A series of recent Krugman Tweets are below. Repugs don't care if they have to break the law or commit treason to maintain their office because it's all about power. This sickness has destroyed any values they used to practice but still espouse to hide their true motives.

Seeing a lot of pieces about why GOP politicians are standing behind Trump even though they know he grotesquely abused power and betrayed US interests. Usually framed in terms of primary challenges, etc. But is this overthinking? 1/
