2. Hard to see how this could possibly work for them in the long-term.

The washing off of the stench of 'party of country' will take a hell of a lot of scrubbing, possibly a party name change, or perhaps a party collapse. Short term they will try to get through any and everything they can as they waiver from extreme confidence/arrogance (while ignoring that deep dread inside) to slightly alarmed at the lack of public support/adoration in the wake of their significant election wins. Long term... they are making history - and not in a good way.

that as long as Traitor Trump signs their bills, they will keep him

5. We all knew that already. Trump will eventually hurt the GOP and they will probably

deny they ever said this.

6. They don't realize that each day they are like the fish...

that rots from the head first.
