If you have Republican senators or a Republican House rep, call their offices and tell them what you think of this.

They're all complicit in this. They'll do nothing. And Susan Collins will be very "concerned".

Yes! This will be the time they finally push back on Trump.

Midterms are coming up next year. If they are afraid their association with Trump might take them down, they'll crack.

Honestly I suspect fear of Trump is really their only motivation right now.

So long as most of these states have party primaries, particularly closed party primaries, it doesn't really matter because anyone insufficiently pro-Trump is getting primaried hard.

They still have to face competition in the general though. If Republican voters are disgusted enough, they might vote for a Democrat, but they are more likely to stay home and just not vote. Which could be enough for them to lose their seats.

If Republican voters were capable of being disgusted enough, it would have happened by now.
