Trump has an 87% approval rating amongst Republicans as of the last poll I can find.

While Trump is a megalomanic and does whatever he wants, he has the mandate of the Republican party, whose elected officials could choose at any moment to end this by withdrawing support.

Don't let them off the hook.

It's lower than that. Most polls show below 80%.

That's not the way.

80% is cult numbers especially when you consider Trump has changed the platform to be the opposite of basically everything the party stood for.
