Then the obvious will be .."obvious" in my opinion. What will the breaking point be?...Who knows?
Let's hope that the point comes with no one hurt. but.....as we have seen, no guarantees on nothing..

If they don't act as if they care about what Trump and Co. are doing, they will look like fools and the sane majority will reject them.
If they act, then the fox news viewing Trumpsters won't vote for them.

They made a deal with the devil, and it is a lose, lose situation.

Also, Ryan is thinking....if there is one tape of me....there might be more.

McConnell's spine only works AGAINST Democrats.

Given that republicans/conservatives hold control over 2 of the 3 branches of government and in very near future will have control of the 3rd branch means trump can do whatever he wants. The only thing that will take trump down is trump himself (which is happening).

Republicans/Conservatives have invested billions and been working toward this goal for decades...they are not going to jeopardize it now. In some sense we are lucky that trump got elected. Had republicans gotten a more rational person like Rubio or Jeb we would be in much bigger trouble.

foaming-at-the-mouth, psychotic break, incoherent screaming and babbling, etc. But after this unprecedented campaign, election and first 100 days I'm not even sure that would finally break the logjam.

I think we as a country need to start holding an intervention for them.

I wouldn't be surprised - at all - if the Russians plied these idiot lawmakers with money, pretty young things both male and female, etc. and recorded all of it. You know, like President Pee Stain.
