Silent Republicans have their reasons. They don't have an excuse.

Whatever his impact may be on the country or the world, Donald Trumps presidency imperils the future of his party, and there isnt a serious-minded Republican in Washington who would tell you otherwise, privately.
In the short term, Trumps determination to upend the health care market, his vague tax plan thats already unpopular, an approval rating that cant crack 40 percent, his exhausting and inexhaustible penchant for conflict all of it threatens to make a massacre of the midterm elections, if you go by any historical marker.
In the longer term, its plausible to think that Trumps public ambivalence toward white supremacists, along with his contempt for immigrants and internationalism, could end up rebranding Republicans, for generations, as the party of the past.
Trump doesnt care what happens to Republicans after hes gone. The party was always like an Uber to him a way to get from point A to point B without having to find some other route or expend any cash.
