Republicans fleeing Congress....

Debates


...in record numbers.

Nearly three dozen Republican lawmakers are fleeing the House, and 5 more in the Senate — the most in nearly a century – and Democrats are feeling bullish about their chances of winning back a majority in both houses of Congress.

Rep. Darell Issa (R-CA) became the 35th Republican to announce they will not seek re-election in November, the most GOP retirements since at least 1930 and already one more than the 34 Republicans who left the House during Donald Trump's first term in 2018.

39 GOP lawmakers out, and it's only March. How many more will leave to "spend more time with their families" before November? 😏

Cowards! Abject cowards!! Rather than face down Trump and impeach him, they're running with their tails btw their legs.

Future historians will not be kind to the Cantaloupe Caligula or those who failed (twice) to remove him from office when they had the chance.
