    Based on Trump’s approval ratings and the obsequious hands that flew up at various speeds when Brett Baier asked if the GOP nominees would support Trump even if he’s convicted in a court of law, I’ve yet to see convincing evidence that the balance leans heavier toward those who are utterly repulsed by the state of their party than it does toward those who are only mildly inconvenienced but still calmly comfortable knowing they won’t be first in line for the firing squad. I would certainly love to be proven wrong, but I’m just not sure we’re there yet, and I don’t really know what it would take to get us there. Just seems like they’re a lot better at saying they disapprove than showing they do.
