Now hobbled, Graham is believed to have spent several freezing hours sleeping fitfully under a rocky overhang, only to be awakened by the sound of the dogs sudden approach. Sources confirmed the senator has not been able to escape the range of Trumps retinue since that time, and has begun to see flashes of the commander-in-chiefs red field jacket between the trees as the sound of his hunting horn comes ever closer.

....Many Republican members of Congress have made a Faustian bargain with Donald Trump. They dont particularly admire him as a man, they dont trust him as an administrator, they dont agree with him on major issues, but they respect the grip he has on their voters, they hope hell sign their legislation...
... the Trump administration is not a Republican administration; it is an ethnic nationalist administration. Trump insulted both parties equally in his Inaugural Address. The Bannonites are utterly crushing the Republican regulars when it comes to actual policy making.
...even if Trumps ideology were not noxious, his incompetence is a threat to all around him. To say that it is amateur hour at the White House is to slander amateurs. The recent executive orders were drafted and signed without any normal agency review or even semicoherent legal advice, filled with elemental errors that any nursery school student would have caught.

@its becoming increasingly clear that the aroma of bigotry infuses the whole operation, and anybody who aligns too closely will end up sharing in the stench.
None of these traits will improve with time. As former Bush administration official Eliot Cohen wrote in The Atlantic, Precisely because the problem is one of temperament and character, it will not get better. It will get worse, as power intoxicates Trump and those around him. It will probably end in calamity substantial domestic protest and violence, a breakdown of international economic relationships, the collapse of major alliances, or perhaps one or more new wars (even with China) on top of the ones we already have. It will not be surprising in the slightest if his term ends not in four or in eight years, but sooner, with impeachment or removal under the 25th Amendment.
With most administrations you can agree sometimes and disagree other times. But this one is a danger to the party and the nation in its existential nature. And so sooner or later all will have to choose what side they are on, and live forever after with the choice.
