Lion Leading Mice

Very few Washington Republicans have stood steadfastly with President Trump. These GOP Senators and US Representatives are careerists. They have no particular loyalty to this President from their own party. Their motivations are to preserve their electability or at least in failing that, to preserve their viability as lobbyists. They never mounted a vigorous defense of President Trump, nor did they attack those unfairly defaming him. They put more roadblocks in front of Trump from their own party than they ever did to Obama from the opposite party. Now, instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with the leader of their party, they are hiding or even talking about their differences with Trump in their own reelection campaigns. The one thing you can usually count on with Democrats is that they stick together. In this instance, you can see the GOP tearing itself apart.
