This is an election year and Republicans are acting "moderate" again.

They may even pretend that they are going against their President?

But do not be fooled. They are playing politics.

As soon as Trump needs them, they will be there for him.

They see the polls. They hear the voices back home. They have to change their rhetoric to meet the times. But they are not changing their politics.

They support Donald Trump 100%. You will know them by their silence.

If there are a few with any remaining principles, they are resigning or retiring from politics. But they are few and far between.
