This is kind of hilarious:

“If we’re going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker,” the unnamed Republican Congressman we’ll call “Rep. X,” supposedly said to Erickson.

Erickson says Rep. X continued his rant, saying, “dammit he’s taking us all down with him. We are well and truly f**ked in November. Kevin [McCarthy] is already circling like a green fly circling sh*t trying to take Paul’s [Ryan] job because nobody thinks he’s sticking around for Nancy [Pelosi]. She’s going to f**k up the cafeteria again too. [Lord’s name in vain], at least I’ll probably lose too and won’t have to put up with that sh*t.”

“It’s like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking stupid Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just a f**king idiot who thinks he’s winning when people are b*tching about him. He really does see the world as ratings and attention. I hate Forrest Gump.”

The House Judiciary Committee “just might pull the trigger if the President fires Mueller,” Rep. X supposedly said. “The sh*t will hit the fan if that happens and I’d vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the Democrats would and you only need a majority in the House. If we’re going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker. Take him out with us and let Mike [Pence] take over. At least then we could sleep well at night.”

Rep. X calls Vice President Pence “competent.”

“I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this,” Rep. X tells Erickson. Erickson describes the Congressman as someone who defends Trump on Fox News and in public but obviously has a different personal opinion. The media and Democrats on Capitol Hill often say many Republican lawmakers oppose Trump in private, but won’t in public. (There are several words for that.)

“But honestly, I wish the motherf*cker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us, sh*ts all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.”
 
Too bad Rep. X just doesn't grow a dick and say that publicly. If you are going to lose anyway, why keep defending him? Maybe the voters would actually appreciate a little honesty?

You assume that isn't entirely made up. I'd put the odds at 70-30 it is fake.
 
Obvious fiction.

As far as Republicans election outlooks, the anti-Trump swamprats are the only ones in danger of losing.

Draining the swamp as promised.

You ain't in Egypt so why do you continue to live in De Nile? Were you the fool Trump was referring to when he stated he could murder someone in New York and get away with it? What would it take for you to ever say anything negative about Trunp? If he lied would you admit it?

Dude, @MARIS61 just got exactly the reaction he was looking for. You walked right into it.....

He gets plenty of reactions, but not convinced these are the type of responses he wants though. He is so far sunk into Trumps lap it's disgusting. Slurp slurp.

And we have more than a few folks here who are sunk into Hillary’s lap. Slurp, slurp. I’m a heterosexual but I find that at least as disgusting. The American public lost either way. It was six of one, half dozen of another. I’m flabbergasted that so many folks still don’t get that......

Maybe because it isn't and wasn't true. To say that Hillary and Trump are equals is to close your eyes to everything that we've learned since the election.

I can understand why people don't like Hillary, don't think she's honest, don't want her as president or even dogcatcher.

I don't understand how anyone could think she and Trump are equally corrupt, equally incompetent, equally treasonous, equally amoral.

And I’m not sure how anyone could think they aren’t. I think there’s plenty of evidence to show that they are basically fraternal twins separated at birth.

Hillary is irrelevant as she isn't in politics anymore. Trump is my only concern. Why is it when someone speaks out against Trump some of you try and deflect to Hilary Clinton?

Damn! That was pretty good. I find no need to expand.

Because unfortunately Hillary really ISN’T irrelevant. And because Hillary was just as dirty and immoral as Trump. She’s been deified by the left to an embarrassing extreme as some kind of a martyr. Please don’t misunderstand me. I am basically a moderate who slightly leans to the left. And I loathe Donald Trump. But Hillary is just as big a shit stain on society as Donny, and it’s a stain that will linger and taint American culture for a long time.

So you agree with him that Trump is just as bad as Hillary?

What is it exactly that offends you the most about her? What is the one thing she did that is the worst, in your view?

It's possible to dislike both....as UCD said...Trump was Hillary's gift to the right wing...

She cheated to win against Bernie Sanders...that wasn't cool...it cost her the election in the end

She played by the party rules, which were set up to favor the party choice, which happened to be her. Wasserman-Schultz did put her finger on the scales, but that's on her and the party, not Hillary. Donna Brazile did leak a debate question, but that's on her, not Hillary (and didn't really affect the outcome).

Her sense of entitlement, as though she was designated by God to be president. Her hijacking of the DNC. Her shady business deals. Her disdain for the law (also see Trump, Donald). Her track record as Secretary of State. Her arrogance (again, see Trump, Donald). The slimy and unethical ways in which she enriched herself and her husband. Her refusal to accept her defeat in the last election, regardless of it’s actual (and unfortunate) legitimacy. The list goes on. She does not represent my values any better than Trump, and in some ways even less so. I just don’t understand why so many people give her a free pass while holding other politicians to higher standards.

And if you think Hillary wasn’t involved deeply in either example I have a bridge to sell you....

She was definitely held to a much higher standard than Trump was, so let's just not go there.

Not a real high bar but....you’re right. I’ve pretty much moved on.....or so I like to tell myself. It is what it is and we just have to deal with it.

There is no bigger scum in our country than Donald Trump.

Bull Shit!
After her piss poor performance with Benghazi and out right lies to the American people after. Clinton was simply unacceptable as Commander in Chief.

Are there any presidential candidates that don't have a rather high opinion of themselves?
I guess I don't see her sense of entitlement as anything larger than, say, Mitt Romney's or John Kerry's, or Al Gore's, etc.
But these are just our opinions - there's no actual way to know what she or any other candidate truly believes.

Her hijacking of the DNC.

There is something to object to there, but I believe she hijacked it according to party rules.

Her shady business deals. Her disdain for the law (also see Trump, Donald).

I believe those were investigated at great length and there was no there there found. I know that Trump hasn't been charged with a crime yet either, but which one do you honestly think is more likely to happen?

Her track record as Secretary of State.

This is in my view a legitimate area to base an objection, however do you really think it is equal or worse than Trump's track record as president?

Her arrogance (again, see Trump, Donald). The slimy and unethical ways in which she enriched herself and her husband.

I think these have been addressed above.

Her refusal to accept her defeat in the last election, regardless of it’s actual (and unfortunate) legitimacy.

This is just nonsense - she accepted defeat, and called Trump to congratulate him. She attended his inauguration, for gods sake.

The list goes on. She does not represent my values any better than Trump, and in some ways even less so. I just don’t understand why so many people give her a free pass while holding other politicians to higher standards.

Does Scott Pruitt represent your values? Do you think she would have appointed someone as venal as Pruitt? 100 other examples etc etc.
