Time and time again, Republican politicians have put wealth and power over everything else.

They care only about staying on the good side of their Trump-cultist primary voters, their super-rich donors, 45 himself, and increasingly, Trump and other Republicans' various foreign patrons such as those in Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, etc etc. and so on and so forth.

They've got their dictatorial President who champions everything from tax cuts for the rich, cutting social programs for the poor, slashing any and all regulations of business, stacking the federal courts with far-right ideologues, cracking down on immigrants, refugees, asylum-seekers, Muslims, and the rest of the "least of these" that these so-called Christians love to hate, giving the Religious Right the "right" to discriminate against LGBTQ folks and others based on "religious freedom" - all while President Tremendous Deals distracts everyone with his Twitter tantrums while party elites like Mitch McConnell get their way on the aforementioned causes and others.

Those waiting on basically any of them to "see the light" will be waiting indefinitely.
