They absolutely intend to go the same direction as their Democratic Uniparty counterparts.

I don’t think they intend to do much of anything. They are simply weak, unprincipled and lacking in convictions. Listen carefully to them. They are empty suits who spout platitudes and actually equate talk with action.
They are there for themselves and are quite happy to drift along with the current of compromise and appeasement. Its the easy path for those with no backbone.
Alas, we elect and re-elect these clowns. And they are happy to lie to us to stay there in their cushy part time jobs. In short order they evolve into corrupt Swamp creatures.
amen
They are collaborators and have proven this over and over. Especially when they open their mouths to oppose Trump in particular. People like the late McCain (and former cohort Flake) were proof positive and the most vocal; the rest fake it and/or keep silent in order to keep getting re-elected. (Those openly aligned with the Bushes are also vocally left wing.)
This trend of the GOP is well over a half-century old. It was written about in several books from the late 50s, including Goldwater’s book.
