At some point soon the Republicans will go into CYA Mode [View all]

All House members up for re-election next year and they want to increase their total of Senators plus maintain or add Governors. But with people seriously pissed off about immigration, loss of education, the healthcare BS, and now a rogue President who I think THEY think is nutty then a fruitcake...they will at some point go into self-protection mode. Not all of them of course. But hopefully enough of them to make a real difference. These dicks all want to be re-elected and the albatross of Trump could cost them very significantly in 2018.
