    Republican “leaders” could, in fact, do something. They simply choose not to. In almost all cases, they are paid not to, the corrupt human garbage that they are.

    For instance, they could man up and tell Trump to shut his god damn mouth, and stop breaking the law, because these things are unacceptable. Yet they refuse to do so, and continue to provide cover for him.

    And thus, as you predicted 8 years ago, the GOP continues to disintegrate.

      Not so simple, is it? Say you hold an R seat, in any given legislature. Polls, and reality, have shown you, over and over again, that to speak against Trump gets you thrown out on your ass.

      Now where are you? What power to you have to make change, affect policy? You’re mud. Better to hang in and try to effect change from within. Better than nothing?

      This shit should have been cut off in 2015, with a guillotine. Past that, already too late.
