That is what is really happening. Look what the GOPe did to keep Thad Cochran in the Senate.
Trump is in a bind and really doesn't know how to handle this particular mess. He's between a rock and a hard place and without committing political Hara Kiri/Seppuku,go really "POSTAL" ( which quite a few here wish he would; though they haven't thought the ending through )on all of his enemies, he has to walk a very fine line.
