Imagine how Republicans would have reacted if President Barack Obama had attacked a retailer for dropping his daughter’s product line. But it’s President Trump doing all those things, so Republicans in Congress are as meek and quiet as mice. Perhaps the most striking thing about the chaotic and exhausting first three weeks of the Trump administration is the degree to which Republicans have held together, placing loyalty above all else. Remember how eager House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) was to investigate every real or imagined question about the Obama administration? If opposition to Trump unites and motivates Democrats the way that opposition to Obama did for Republicans, GOP strategists should be very worried.
