Corruption of the Faustian Bargain, via @mollyesque — for Wisconsin’s @LeahVukmir, Trump’s corruption and a pipeline of US secrets running from the White House to the Kremlin are a small price to pay for his ignorance and racism. @SykesCharlie is quoted. time.com/5443238/leah-v…
Let’s just do a <thread> for Republican candidates around the country enraptured by Trump and eager to follow his example. Like Brian Kemp in Georgia: making up stuff right before the election. @politicalinsidr sums this one up well. politics.myajc.com/blog/politics/…
Here’s Josh Hawley in Missouri, known for his role in a Trump lawsuit to have Obamacare & its protections for people with pre-existing conditions thrown out, using campaign consultants to run his state office & prepare a Senate candidacy. By @J_Hancock kansascity.com/news/politics-…
Let's continue the Trumper honor roll. Rep. Chris Collins of Upstate New York, the first Congressman to endorse Trump for President, is now under indictment for insider trading. He faces eleven felony counts, according to @EricCortellessa washingtonmonthly.com/2018/11/05/for…
Here's Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), the second Congressman to endorse Trump, indicted on charges of stealing funds donated to his campaign. Hunter is trying to hold onto his seat by running a virulent, Trumplike anti-Muslim campaign, says @mckaycoppins theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
We shouldn't forget Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), leading House obstructor of Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian help to Trump. Not indicted as of yet, Nunes like Trump appears mostly before supporters, even closing his district offices, per @timkmak npr.org/2018/10/29/660…
Republican candidates around the country have embraced everything about Trump. We shouldn't be surprised if the ones who lose close elections tomorrow do what @SykesCharlie correctly says he would do, and contest the result.
