For the 53 Republican senators, “membership in Trump’s party” is an “all-embracing and restrictive proposition.” Unlike royal membership, Trump’s team “tars reputations rather than enhances them.” Trump “never admits anything, demands total loyalty, and strikes out at anyone that transgresses these rules. As with the Windsors, you can’t be a half-in Trump Republican.”
