Be careful what you wish for...

Donald Trump has always had the capacity for self-destruction. Republicans are hoping and betting that their chosen one can make it thru another year and a half wirhout any major explosion. It is very likely there will be several damaging stories in the next several months, and some may be charges of criminality?

Republicans are likely to be in damage control mode for the rest of Trump's
term. Impeachment could look like a favorable option before the next election. They have chosen to defend him at all costs.

And it could be very costly for them. If his poll ratings go much lower, it could have a major impact in the next election. They could lose several seats in the Senate and a few more in House. If the Democrats take back the Presidency, it is possible that Republicans could find themselves in a long-term minority.
