What will the GOP House and Senate do?

Walker, an early Greitens supporter, called for him to resign in the days after the allegations surfaced. He renewed those calls Thursday when asked whether the House should pursue impeachment.
“I called for him to step down three weeks ago because I thought this was going to happen. … My understanding was he was led off in handcuffs and that’s not a good sign for our executive of the state of Missouri,” Walker said. “He should resign.”
Rep. Kevin Corlew, a Kansas City Republican, joined the growing chorus of GOP lawmakers who want the governor to step down Thursday evening.
“In the wake of the grand jury criminal indictment, and with legal proceedings to come, I cannot see how he could effectively perform the duties of his office, let alone to lead with the kind of moral authority needed to make a positive impact,” Corlew said in a Facebook post. “For the good of our state and the ideals we stand for, I believe that Governor Geitens should resign.”
Sen. Caleb Rowden, a Columbia Republican, said on Twitter that he was “disgusted to learn” that the grand jury found sufficient evidence to indict the governor and called on resign immediately for “sake of our state.”

Probably easier for him to hold on with a little duct tape.FangKC wrote:How Long Can Eric Greitens Hold On?

Is this a different story (and woman) than the story around the illicit photographs he allegedly used to blackmail a woman to keep her quiet?shinatoo wrote:Why is no one saying "Rape". Every news report is saying things like "forced non-consensual sex" and "Unwilling sexual encounter". It's Rape. He is being accused of rape.
Absolutely, I'm sure Trump is wondering why he didn't think of political advertisements like these.mean wrote:So he maybe took some pictures, did some rapey things, possibly blackmailed a woman and also could have engaged in felony tampering to solicit campaign donations. Sounds downright presidential to me.

To be honest, the guy sounds worse than a creep, more like a borderline psychopath: http://www.stltoday.com/phone-call-betw ... ea9ef.htmlFangKC wrote:And then there is this:Highlander wrote:Absolutely, I'm sure Trump is wondering why he didn't think of political advertisements like these.mean wrote:So he maybe took some pictures, did some rapey things, possibly blackmailed a woman and also could have engaged in felony tampering to solicit campaign donations.

That's a function of extreme partisan politics. My memory may not be that great when it comes to politics but it seems like that is a relatively recent phenomena. A Trump or Greitens 30 year years ago would have almost no support.grovester wrote:35% of Americans will support whoever is on their team. It's all about "winning".
