You'd think they'd realize that if they dump him, they get Pence...and Pence is basically their dream guy.
Surprised McCain, Collins and Graham haven't jumped ship at this stage...neither of them have anything to lose.

(82,849 posts)We've been told several times that the Trump agenda is the Republican agenda, there's no daylight between the President and one political party. Every now and then, a Republican will rear up on his hind legs and kick at the air a couple of times, but he'll be back on all fours soon enough, head down and docile.

They spent the last six months or so not fighting among themselves but that can't last much longer. Each side thinks they can turn Chump to their advantage but both can't be true. Each side will be outraged every time their So Called President doesn't do exactly what they want him to do.
Their civil war has had a ceasefire, but it is ending. We will need to see how the next battlefield shapes up before we can make any strong predictions. Lets see where we are after the summer break. If we keep up the pressure on town halls and other meetings from members of Congress, it should make for a very interesting autumn.

(13,421 posts)If they go after 45, the backlash from the deplorables will be ugly. They probably do not want to deal with that or the likely primary challenges and losses. The Republican base loves their new president more than they love any of their members of Congress.

(63,849 posts)Treasonous Mc Connell and Ryan say the GOP agenda is the trump agenda. Fcuk them.
Also we will see what 45 says tonight it always about him, he's a con man. Period.

(11,101 posts)Even if the hardcore Trump supporters are only 30 or 40% of Republicans they can't risk alienating them in places where it's tight. If his numbers drop among Republicans then you'll see them turn on him, bigly.

(7,800 posts)His horrible poll numbers are going to tank the whole party. They'll be turning on him and cutting him loose within a few
months, I would suspect.

Soon as they start getting sucked in, the rest of them will turn.
