that's not how these things work. any republican voting against this would never get a good committee assignment for the rest of their career. Republicans are able to separate trump drama and the future of the court.
 
It's no coincidence that the Trump-is-nucking-futz crowd coincides quite nicely with the there's-no-climate-change crowd on the Venn diagram of cuckoos.

Trump's White House has been unusually leaky from day one, and now these signs of internal resistance shouldn't come as a surprise. Good leaders inspire loyalty. Trump inspires none.

There's a reason people flip on him so easily when threatened by prosecutors. Who wants to go down for a man like Trump, who treats everyone around him like garbage? Do you think the Justice Department is feeling loyal to him, with Trump attacking the AG and members of the FBI constantly? How about the State Department, where Tillerson got summarily fired?

Even within the White House itself, people are repeatedly hung out to dry by Trump, either intentionally, to slake his thirst for drama, or unintentionally, when his idiotic bumbling trashes plans they've spent weeks or months putting in place. Meanwhile, those with actual expertise routinely find themselves reporting to people whose only qualification is an obsequious attitude towards Trump (e.g., Ben Carson), or actually being his immediate family members (Kushner, Ivanka), or those if his hangers-on (Sanders). Trump probably goes days on end without ever once encountering a person who actually likes him. No wonder he loves those campaign-style rallies, where he can bask in the adoration of the rubes who have no clue who he really is.

The white house is now like the last days of Nixon, with Dicky wandering around the halls mumbling about treason among his inner circle and crying to the presidential portraits.
 
Could someone tell me what this guardian of the Republic has "protected" us from for the last 18 months?

A cogent observation!

Haven't we determined by now that Trump is off the reservation and certifiably nuts, and anyone who denies it is either a hyperpartisan dupe, or lying their ass off?
