Politicians are a lot like surfers. When their party is in power/control, they ride the wave, mostly in silence. It is not until the wave dies and they are back dead in the water, that you see and hear them yelling and splashing around. We see it with the Democrats now because there is a Republican President but it was only a few years ago when it was the Republicans screaming and hollering. That’s when you heard Tom Cotton, Senator from Arkansas, talking big against the political opposition, it even went as far as the Republican Convention, Tom Cotton walked out when Trump received the Republican nomination. He was furious, irate, how could the Republican party nominate such a candidate? Why so silent now Tom Cotton, especially now, since your opposition is the head of your party? Well, at least he is a Republican, am I right? If you can't beat him, join him.
Is it just normal for the underlings of the party in charge to silently and obediently get in line behind their leader, no matter if they disagree with everything that person stands for? The Republican bottom feeders have their heads so far up President Trump’s ass right now Tom Cotton could tell you what Trump had for breakfast. The Democrat bottom feeders are no different, when Obama was Commander In Chief, he could do no wrong in their eyes. “Obama, did you have hot links and Cheetos for lunch and wash it down with a cold Mountain Dew?” “ I sure did Joe.”
Look at the Trump impeachment vote in the House and Senate, look how polar opposite the party line votes were, with the Democrats voting “Yes” for impeachment with practically all the Republicans voting “No”. There had to have been several Democrats who thought internally, “No way this will fly. There is not enough evidence to impeach the President, this is a waste of time.” Some had to have thought it, but none of them said it, loud enough to where everyone heard. How can anyone be surprised that the vast majority of Republicans did not vote “Yes” for impeachment, when none of the Democrats voted “No”? Why has the moderate voice disappeared from both parties? When was the last time politicians voted against giving themselves a raise or voting for decreasing their wages? I guarantee that America would have heard a lot more Republican criticism of Trump, if they had nothing to lose. If the bottom feeders could not become career politicians, America would have a lot more honesty in office.
Trump campaigned on draining the political swamp and then he just added to it, so far I believe five of his associates have been arrested, with Roger Stone being the most recent. Did this not disturb any Republican? The swamp would naturally drain if politicians could only be elected one time. If that state or district wanted to keep electing Republicans so be it but the current of politics would be constant and would never become stagnant for so long to form a swamp. Tom Cotton, why are you so silent? Tom and the Republicans are surfing that wave, riding high in silence but just like a sin wave, what goes up must come down. Then finally, America will see a Republican who may or may not be running for president criticize Trump's leadership constructively, America will be like where have you been for the last eight years of Trump? One man’s Obama is another man’s Trump and the Democrats are getting a taste of what Republicans were eating for eight years with Obama. After Trump, is America going to realize that this polarization of politics just maybe, might not be healthy?
