The GOP is fully married to this turd and will continue to stand aside. they are willing to go along with their Russian allies to keep power. They still want to bankrupt the government with their heinous tax cuts. The GOP is just as much the enemy as ISIS would be. Af far as elections go they will cheat harder and harder so they cannot be ousted from power.
We are truly in a national crisis whose tipping point is still far in the future. And these disasters look to only be the beginning.

I think when the GOP leadership has had enough, it will start the ball rolling and all the rest of them will be free to jump ship, too. Then we'll have something.
They aren't fools.

They are all traitors.
Expect nothing from them except delays, obstruction and lies.

...he knows that he has the political equivalent of being able to shoot someone in the streets of new york and not losing a vote! He knows he can threaten nuclear war, destruction of first amendment, remove support of desperate PR, eliminate health insurance for kids, and cozy up to a lethal adversary WITHOUT LOSING A CONGRESSIONAL VOTE ON LEGISLATION, NOMINEES, OR IMPEACHMENT.
