The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

So Zelenskyy had all the cards. You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them. Just think whilst TACO was telling Zelenskyy in The Whitehouse he doesn't hold the cards, he was aware of the drone attack being planned with the Truck Ttojan horses.
