Testing ... Testing

Trump's base is still devoted to him.

Have you ever wondered why Republicans in Congress still support Donald Trump?  People keep asking "how can Republicans support a man who loves Vladimir Putin, who doesn't want to get to the bottom of the Russia hacking/meddling scandal???"

If you watch as many news shows as I do, you have probably heard that "Republicans were so much braver during Watergate ... those were people with deep conviction and integrity."


Recently  a pundit/historian ( maybe Michael Beschloss) said on TV (maybe the Rachel Maddow show - I did try to find out)  that Republicans only got the courage to confront Richard Nixon when  they perceived that his supporters in their districts were becoming disillusioned with him. 


So, who knows, maybe Republicans will grow some courage ... when their constituents have told them they have had enough with the Donald Trump administration.
