QOTD: Sean Hannity
by digby
On Scalia’s seat:
SEAN HANNITY: I’m just going to say it straight up. If the Republican Party breaks here, if they capitulate, if they go wobbly, if their spines crumble like usual, I’m done with you people. Done. I’m finished. I want nothing to do with you, because you are no good to any conservative in this country. You didn’t repeal and replace Obamacare, you won’t stand up to a lawless president on executive amnesty, and now if you’re not going to fight against something that hasn’t been done in 80 years, you are useless and pathetic and you all need to go. Only those that will capitulate. So I want our side to be, you better be ready all you senators in Washington for the onslaught.
McConnell’s instantaneous declaration happened because he knew his base.
So does Sean Hannity.
(So should anyone who harbors some fantasy that “the establishment” is going to save the party by pushing out Trump or Cruz and installing Paul Ryan or Mitt Romney as the nominee. There will be a full blown armed revolution if anyone tries that.)
