idea of blackmail seems to apply. Remember, Rand Paul used to be outspoken about tRump, until they went golfing together a couple of times. He changed his tune, completely. Then came Graham, same behaviour. There is something going on behind the scenes that we do not know about YET. Too many gop members are lining up to praise their dear leader. Some are praising him, and ready to retire rather than stay in office. Maybe they are finding that kissing his orange arse is hardly worth it? Diminishing themselves in everyone's eyes, including their families is just too difficult to keep up for three more years. Well, that plus the voters are finally wising up?
