Why Do The Repugs Keep Circling The Wagons Around Trump And Protecting Him?..... [View all]

What does he have over them? How is he blackmailing them into protecting him? Is he threatening them that if they take him down he'll take them down with him?

He knows where all their skeletons are hidden. He could spill the beans and take down the whole Party if he wanted to. Is that what they are afraid of?

And if he doesn't know where their skeletons are hidden - he'll just lie and make things up to take them down. Is that what they are afraid of?
