Right on target, TC. Keep it up. One of your best articles!!!!!! You've said it: the people who used to be called Republicans are now the adherents to a cult of personality---the quick shift on the border bill shows that. And we need to believe Trump: he will exact vengeance. One has to ask: what does he have on most Republican leaders: is info that is embarrassing or a liability? is it the fact that they will lose their financial lifeline via think tanks and paid speeches when congressional career ends? OR is it really the fear of physical attack? It's clear everyone on the R side is scared shitless.....(I recall reading that Mitt Romney spends something like $1 million per month on security for his family; is that correct?) It seems clear to me that if things turn against Trump in the courts, the militias will begin to rumble......maybe subtly at first..... I hope the good generals have a plan A and B and C and can shut down the renegades in the ranks. It is a nice day outside with sunshine in N. Ohio (this time of year that is a rarity; think I'll go for a walk......)

I think it's all of those things as explanations for their fear. I don't think Rmoney spends that much, but it is a lot.
