Why do you think they all kiss the ring? It isn't because they agree with him or like him, hell, look at some of the stuff they all said about him prior to the election. It is because to go against him is political suicide.

I think that's more true than in the past, but it isn't completely true for a lot of districts and states. At some points rats jump off a sinking ships.
I just think it's defeatist to say a president can get away with all sorts of crimes because doing anything might cost some votes.
