NRA - She just couldn’t wait 90 days?

This is just what the Republicans need to get Trump reelected. Good grief!

You can hear the GOP spin machine whirring from here. This seems like a waste of time and energy.

I wonder if it’s really to get some kind of dirt on Trump without him and his lawyers blocking everything? Trump and the NRA are both dirty. I bet they are filthy together.

So basically the same reasons that Trump's "charitable" foundation was dissolved. Still unhelpful right now. Or maybe they figure better now than in October? Who knows.

Paired with what most believe defund the police means along with large cities like Seattle starting to report they are reducing their police departments, yes bad timing. Seattle is reporting today they are reducing by up to 100 officers and comments are not happy. Will be interesting to see how this may effect (or affect???) WA governor this year now since it was reported after our primary on Tuesday.

Is she on his payroll too? Guns is what got lots of republicans around here elected. This is not at all helpful. This gives Trump a platform to stand on.

Damn it!!! I think this will absolutely garner more Republicans to get out and vote for Trump.

And I'll just put this out there even though I'm sure I'll no longer be a pea friend after I do. I'm a Republican, but I do not support Trump and really do not want to see him reelected.

I live in rural south Trump country and of the people I know that are like me, republican but not a Trump supporter, any mention against their fabulous guns or NRA will be what pushes them to vote for him again.

I like my guns but hate the NRA. I'd love to see them demolished, just wish they'd go after them when the election was over.

Their trip to Moscow a few years ago was absolutely ridiculous!!!! What private Russian citizens could carry or have guns? It was so obviously a scheme, and the NRA got busted with that. I thought that it really took a lot away from them after that, so I'm not too sure that this will help 45 with re-election. The ONLY thing that could help him is Russia tainting our election (again). 

@river as a Republican, maybe you can talk some sense into your friends. They won't listen to Democrats but maybe hearing from more fellow Republicans who don't like what is going on would help.

Being a Republican does not mean you will no longer be a pea friend, and I am sorry you feel that way. That makes me sad.
I have been a Republican, not registered though, most of my life. I can no longer support the party and there is NO way I will ever support Trump. I was a Bush supporter (both of them) and very clearly remember some very heated discussions about George W on the original pea board and I defended him every way I could. LOL

Those days are long gone. I don't know if there is anything that will ever make me support Republicans again to be honest. They seem to have become the party of hatred, and I can't support that.

The people I have the issues with are those who support Trump, not Republicans in general. I know I am not the only one who feels this way, either.

A lawsuit against a corrupt non profit organization isn't the same as a lawsuit against the 2A itself.

Another group can form to do what the NRA was originally set out to do. And Biden will have opportunities to make it clear that there is a distinction supporting the Second Amendment & supporting corruption in a non profit.

It's a lot earlier than what Comey did to Clinton so there's time to address the distinctions. And it's not going after Trump directly.

Breathe.

If voters are going to re-elect Trump because a state goes after a grifter they were never going to be a reliable anti-Trump voters. They were always going to be looking for the reason to support him, and on Election Day vote for him. Like how studies of Independent voters reveal that the lean Democrats mostly go Democrat, and the lean GOP go GOP. There are fewer truly Independent voters than we think. It's people claiming they are, when they really have their preference. The last 4 years has shown that grifters aren't a deal breaker for the GOP, so what's one more. I don't think this changes the calculus, just forces some people who were wishy-washy to reveal their true intentions sooner.

By being 90 days out, if the polling moves significantly because of this, the Democrats can react to it. Rather than it being an Election Day surprise like with Hillary. They will maybe get bumps in Red states, but those were always going to be Red. The polling this year has shown consistent growth among people who "strongly disapprove Trump." This type of voter is not going to be swayed by going after grifters.

I know people are scared, but once people decide they really don't like something it's hard to get people to change their minds. This year, that includes Trump.

I'm married to a "lost man" Republican who is not a Trump supporter. Do I wish DH was more liberal, more like the guy I dated and married nearly 40 years ago? Hell yes. But I don't mind that he's become conservative. I actually feel sorry for the guy. His party has left him behind and gone all in for a sleezebag. For Donald fucking Trump.

The GOP sold the farm for Donald fucking Trump. Someone who never served his country in any capacity, who demeans those who *do* serve, who blithely takes money from this country and puts it into his own pockets, who has made us the laughingstock of every decent country on the planet, who openly admires despots and tyrants, who doesn't even give a shit that we all know he doesn't give a shit that a thousand of us a day are dying because he's a lying imbecile.

"It is what it is." And the GOP, by just doing the bare minimum at their job during the Impeachment, could have let the Democrats stop it and have them take the blame. The Dems would have admirably weathered the Trump Tweetstorms that the GOP so obviously fears.
