They just want their little manchurian candidate to sign what they put in front of him. Other than that, they don't care what he does.

Just as Bush Jr. and Reagan were tools to be used by the 1% who actually run the country.

10. Republicans have an agenda, including a Supreme Court nominee, that Trump can deliver.

Therefore, Republicans will continue their posture of willful ignorance as long as Trump is valuable to them as their useful idiot. Can you actually say that you are surprised by that ?

12. They don't CARE. He's a just battering ram against progress for them.

Those that claim to be Christian call Trump "God's Tool" for them to bring about their hoped-for Armageddon.
White Supremacists, Birchers, and those that claim to be fiscal conservatives/trickle down types just call him a useful idiot. They want him to lock down the Federal Government so they can rebuild it the way they want it to be and re-write over 250 years of history and progress.
Organized Crime members - home-grown and foreign - call him a patsy.

If he keels over tomorrow, they'll just be happy they can appoint another useful tool to steal from normal, law-abiding taxpayers that actually work for a living, and to drag the U.S. into third world status so they can just gorge themselves from the economic trough.
They're all just short-sighted greedy fools.

...they will go down in flames before they admit that they were conned into electing a stark raving madman. The ones I know are digging in; they are simply too invested in their self-perceived superior judgment.

I am curious what will happen when he begins to really ramp up the devastation on the ACA, SS, Medicare, Medicaid. Then a few of them might wake the hell up. That remains to be seen.
