This is all perfectly normal:

Senate Republicans are attempting to dissuade President Trump from holding another summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin anytime soon.

Many GOP senators regard Trump’s meeting with the Russian leader in Helsinki earlier this week as a political disaster. Congressional Republicans have since come under intense pressure to renounce the president’s embrace of Putin on the world stage, particularly his apparent acceptance of Putin’s denial that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

When asked about the possibility of a second summit, Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (Texas) hung his head and quipped, “maybe in a year or two.”

The body language of other GOP senators was equally telling.

“I don’t have anything to say about that today,” said Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.), another member of the GOP leadership, lowering his eyes and shaking his head.

The Democrats weren’t even this embarrassed when they learned that Bill Clinton had, in fact, had sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky. That was immeasurably more defensible behavior than what we’ve been seeing from Donald Trump.

The idea that any Republican up for reelection this November deserves another term in office while this problem remains unaddressed is ludicrous.

1. This is not actually true

Republicans love him.

2. We Agree A Lot But..

...this time I think as more gets known it's just the 3 in 11 who stick with it!

7. You'd think many Republicans in Congress would speak out against Trump then

Wouldn't it help their chances of getting re-elected to stand with the 8 in 11 instead of the 3?

3. I met a woman today

who told me she loves to listen to Rush Limbaugh.

They still walk among us ...

4. Actually I'd say they're more in denial.

Trump could seriously run people over with his car, recreate the pee tape, give Alaska back to Russia, and invade Cuba, and his supporters would be screaming "thank you sir, may I have another!!!".

5. I do not believe that to be the case.

They love him.

6. Most of them hated him prior to the election.

I think they're just enamored with how he's increased their bank accounts.

8. I'm ashamed of Republicans

They have all proven through word, action and deed that their loyalties lie to self and party come before country. They are the sebaceous cyst of Democracy and I welcome the day their crimes come to a head and pops.

9. Their shame is like

Their thoughts and prayers. Empty and meaningless.
