Idiot Corker thought that Trump did a great job on his first foreign trip.

It's becoming entirely possible though, too, that a large number of Republicans in Congress are entangled in the Trump/Russia situation and/or are otherwise compromised by Russia in terms of blackmail or, more likely than not, campaign contributions. I have noticed that, in recent years, right-wing Republicans have also been, at least rhetorically, embracing Putin, as a means of attacking then-President Obama and/or simply admiring his autocratic style of governance, which I'm sure that they would love to emulate over here with one of their own Presidents.
