7. It's not going to happen until there is some event that pushes enough of the GOP over

Right now there are two types of GOP members of congress. Those that really in their hearts agree with him and those that don't but are too afraid to go against him. The first kind won't change, they are dead enders. The other kind will only change if something makes them more afraid to not do something than they are of him and his cult. In a general sense that's going to be money or freedom, there is a tipping point but sadly we aren't even close to it yet. One or two of them breaking from him won't do it, there needs to be probably 10 to 20. Once that happens the damn will burst and the others will be too afraid to not go with the crowd.
