Via @stevebenen:

Quite a quote from Eric Swalwell on the parade of GOP members attending #TrumpTrial this morning:

“I don’t think that anything could animate the phrase ‘do-nothing Congress’ more than missing votes and canceling hearings to go up and be a spectator at your cult leader’s trial.”

@GottaLaff @stevebenen The matching ties were the awful icing on the cake. But you know what? Not a single one of those toadies actually believes a word of those speeches they memorized.

Nor do they believe it gets them closer to being Trump's running mate, They know *exactly* what Trump is and how he operates. They just don't have someone like Michael Cohen's father to smack some sense into them.
