Are there no consequences for supporting the criminal acts of Donald Trump?

Can these Republican Senators stand behind Trump and not suffer in the next election? Their silence seems to indicate that they believe they can. So long as they can hide behind the lies, they feel fairly secure.

They cannot escape complicity even if they escape any punishment. They know what they are supporting. They are fooling no one, except the base they need to maintain their seats.

If you, as a Senator, do not speak out about the illegal and unconstitutional actions in Ukraine, then you are a part of it. The voters should make you pay the ultimate price for a professional politician. They should send them home to find a new profession.

But, will the voters ever be that enlightened?

Of course some voters are sad but too bad for them.

The most obtuse are that way because they know they are immune to any political outcome.
