For those that thought two or three Republicans might stand with the Democrats, that thought bubble has been punctured today. McCain, Graham, and Rubio seem to have joined their comrades on the crazy train?
They have all said they will now vote for Tillerson for SoS. The Russian connections do not seem to be that important after all.
Also, Trump seems to relish the idea of being sued by the ethics folks. He is the expert at dragging out long legal battles. No doubt, he will have the GOP fighting on his side as he takes a crap on our Constitution.
Furthermore, the media has been hesitant but now seem ready to accept him as a "normal" President, elected by the people and are willing to overlook everything that should disqualify him for the office.
Also, it appears that some Democrats are willing to give the Republicans some "bi-partisan" cover by voting for Cabinet nominees that have not been vetted and have not completed their financial obligatons?
At this time, it looks rather dire. The final nail in the coffin of democracy will be when the Judges do not hold him accountable and laws are meaningless. That will be a terrible time.
