President Donald Trump’s grip on his party was evident Tuesday evening, as only four Republicans were willing to break with the pack and vote in favor of a resolution condemning him for his racist comments.
Reps. Fred Upton (R-MI), Susan Brooks (R-IN), Will Hurd (R-TX) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) joined the Democrats on the vote.
According to Politico, some of their Republican peers who publicly disavowed Trump’s remarks, like Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-MI), still voted against the resolution.
“The resolution is a partisan effort that doesn’t move the ball forward,” Mitchell said. “If we’re gonna deal with things that people are saying, than we ought to deal with it on both sides of the aisle.”
Ya think about it

So now there are bad people on both sides?
““The resolution is a partisan effort that doesn’t move the ball forward,” Mitchell said. “If we’re gonna deal with things that people are saying, than we ought to deal with it on both sides of the aisle.””
How about you start to deal with by condemning the leader of the country’s outrageous remarks? It’s only partisan because you spineless Republican wimps either are scared to call Trump on his racist language, or you agree with it.
That’s a possible interpretation; but I would ask: Well, then, Mr. Mitchell, what would you suggest as a next step?
The Republican members have voted out of self preservation. They are terrified of Trump. I am terrified of Trump. They cannot reason with Trump’s base. We cannot reason with Trump’s base, it is futile in my opinion, to try.
Do you see? We have something in common after all. Join me at the polls in every election up to and including November 2020. I am begging you.
