I know the expectation is for the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse this ruling.
However, I think there are plenty of Republicans that recognize things have gone wrong for them and would like to see Trump eliminated, particularly if they can complain that it was a terrible thing that they would never support.
Let's be clear. Anyone who's not spoken out about him in the Republican party is a coward.
But, I think you are right. I think quite a few aren't taking the risk of speaking out against him because they think the courts and process will do it for them. They are trying to have their cake and eat it too.
In some ways it's probably a smart move, but it shows the absolute lack of moral character and backbone of modern Republicans.
It does seem to be more a question of motivation (when it comes to voting)
