Republicans in congress are getting their life boats ready.

They will not go down with the Trump ship. They will save themselves. What Trump just did in Syria got their attention. When the Democrats start their investigations and the Mueller report comes out everything will change. Trump will become pure poison to them.

They’re just like trump. They’ll do whatever benefits them personally. If they think it’s no good for their own ambitions to stand with trump any longer, they’ll flip. So far, they’re trying hard to ignore reality, but they might have to face it soon enough.

Denial runs REALLY deep. Marianas Trench deep. The deeper it is, the harder it is to climb out of.

Mitch McConnell will lead the way.

It's too late for them to save themselves. They cannot erase their blind support after the fact with a last minute exit.

Plus, those who were most in Trump's pocket, the deranged defenders like Nunes, et al, I do not think were doing it for the benefit of this vile president. I think many of them fought so absurdly hard, in such a buffoonish manner, because they also are in danger of prosecution if everything is exposed.
