Did we ever really think that Republicans would finally say: "Okay, that's enough, he's got to go. He's a danger to us all?’’

It was never going to happen, and it will never happen, no matter what he does to destroy the freedoms of the ‘Land of the Free’, because for them, there is no bottom. No crimes are considered too egregious. We have zero evidence of decency or ethics or duty. Nothing but corruption and cowardice and clinging to a crumbling edifice of a dying power.

The rot encompasses the entire of the Republican Party. Did we ever really think that they would behave any other way?

his encroachment on their congressional powers and resist in some manner. Apparently they don't even care about that.

If we includes me or any number of people I know or encounter online or in the real world, then no "we", never, ever for a single solitary minute, probably since the mid 2000's ever thought we could work with Republicans or that they would ever, EVER do the right thing.

If by "we" you mean the Democratic party and most of the people who run and control it, my fear is that they STILL seem to believe this and are holding out hope for that mythical "good Republican" who will do the right thing. Just like that "we" chose to hang our health care, and Supreme Court hopes on "good Republicans" like Collins, Snowe, Murkowski and whoever the fuck else while the rest of us were screaming at the top of our lungs that it would never work and we'd be worse off for that approach.

while the focus is all on trump. GOP has ZERO reasons to do anything about trump until to prognosis of huge losses in 2020 elections at federal, state and local levels similar to 2018 becomes 100% apparent BECAUSE of trump

And enough Republican legislators that want to keep their jobs might be forced to do their constitutionally mandated job to remove Trump from office for his high crimes and misdemeanors.
