Are they going to follow Orrin Hatch's proclamation that he is the "greatest" President of his lifetime?
How will they explain away the incompetence and insanity and instability?
Are they waiting for something catastrophic to happen, so they can say they agree with their Democratic colleagues that something must be done?
In the meantime, they will try to fill the pockets of their coffers, and pray that nothing will happen that will make them come to their senses?
How do Republicans "spin" Donald J Trump?

(27,818 posts)They'll blame this entire fiasco of a pResidency on his mental instability - which they will insist was not evident before they elected him, but was triggered by the stress of the office.

It's going to explode.

(27,818 posts)And the GOP are going to have to do some fancy mouth-work to explain why they foisted this idiot on the country in the first place. Citing his "mental illness" seems to be their only option at this point.

They will back "the enemy of my enemy," without regard that the current "enemy" was the previous "enemy of my enemy."
They welcome in the Tea Party nuts, believing they will control the crazies, and now the power in the party ARE the crazies from the Tea Party (which is something Richard Painter can never admit).
They will scream about "unprecedented obstruction" when the opposition behaves the way they did.
They change the rules on the fly, and lie about the Obamacare votes when expected to follow the existing rules.
