you see how easily he ended the political career of repub candidates in fl, sc, ks, etc by endorsing their primary opponents.
he pretty much ended jeff flake and bob corker and they were popular safe seat incumbents in their states before the trump spats.
the repub senate just increased its majority with candidates that ran closely aligned to trump. so a trumpy senate got even trumpier in terms of quality *and* quantity.
alot of their entire political futures depend on their allegiance to trump.
for the time being...repubs in congress aint moving on/away from trump in any meaningful way aside from some purely procedural/inconsequential resolution votes.
theyre riding with him til the hairplugs fall off.
