Republicans have allowed trump to stay on to long.

Each day brings new and damaging revelations about trump, his family and “associates”.

I don’t think elected Republicans understood at the beginning that if he went down, he would drag everyone with him.

Their continued support of the man is insane. During the election, many republican lawmakers refused to openly support Trump, but now pretty much everyone is on the Trump Train. Putin is really good at what he does.

Appointed conservative judges
Pulled out of the Paris treaty
Nixed the Iran deal
Threw out environmental and financial regulations
Damaged"Obamacare"
Reduced taxes for rich and corporations
Showed "strength" in meetings with allies
Showed "resolve" on border issues
Showed solidarity with extreme right
etc.

They're getting what they want. For them trump is a tremendous success. They want more of the same.

that Grahams campaign had more than one Ukraine affiliated worker on it, and there are questions about his 180 turn on Dump and Mueller. There always had to be a reason, and I think we're about to find out what it is. The oligarchs were busy in more than Dump's business.

But I really feel like the pendulum has started to swing the other way.

People are sick to death of Trump.
