They are really showing who they are. Den of vipers.
It’s starting to look like they trade off handling unpopular (with the base) issues in order to be, as an entity, a moving target when it comes to re-election/being primaried/ etc. Of course when it’s an issue like amnesty which directly affects their gravy train, they will pull together to oppose all of us. A few arw designated to bleat about abortion, Big Gov, other fundamental conservative issues-while either never doing anything concrete on the issues (abortion , CommieCare), or actually exacerbating the problem (ie Big Gov). President Trump upset their balancing act by actually meaning what he said and doing what he could to address conservative concerns-they don’t want the issues to go away, they need them for talking points when they run for office, and as a club to beat us over the head with should we get wise and fed up with their smoke and mirrors. The next time they support amnesty, for instance, and we start rumbling, they can use say something like, “But you need us, who else will oppose abortion?” (As if they ever actually do anything-President Trump did, AND addressed illegal immigration too, and they’ll never forgive him for showing them up for the phonies they are-now they’re turning on us, the base, with their accusations of “Trump worshippers”-we don’t worship Trump, but we should have everlasting gratitude to him for proving that they were indeed disingenuous liars all along. They’ll never forgive him for that. Now they don’t know what to do that the conservative base is onto them-looks like throw us overboard because they can’t lie their way out of this now, thanks to President Trump showing them up).
