Republicans in disarray

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

When CNN asked Republican Senator Ben Sasse about whether Trump should formally concede to President-elect Biden, Sasse said “got nothing for you, man.” No really, that was the quote. At this point the Republicans are in disarray. They’re still afraid to side against Trump, for fear of what’s left of his base. But they’re also afraid to side with Trump at this point, for fear it’ll work against them later on, after Trump finishes flaming out.

There’s no right answer for the Republicans right now when it comes to the Trump question, and they know it, which is why we’re seeing people like Sasse just shrug at the impossible nature of their situation. It won’t get easier for them.

– What’s the difference between Donald Trump and the turkey he just pardoned? The turkey isn’t also facing state charges, so the turkey will still be free by this time next year.
