with Republicans?
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/30/opinion/republicans-trump-impeachment.html
"That something like the Trump-Zelensky phone call would occur was entirely predictable given what we know about Donald Trump. He is an extreme narcissist, pathologically dishonest, shameless, a man who delights in flouting norms. He has a mobster’s mentality. Mr. Trump’s behavior isn’t governed by moral standards; he doesn’t seem to believe objective moral standards even exist. He can no more understand the language of morality than a person listening to someone speak a foreign language for the first time can.
Why, then, are so many Republicans yet again circling the Trump wagon rather than taking this opportunity to denounce what the president did and declare some independence from him by doing so? Why has Mr. Trump, an ethical wreck of a man both before and after he reached the White House, earned such fealty from Republicans?"

They are afraid they will lose their job. They would rather keep their job than do what is right for the country.

I thought the article provided some insight into the question.
As Wehner says—it is complicated.

P***e. When people have been yapping nonstop for two years its a natural reaction for people to harden their defenses even if its the wrong thing to do.

The deeper someone is into it the harder it is to turn around.

Foreigners are constantly trying to meddle with our e******ns. They do not realize that what they say means nothing. It is just another fart. It makes a noise but has no value or impact on our country.
