The Supreme Court Justice hanging in the balance is the excuse many Republicans use to vote for Donald Trump, but, it is more than that. It is simply the way Republicans game the country.
They don't govern. The Republicans pad the pockets of their Wall Street interests. That is all they have done leading up to the economic collapse of 2008 and it is all they have done since.
It is amazing that Americans simply don't see the forest for the trees. Does anyone believe Donald Trump would be in office long? Pence is hanging his hat on the Vice Presidency hoping it leads to more. If the Republicans have the Senate and House majority, President Trump will be removed as quickly as possible.
Congressional Republicans will not work with a President they disagree with. They had real experience with President Obama.

If someone had told me 10 years ago (click here) that the first general election presidential debate of 2016
would feature a CNN chyron that said “Awaiting the Historic
Clinton-Trump Debate,” I would have thought you were crazy. If you had
told me the polls would be tied going into that debate I would have
thought the world had gone crazy. But that’s where we are and last
night’s debate showed how far we’ve gone down the rabbit hole.
My preview of the debate yesterday
focused on the fact that Trump’s “serious” debates at the end of the
primaries, when there were fewer rivals, gave us some clues about how he
might perform in the main event. He was aggressively incoherent and
sometimes completely unintelligible, proving repeatedly that he had
absolutely no idea what he was talking about.
This has been
obvious from the beginning of his campaign if you watched his rallies
and interviews. It’s just that his personality is so remarkably bizarre
that I think the lack of substance is easy to overlook. (I confess I
have been somewhat surprised that so many people find his rambling
“braggadociousness” appealing enough that they fail to notice that he is ignorant about everything important to the job of president.)...
