> There's no way that the broader Republican constituency is going to ignore this fact, regardless of Trump. There’s no such thing as the broader Republican Party. It’s just Trump now. It’s like when a CEO packs a board with his friends and family, you don’t expect that board to keep the CEO in check. In addition, Trump is a cult-like leader. His supporters will never, ever, ever break from him. They could lose every last penny, it wouldn’t matter. They’d blame the democrats. Trump is infallible and to question that is to attack them personally, they are unable to separate themselves from him at this point. This is not hyperbole, it is an observation of fact for the last 8 years. He has never lost supporters. Everyone that has bet on him losing support from congress or his base, has been hilariously and spectacularly wrong, every single time. (Including me… I used to be pretty hooked on Trump news in his first presidency, thinking “this will surely sink him” after every single scandal. I still want to believe it’ll happen. But I know now it never will. You can only be wrong so many times before you realize it’ll never happen.) The only realistic path to checking Trump is a massive blue wave in 2026 from pissed off (non-Trump-base) voters. But that’s 2 years away.
