It is so unlike anything I've seen before. Republicans do tend to stick together, but there have always been some outliers who won't just go along to get along. Yes, I do believe many have been blackmailed (perhaps courtesy of Putin) and others are probably afraid for their own safety and that of their families.

The rest just can't not follow for some reason, though I think a lot of them know their days in congress are numbered.
