you see bits and pieces of it, but i dont think you can make a convincing case that the republican party as a whole, or even close to 50% of it, genuinely likes trump. almost every republican whos worked with him has something negative to say about him. behind closed doors, they criticize him and vote against his interests, like during the senate confirmation process. i think trump is more of a political tool for themsomething they can manipulate and use to their advantagerather than a figure they actually support. its easier for them to keep him around and play the game with him, rather than cast him aside and deal with the harder consequences. i have more examples but i'm certain this is true.
