Why doesn't the GOP "establishment" understand that they hold ALL the cards? Bannon and 45

are the ones who need them. They do not really need either of them. Even if they are primaries, most of them would be re-elected because by 2018 most of the 45 administration should be behind bars or criminally indicted. All the GOP has to do is wait them out by not voting to pass any of the 45 tax plans and by passing legislation to protect DACA. Hold off on any healthcare except to fix the ACA. Nothing done by the end of the year means more disfavor for 45 and Bannon. the GOP Congress is already as low as they will go.

Nothing about them is functional or rational.

But they figure that they need radical white supremacists to win elections and currently they're probably right.

Desperate times and all of that.
