A lot of Republicans who had deep misgivings about Trump went
along with him because they assumed that he could produce legislation
dear to their hearts. But what if it turns out that he can’t?
Politicians are highly pragmatic people; they will support a president
as long as he isn’t too costly to them. But if he becomes too expensive
to their own reelection, all bets are off. On the Senate floor the other
day, a cluster of Republicans jocularly made a pool on the way in which
they think Trump will be forced to leave office.
