The GOP, almost every single one, has signed up to carry supertankers full of water for Trump and they'll gleefully do it until thier jobs are on the line.

Once Trump drops below the threshold for base support (and he will) they'll bail on him and pretend they were always against the Trump agenda.

They're such bad actors, the hypocrisy will be blatant.
