Speaking of Trump, and GOP politicians in general...

Is there a ranking whereby one can know how these various terms can be seen as they relate to GOP support for Trump?

We have all seen/read Susan Collins express her concern about one or more of Trump's actions. This expressed concern never prevents Collins from supporting Trump, but it makes her sound somewhat sane.

And then we have reports that some GOP politicians are severely concerned. And that too sounds nice, until we realize that these severely concerned GOP cowards are almost never named.

No matter how one ranks these expressions of concern, the fact remains that the GOP marches in virtual lockstep with Trump.

When the President is clearly a lunatic, and unfit for office, as happened during Reagan's second term, and as is the case right now, all we need to know about the GOP is that the leaders of the Party will never admit the obvious.
