Doesn't matter what emerges. The rethugs will never remove Drumpt. We're stuck.

11. Don't be so sure.

Republicans are notoriously protective of their "brand" - they will only tolerate it being tarnished for so long, and only to an extent that is won't turn voters against them. They all come up for re-election eventually, and a pissed-off electorate jeopardizes staying in office.

Right now, you know there are Repubs out there who have seen Trump's inane twitters, heard his nonsensical statements, etc., who are brushing it off with, "Well, he's not in office yet. He'll calm down and get serious once he's sworn-in and gets into the job."

When that doesn't happen - and it won't - the GOP will be in damage control mode 24/7. And with a loose cannon like Donnie-J, there's only so damage that can be controlled.

Also remember that the Republican PTB never wanted Trump in the first place - especially because he can't be controlled. They also have Pence waiting in the wings, the man they wanted in the WH in the first place - malleable, controllable, someone willing to put "the good of the Party" above all else.

The GOP has a "Trump card" to play - pressure Donnie-J into resigning (health reasons? Anything will do) or face the public humiliation of being impeached.

The Republicans don't give a shit about the country - but they do give a shit about their "brand".
