In order to get elected, the Orangutan Emperor got himself blackmailed by Putin...

And there's no way out for him now. He will always do Puti's bidding. Putin already overrode Trump's choice for Secretary of State - choosing HIS buddy Tillerson - over Trump's loyal (and whacko) foot soldier Rudy G. The insane and widely discredited Flynn is another Pooti fave.

Putin likely has enough evidence of his collusion in the election hack to get tRump hanged for treason. Don the Con will NEVER cross his master - no matter what the political cost - even if it were to end up costing him the support of the GOP - and lead him down the path to impeachment!

Trump will no longer be useful to the GOP come Jan. 21st!!

They rode with him (and Putin and Comey) back to power in the White House, but I truly expect a drive towards impeachment to begin within months. Trump is a loose cannon that is far too unpredictable, and likely to declare war on the GOP establishment at the drop of a hat. I think the establishment man - President Pence - will likely serve a longer stretch in this term than Trump.

Trump has probably already provided them with a whole host of impeachable acts to choose from - whether it be his collusion (and communication) with the Russian hacking scheme, or one of multiple violations of the emoluments clause.

Seriously, why stick with Trump when he is so unpredictable, unpopular, and untested? He's going to suck, and they know it. The right wing that supported him isn't going anywhere - it's not like they're going to switch to supporting liberal Democrats any time soon.

And not all Republicans on capitol hill are really anxious to take their marching orders from Russia.

Yes, as he is a right-wing homophobe, anti-abortion rights fanatic, who counts Dick Cheney as a mentor - Pence will be bad. But he does know government, he won't be led by Putin, and he's not likely to launch nuclear weapons.

My bet is that Paul Ryan can't wait to get rid of the loudmouthed orange monster (Priebus or no Priebus) at his earliest convenience!
