I suspect they're all going down together.

Many are true believers.

Others are terrified of Trump. They know if they cross him, he'll try to destroy them. They depend on Trump's base to get elected, so as long as they'd rather have power than do what's right, Trump has them.
I push back hard against the blackmail theory.

#1: It gives the GOP way too much credit. It assumes that but-for the blackmail, they'd stand up for truth and justice and what's right.

#2: It assumes they care about facts or getting caught . . .

If you have a well-oiled propaganda loop, you don't care about facts. Besides the GOP doesn't care what crimes their fellow party members commit. The list can start with @Jim_Jordan

Nope.

The GOP falls in line because they like what Trump stands for👇

Of course there is compromising material, but let's not confuse cause and effect.

There's compromising material because they're corrupt. Their corruption is the compromising material.

The blackmail theory reverses cause and effect and says they're corrupt because of blackmail.
