My new favorite word to describe Repiblicans in Congress:

"lickspittle"

lick·spit·tle
/ˈlikˌspidl/

noun: lickspittle; plural noun: lickspittles; noun: lick-spittle; plural noun: lick-spittles

a person who behaves obsequiously to those in power.
"he is a lickspittle for the Establishment"

A perfect description for those who lick up every dribble of spittle that drools out of Trump's mouth.
