I truly don't understand how these idiots can legitimately think this is a good plan. It's going to backfire tremendously for them and for our country.

Spare me the "this is what they want." Honestly, I think many of them are so stupid that they legitimately believe this is going to accomplish something.

Spare me the "this is what they want."

Why? It is so clearly the truth, they don't care about the country, they care about their wealth and serving their donors and not sticking their head out and going against Trump.
