Letter: Will GOP stick with Trump or look for another leader?

Trump and the RNC endorsement of an accused child molester to the Senate, and Trump’s action to provoke the Islamic nations by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital: Both are examples of dysfunctional thinking. There’s something wrong with this guy, even Tillerson called him a moron.

He makes a habit of twisted, dysfunctional behavior; blaming others and/or the press for his own stupidity; and never accepting responsibility for his own actions. He is however, a master at manipulating his blue-collar and right-wing extremist base by feeding them information they want to hear regardless of factual circumstances.

Assuming he is not impeached, will the RNC continue to support him once key Republican issues such as health care and tax reform are addressed? Or will the RNC rid itself of the Trump liability and his 36 percent approval rating in favor of a credible candidate?
