But the Republican base - as has been proven over the past year plus - is comprised of the most easily manipulated people on the planet.
The GOP convinced their voters that Trump was an honest-to-a-fault, savvy businessman, a true patriot who has the betterment of the middle-class at heart.
FFS, they even convinced them that a self-declared pussy-grabber is actually a devout Christian.
Given the above, the "base" will be just as easily led away from Trump as they were to support him - and we are at that point where the PTB in the GOP don't have a lot of wiggle room.
I know the Republicans have been playing The Big Stall for months - hoping that they could hold things together until November, trying to present a united front in order to mitigate the damage they'll suffer in the midterms.
But today's events are a game-changer that can't be ignored. No doubt the GOP is in complete chaos at this point - trying to weigh sticking with Trump until the midterm votes are in against the continuing damage that's being inflicted on their "brand". IOW, they're between a rock and a hard place.
And it's only April. I'm sure the Republicans are already in a panic over what more could happen between now and the midterms - and they know it's only going to get worse, not better.
The Republican "base" are sheep - they'll go where they are led by the Judas goats who are their leaders without thinking twice.
