    I really think congress is mostly a bunch of people who got into it on this power fantasy but mostly they all feel like they ‘made it’ and will only do enough to preserve what they have because they’re used to the cushy schedule and the VIP treatment and really don’t want to go back to the shithole they represent.

    Which in normal times, they’d probably get away with that, even the GOPers. But I can’t help but think that if they let Trump get too far some of them are going to have their backs against the wall too. It’s pretty easy to cross him and he gets crazier and has less impulse control with every passing moment.
