Trump should NOT have been the type of person with access to state secerets. Coupled with Russian intelliegence and his wanna-be mafia persona, Rs are under his spell due to blackmail, bribery or bullying. Mix that with Trump's understanding of how to tap the deep grievances of facists WAITING to be unleashed (his "army" of voters), and voila, no Republican will go against him.

I just don't get it. Bush Sr. and Carter were absoultely kicked to the curb by their own parties and general population after their one-term losses. Yet, Trump is stronger than ever. I guess the lies amplified through the RW media have brainwashed folks. We're dealing with tens of MILLIONS of Americans who are not rooted in reality.
