As much as I would like to agree with you Victoria Lamb Hatch; I’ve been watching these guys since at least the beginning of Obama’s presidency and I don’t believe at this point that they’re afraid of suffering any backlash. You only have to look at when House Republicans passed their AHCA to know that they’re fearless now under a Trump White House.
Also, in relation to the Climate Accord, with 22 Republicans signing a letter to ask that he withdraw, they’re certainly not afraid of the backlash and Republicans are become more aggressive with their elections. If they’re not afraid of losing then that should be a red flag.
