All House members have to run for re-election in 2018, and if they dump Trump they will have to explain it to the deplorables in their districts who, apparently, still believe that President Toot Toot's Russian entanglements are just fake news. Senators, especially those who don't have to run for re-election for awhile, are probably more likely to jump ship. A few, like McCain, Graham and Collins, seem to be heading for the lifeboats already.
