When you consider that question from the perspective that Republicans care more about the party and the power it gives them, than they do about the country, the answer isn't really difficult. Of course they would love to have all the power, but if it comes to protecting their donor class or supporting someone who might not, they will go with their donors.
The Democrats want the Republicans as a fig leaf.
If you really think about it, it seems the “republican” party has really been led by democrats calling themselves republicans just for that purpose...I know we all say RINO, but I think it is correct...
It seems there is a true UNIPARTY...
Trump just came in unexpectedly and has upset their plans...
People are seeing the real collusion and are pissed!!!!
GO TRUMP!!!!!
