the ACA, support for Paris climate deal, get through this budget. Then they leak enough re: Russia and Trump WH disfunction to force impeachment while publicly supporting him so not as to offend the 37%. Them Trump is impeached by Democrats. Then Pence is President. And the Republicans retain those Democrats in swing states who voted for Trump and Liberals get credit/blame for doing it. Could happen. That might explain why they are puclicly supporting him as much as is possible under the circumstances.
