After the Obama purges this was something the GOP could have informed him of...but chose not to. Up until 2019 the Republican party had done more to obstruct this administration than to aid it. Even now, GOP backing of the President is half-hearted at best.
Are there some in the capitol who believe in what the President is attempting to do? YES! But just wait until the RATS make some new, baseless charge....there won't be enough syrup in Canada to cover the waffles
There are a few that I trust in the GOP (Nunes, Jordan, etc) but even the ones who have been doing well lately (McConnell and even Graham) I simply don’t trust them to do the right thing in a contested situation.
Which is discouraging, but...that is where we are at. Right now, gotta take what we can get, and it is a heck of a lot better than it has been since January 2009.
