    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.

    It could be a creative writing project - Erickson is a anti-Trumper. Don't know what odds I'd put on it.

    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?

    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?

    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?

    Not at all. Being disgusted by the rhetoric dominated the thought.
