2. Here is the problem

Agent Orange could go on national TV and declare that yes, he was elected with help from Russian agents, that yes, he does plan to give Putin whatever he wants because that was the deal, and admit to every rotten thing he's ever done and you know what?

95% of Republican elected officials would stand there and cheer.

Evangelicals would rally on his behalf because he is so very "godly".

None of them (elected officials or normal Republicans) would advocate removing him from office.

Elected Republicans would shout that he's "authentic" and "unfiltered" and then go on about the business of destroying anyone who isn't a rich white dude.

Why? Because, like Paul Ryan, they've been fantasizing about how they can tear it all down for a good long time.

As long as they get to fuck people over they don't care.
