Senile and/or bootlicker Republican Senator: Trump is a much better person today than he was then...

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said he thinks President Trump is a “much better person today” than he was in his past, one day after his former longtime lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight counts of fraud and campaign finance violations and implicated the president in a felony.

“Eight years ago to 10 years ago, Trump was not what I consider to be a pillar of virtue,” Hatch, the Senate’s senior Republican member, told The New York Times in an interview published Wednesday. “I think he has changed a lot of his life once he was elected. I think Trump is a much better person today than he was then.”

Really these people have suspended all disbelief at this point or are just lying through their teeth.

Lying through their teeth.

Hatch and others like him hitched their wagon to Trump solely because he was their ticket to power. They know that what he's doing is wrong; if it were a Democrat, they'd probably be clamoring for his head on a pike. They're just trying to buy time until Trump either recovers or falls so far that sticking with him would ruin their careers.

I have a hunch that many GOPers are getting inundated with insane rhetoric about them needing to support Turmp (basically that the Turmpers will drown out the sane rational people who are probably practically in shock and/or have given up trying to get through to politicians like these). And so they will until they have an actual out ("well it turns out he did collude with Russia") so they can ditch him and try to save face. The thing is, I don't think they realize that is not going to get the Turmp supporters to suddenly become sane, its likely going to cause the total opposite. Which is why I think we're seeing a bunch of them deciding that they'll just bow out and let someone else take the brunt of that craziness. So they're keen on enriching themselves while they can and then ride out the insanity. Bet we'll see a bunch of them running again in the future too, and they'll try and resort to the same shit that created the situation. Hopefully sanity and reason will win out, and if they do that they'll be told to kindly fuck off.

Actually he seems to basically just be saying "Turmp didn't act like Republican back then, but he does now, so I like him now". What a ringing endorsement. Way to show that you're turning into a raving shithead as well, Hatch.

Heh, I just so do love to see these top tier class hypocrites squirm like the worms they are. These shitbags have been going far out of their way toward aiding and abetting Trump and his peculiar ability to lie about and dismiss any and all factual allegations against him and now that Trump is having those constant lies of his coming back and swift kicking his sagging nutsack in ways these crooks cannot excuse nor ignore anymore, they've chosen to run away from it all like their asses are on fire.

It sure was fun for them to have Trump signing off on everything they could ever wish for along with those victory celebrations they held with the embarrassing heaping of praises on Trump and the blitzkrieg court appointments they are ramming through the pipe.

And now that the honeymoon orgy they've been having with Trump seems to be waning in light of Trump being increasingly exposed for the lying, dodging criminal that he is, they're flaking. lol

Hatch has a big problem with Trump's unpopularity among Mormons.

Hatch has played his Mormon constituents for fools for nearly 42 years, 7 senate terms. And he'll keep playing them until he retires in January.
