Elected GOP are like the general public, which means as each day passes they are more convinced that POTUS does not have any cards to play
They retreat to the firm ground, conventional wisdom, that POTUS cannot overcome the results even if fraudulent
Don't forget there is a WIDE swath of opinion that Donald Trump simply cannot play at the same level as the deep state because the system is rigged against him and all the people he hires are swamp creatures
