It’s funny what winning an election will do. During the 2016 campaign, there were R’s who were tepid in their support for Trump like Colin Powell, Jon Huntsman, Jeff Flake, Carly Fiorina, Jason Chaffetz, Ben Sasse and numerous others ( **all mentioned in this NBC story** ) who called for him to drop out or they changed from deciding to vote for him before the election.
But some of those named above who said they wouldn’t support him or were lukewarm sure changed their minds after the election. But I’m wondering how much love Trump would have now if the election had reversed itself and Hillary had won by the landslide people had predicted.
What do you think? I suspect the fickle finger of elections would have been wagging and he’d have been just another loser. I think winning the election did everything to boost his love within his party and they would have all but abandoned him otherwise.
It was only for their party, not their admiration of Trump that made them follow. They got out of him all they wanted, so he's pretty useless to them now. If something happens as a result of any of these investigations that prove some type of criminality by Trump or a family member, those Congressmen are going to bail faster than you can blink your eyes.
