Former Defense Secretary William Cohen told CNN that Trump will 'continue to snap the whip whether he is in office or out of office.'

more than 100 Republicans may also challenge the Congressional certification of the result.

Ex-Senator William Cohen pictured in 2019 in Washington, DC. He told CNN that he fears Senators backing President Donald Trump's election fraud claims will be held hostage by him in future."Senator Hawley wants to be the first out of the box to say 'I'm the new Trump,'" Cohen said. "I think it is just shameful that the senator is going to do this and those senators who are lining up to support Senator Hawley, they have to understand—they are going to have to keep doing it over and over again, whenever the ringmaster cracks the whip."

"For Trump it is pathological, for those who are jumping up to support him, it's diabolical and I don't think it's diabolically clever."I think they will find they will be hostage for the rest of their time in the Senate and going forward if they are only there to appease the Trumpsters."

And they’re just realizing this now. smh...

I think Mr. Brennan knows what he's talking about.

SHIT!

'He is always going to up the ante, he cannot be satisfied. There's nothing in him. There's no moral core and so they are going to be extorted or bribed in order to avoid a primary in 2022 or 2024.'

American Progressive Party?

At last!!!!!!

Let those MAGA idiots form a new party. This is what you get when you let the Tea Party morons identify as republicans. The Dems are also dealing with the same thing with “progressives”. Cut out every fox in the hen house and have more than two parties. The people will decide.

Well said

Good idea! You can call it the failure party

I disagree. Change was brought forth within the party, such as the Tea party, or recently discussed Patriot party. Same in the Democratic party, 'progressive's Social Democrats. To create a new party is to divide, weakening the voice to the general population.

He is right Folks, Mr Trump will likely Run as independent Candidates to retaliate all what he thought was wrong about everything.Remember that he has a huge followers about 75 Million People that Voted for him. He will cost trouble to both Republicans and Democratic if provoke.

I can see it happening. The US is overdue for a large party shift and realignment. Any such split will however result in the Democrats dominating the elections for decades.

Trump didn't take GOP hostage. He just showed what are real problems that GOP voters concerned with. They aren't chemical weapons in Iraq.

Trump will be irrelevant in 20 days

Too late, all Republicans are Trump.

I've heard tell that Whigs are back in fashion 🤔😉

Don't these cretins realise yet that we repudiate the GOP with the same vigour as we do the Dems?

Who ever is funding riots in America, can they be considered sponsors of terrorism?

Beats being a corrupt hostage to China, Iran, the deep state, and far left.

The GOP is dead. Stabbed with an oompa loompa's black eye, shot through the ear with a hate song, the very pin of his heartless cleft with the blind proud-boy’s butt shaft. ShakespeareParaphrase Tragedy 25thAmendmentNow TrumpLies

They have formed a new party. It's called the Democratic Party. What we NEED is a major progressive party to represent the 99%.

No Senator Trump's beach....

So dumb! Trump isn’t even a conservative
