Who is going to do whatever he wants and neither congress nor the judiciary will stop him. His basement is probably about 30%. Those are the truly deplorables that we have to live alongside.

Trump voters already notoriously don't turn out for off-year elections; if his approval is in the 30s when elections roll around, Republicans will be ousted all over the place, just like in 2018.

1. Stand up to him and get primaried
2. Say enough is enough and impeach, convict and remove him
3. Do nothing

My bet is on #3. They are cowards.
