Interesting that some of the bootlickers are switching sides all of a sudden.

But I think it makes sense. The typical Republican politician is a selfish bastard who is in it for their own personal gain, so they line up behind Trump when he threatens them to torpedo their re-election. But what's happening currently in the USA is that it's becoming clearer by the day that an endorsement from Trump may be nowhere near enough to get re-elected because constituents are angry.
