I'll take, "They are complicit co-conspirators" for a thousand, Alex.

What are the GOP?

I think there is a sufficient amount of incentive from the GOP to grab something else for a change. This is unprecedented and even the Nixon debacle didn't have the implications of wresting power, like this time around. Trump is your answer. Once you see what he ultimately wants, (he has said it many times in many ways) then you know what the GOP is shooting for.

Perhaps they don't think they have much to lose this time because their days are numbered and they know the demographics and the problem they have with being obsolete dinosaurs in these technical times. Why not go for all the gusto you can when the opportunity arises? Sedition? Is that too strong a word for the GOP reaction to its waning relevance in years to come?
