6. Oh, hee hee, I'm one of those folks....

Don't get me wrong, I'm one of those folks who is sure that the Republicans will get away with absolutely everything.

But I don't think they have any loyalty at all to Trump. He's just the tool they used to get what they want. Now that his usefulness is at an end, a Trump in his natural state might just appear to be just as much of a liability to them as he is to us. I also think it's feasible that they might find him an attractive bit of chaff to be blown out before the missiles of the enraged electorate find the Republicans in the 2018 mid-terms.

Unlike Democrats, the Republicans and particularly the people who own them have a dozen different viable ways to usher Trump out, and unlike us they're not limited to ethical or legal choices, which expands the option suite considerably. The only real question is what do they think is the cost of retaining him? If that number is too high, he's gone.
