[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I venture to guess that half of the GOP congress and at least as many Republicans in the electorate find Trump appalling. But politicians are afraid, pure and simple. They are afraid of the impact on their political careers if they step up to Trump, not to mention violence and harassment at the hands of Trump’s followers.

And many regular conservative Republican voters are willing to hold their nose at Trump because they didn’t want a woman president and they hold out hope that somehow Trump’s promises of smaller government and lower taxes will help them (spoiler alert: for most of the tax base, there’s zero benefit). [b]They knew who Trump was[/b] and now for many, the leopard is coming for them.

In sum, cowardice. [/quote]

They thought they knew who he was. But their absolute willingness to ignore the signs that he ran a coup on Jan. 6, set them up for failure. Trump 2.0 is not what they wanted but they were selfish Aholes anyway so they will try to protect their families now that things are falling apart by keeping quiet. I see more of these "normal" Rs sending their kids abroad either for college or some sort of international work after college so they'll be safe.
