If Trump is anything close to being the tactician that he’s proved himself to be so far, I’m pretty sure he knows who is and who is not on his side, for the most part. If it appears that he’s rubbing elbows with one of them, my guess is they’re about to be dropped like a bag of hot rocks.
Maybe, I hope you’re right.
I think he, like many including myself, believed that the GOP was on his side and believed their lies.
