like we're supposed to think they're somewhat reasonable and have their limits because they're willing to stop defending him *off* the record?

if they're still defending him *on* the record, then they haven't changed their position one bit.

their off the record laments and regrets accomplish absolutely nothing.

Perhaps with some significant declines for traitortrump, more 'cons out of self interest, [not the case in the 1944 coup attempt], will tentatively test the waters. Perhaps, some brave souls before then, will openly contest trump?

Word is getting out that tRump is bad on America.

Peel an onion one layer at a time until it sinks in with all of his followers.

It's really getting scary when so many in Congress support an openly criminal mad man as leader of the western world.

Country before party. With the GOP it's now the Country or trump, they seem to know their party is doomed, and only loyalty to trump matters. The actually think he can save them!
