Where is the breaking point for Republicans in Congress with Trump?
The secret to Trump’s political power isn’t that he has some magical skills or charisma. Trump’s power in the Republican Party has always been rooted in the fear that Republicans in Congress have of Trump’s power over Republican voters, and his ability to turn those voters against incumbents.
