The Rs are not cowering somewhere. They are pretending to cower.
Cowering is a misconception that they are comfortable with. “Cowering” feigns weakness. These Rs are anything but weak and they know *exactly* what they are doing and they think they know what the endgame is.
They are regrouping, taking their orders from the Chamber of Commerce, being silent, hoping that this blows over.
Boy do they want Trump to be gone and to return to the old days of graft and ripping off the populace.
The fact that illegal immigration causes such societal mayhem is, to them, the price of doing business.
The Senate is starting to lead.. Cruz introduce a term limit bill and now a wall bill is being introduced.

“As the President said tonight, this is about fulfilling our duty to the citizens we serve. I agree, Mr. President. Let’s work together to secure our border.”
Rubio is a snake, he’ll be pushing amnesty again before you know it.
Republicans are shuffling their feet and tap-dancing ‘cause wouldn’t want to be on record as supporting DJT in case his agenda and policies fail...The Rs jockey and hedge as they labor to remain on both sides of every issue and maintain a defensible position just in case...Can’t stand up or risk offending a victim group, the MSN or their pals across the aisle...
So our President will continue to go it alone with little or no Rep support, aside from some occasional jawbone...Almost guarantees failure...At least the Republicans are or soon will be back where they’re most comfortable, as the minority party with nothing to offer but principaled opposition bafflegab...
