If the sack-less Republicans are so afraid of trump...

if they are worried that a misspoken word, an "oops" tweet or overheard questionable comment about their Furhrer could be their undoing, I gotta believe, in addition to being such sca-R-dy pusses, they must all be incredibly stupid.

If they're that worried about trump getting revenge on them for ANYTHING, their answer is simple -

FIND HIM GUILTY AND HAVE HIM REMOVED
! Get rid of the bully you're afraid of.

It's really that simple for you fraidy cats to ward off the bogey-man or the maniac clown under the bed.

Just find him guilty!
You can stop your own waking childish fears if you just get rid of him - plus you may actually save face!

I can't make this any plainer. Find him guilty and remove him from office and he can't hurt you anymore!

You will find he'll be too busy trying to defend himself from a host of legal problems to worry about you or you can close your eyes and go on over taxing the poor and middle class, caging children, deporting patriots, rewarding corruption, destroying the environment and allowing foreign dictators to kill Americans with impunity while kowtowing to his every whim. They have words or people like that.

That is...
(Unless you have something to hide that just may show why you cower so much when your leader screams!)

Let’s say 20 Republicans join Democrats and vote to remove him.

Any Republican Senator who votes to remove and also faces a primary this year will confront an angry 45 who is telling his still loyal base to vote against the Republican in the primary. Chances are high that Republican will lose their primary.

Come November, 45 will still be angry. He is not going to tell his base to vote for one of those Republicans and that person will find it tough going on the campaign trail, especially with his crazy, gun-toting, violent base. Further, his base will be so rejected that he is not on the ballot that they stay home by the millions, creating another massive blue wave.

There is absolutely no upside for Republicans to vote to remove unless they are retiring from work and DC. So, they tow the party line regardless of how much they like or dislike 45.

If they remove him they face a dismayed 46 for less than a year. 45 will be arrested and suspended from Twitter for violation of terms.

and there are enough votes to make that happen, they'll be primaried by someone supported by his cult followers, who will remain fanatically devoted after he's removed. If they vote to remove him and there aren't enough votes to make that happen, he'll terrorize them with tweets (their figurative heads on pikes) with the result that they'll be primaried by someone supported by his cult followers.

if you want to stick together on something - make it the removal of Trump from office.

5. Kompromat? Perhaps they fear compromising and/or damaging information

..that will destroy them personaly and or politically.

In Russian culture, kompromat, short for "compromising material" (Russian: компрометирующий материал, romanized: komprometiruyushchy material), is damaging information about a politician, a businessperson, or other public figure, used to create negative publicity, as well as for blackmail and extortion.
