Why are so many GOP Members of Congress defending Trump's indefensible actions, then? (Or perhaps more saliently, why are so few explicitly saying that they were wrong, and none calling them impeachable?) Do Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham really believe that all of this is very legal and very cool?


There's a difference between saying nothing or making political statements and saying the types of things that Trump lawyers or spokespeople have had to say. For example, Mitch McConnell criticized Trump yesterday (for the Kurdistan decision), but managed to do so without naming Trump by name. He did manage to name and criticize Obama by name in that same statement.

On the legal side, the question is, is this legal? It's hard to defend Trump there. On the political side, the question is, is Trump better than the alternative? And it's very easy to say that yes, he's better than letting the Democrats take power.
