[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will not turn on him until more than 50% of the voters in their states/districts favor impeachment.  Because of decades of gerrymandering, it is the true believers in the primaries who control the choice of candidate---not the general electorate. Trump's base are those true believers and they receive their news predominantly from Fox and are almost cult-like about Trump.  [/quote]

Gerrymanders don't matter in the Senate. The primary concern is real, but if it looks like they'd just lose in the general, it should be a little less of a consideration.[/quote]

Establishment Republicans have been afraid of their shadows since the tea party took over the party in 2010. Trump's demagogue appeals to the fears and prejudices of his base have made it worse. Previously establishment Republicans were protected because the party money and the major Republican interest groups would always back them against a populist challenger, but now a lot of the major interest groups also, have been taken over by the lunatic fringe, so establishment Republicans can't count on their support.
