... should have fired them on the spot and replaced them with someone that was.

I suspect Kushner was behind a lot of bad decisions that happened.

You would be wrong.

The bad decisions were all GOP.

Trump thought he could appeal to their loyalty to the USA. He didn't realize they are loyal to China.

I wouldn't ever say the GOP is 100% responsible for everything. I even think Pres. Trump himself made some mistakes or bad calls. But as I said, I suspect Kushner greatly. You're not going to convince me that the GOP is the sole cause behind these bad tidings.

Think about it what you just wrote and please realize how stupid it is.

They literally impeached Trump twice for NOTHING.

They would have impeached him for that too. Hell, they almost impeached GWB for mass layoffs at at the DOJ -- the media made it a HUGE "scandal" that was taking over his entire presidency -- only 9/11 stopped it from going forward.

It's important people understand from the beginning TRUMP did not having backing from republicans in congress. They allowed the Russia hoax as a way to control TRUMP with the threat of impeachment. Republicans didn't support the 1 impeachment because they knew they needed TRUMP to get re-elected in 2020.

It looks like McConnell is making a deal to impeach TRUMP in exchange for democrats keeping the filibuster. Mitch like Ryan would be willing to sacrifice the party for power.

This is a simple reality people need to understand going forward regarding making a choice to start a new party or take back the GOP. Of course if they do impeach TRUMP the choice will be clear.

But what is to gain? Trump is no longer a sitting President.

If.. they do impeach him (as in the Senate), it won't do shit... he is already out of office.

McConnell is probable done after 6 years so he's in it IMO just for $$$. The other R's who go along with McConnell are of the mindset that R's will vote for rinos as the lesser of 2 evils, so they work on trying to flip moderate D's. They think voting for impeachment will give them better standing with D's and the MSM.

This is why I lean more towards starting a new party because I haven't heard a realistic solution to on how to deal with the rinos who hold power over the GOP.

100%

Despite his many winnings, he failed on his promise to drain the swamp.

Easier said than done. Do y’all not remember how long it took Congress - red on both sides at the time - to confirm every single position he put someone up for? And some of the early ones weren’t even anti deep state. Only chance we had to help him actually clean house full on was in term 2 because there had to be MAGA senators and reps put in. RINOs got flushed out in 2018 but replaced by dems. MAGA cycle was a 2020 move that wouldve happened without the cheating
