So these ‘staunch conservatives’ manifest when a commie democrat progressive is in the White Hut, but these same people are transmogrified into complacent or even go-along-to-get-along republican dweebs when a liberal republican is in the White House. Got it. ... No magic thinking there, no siree.

Now you're putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about "staunch conservatives". I said, "Republicans". It'll be some time before conservatives dominate Congress. That's a long-term work in progress.

One thing I didn't add, is that a Republican-dominated Congress is going to be likely to support the agenda and wishes of any Republican president - liberal, conservative, or moderate.
