Are Republicans crashing and what can Democrats do to take advantage S5E33 03.20.2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today, our question comes from Jordan from Houston, Texas, who writes, I don’t know if this is wishful thinking or an actual collapse of the Trump hold is starting to happen. First MTG turned on Trump and resigned from Congress. The back and forth since then has been ugly, with Trump calling Green a traitor. Many other Republicans decided to retire, and the primaries don’t seem to be going smoothly for them. The Texas Senate between Cornyn and POS Paxton is a prime example. I never thought I would support Cornyn over anyone else, but there we have it. MAGA Moron Extraordinaire Joe Kent has resigned as the Counter Terrorism Director, and in his resignation, totally dismantled all of Trump's excuses for starting the war with Iran. Not the best look. And it looks like Dr. Mark might be getting his wish; things are not looking good for Senator Lindsey Graham in his reelection bid in South Carolina. Bondi is being called in to testify before the House Oversight committee, one controlled by the Republicans, about her handling of the Epstein files. There seems to be some internal arguing about Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security. Gas prices are up by over $ 1 per gallon. More Americans are dying in the Iran war. The rest of the world tells Trump to take a hike. And with the DHS budget still up in the air, travel has become a pain. TSA workers are not being paid and are not showing up to work. And this is the short list. Nothing seems to be breaking the Republicans' way. But Democrats don’t seem to be taking advantage of the situation. So, to my questions, are we seeing the collapse of the Trump regime or just another blip? What can the Democrats do to take advantage of the Republican collapse? Who will emerge from the Democrats to lead the party? Will Dr. Mark get a new Senator? Who might that be? I just saw Venezuela beat Team USA for the World Baseball Classic title. Now that’s some Karma.
