‘We’re not going to turn on our own’: Republicans rally around Trump as threats mount

When President Trump’s longtime fixer Michael Cohen testified last week that his former boss was a “racist” and “con man” who routinely skirts the law, Republicans showed little interest in following up on his claims.

They shrugged when Trump called murderous dictator Kim Jong Un a “real leader” and once again elevated the North Korean leader on the world stage.

And faced with a vote on Trump’s legally contested declaration of a national emergency at the Mexican border, just 13 of 197 House Republicans opposed him.

Acquiescence to Trump is now the defining trait of the Republican Party more than two years into his presidency — overwhelming and at times erasing principles that conservatives viewed as the foundation of the party for more than a half century.

1. Keep it up please. trump helpped us in 2018 and will again in 2020.

2. There is no acquiescence to Trump. Trump is the PRODUCT of the Conservative movement.

Do you think Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Mike Pence, Scott Walker or any of the other 2016 R's would be better?

Trump is the Republican Party they designed.
