I think we'll see Republican lawmakers try to distance themselves from Trump as his administration collapses. That's going to be difficult when their base almost unanimously supports Trump.

Republicans own Trump and Trump owns Republicans. Let's not forget this in upcoming elections.

has been released and after the mean spirited and dangerous cuts he wants to do settle in.

Mind you I think too many Republicans depend almost totally on Fox to tell them what to think so it may not drop very much.

If the protect him they could be found to be conspirators to a traitor.

A pleasant choice whichever way to look at it.
