(8,419 posts)McConnell leads the Senate, Ryan is Speaker of the House.
The current Repubs have two choices, run these people out, (they haven't) or break away.
Look at the Senate races last month. Look at the horrible tRump supporting people who won. They had plenty of off ramps, they didn't take them. The House was basically flipped in districts negatively impacted by the tRump tax cuts that screwed high income states.
If they haven't flipped been by all of the horrible things done by tRump then being nice won't do it. The small number available to flip will be flipped by being embarrassed to be a Repub.
Then again, you show me how the racists comprehend how flying the Confederate flag can be reasoned with I and may reconsider. What drove changes was enough Repubs (small %) being embarrassed to be associated with the racists.
