Then they should voluntarily leave office because they aren't helping anyone. Either they get the needed security, or resign. They have already ceded their power over to trump, johnson and thune anyway. They are useless.

If they understood that a bunch of them banding together can win against the bullying as Barbara says, they could get past their fears and do what is right. They need to start talking to one another - but I imagine he has them paranoid about that as well.

I don't disagree, but I think they've all been told to tow the line - or else bad things "may" happen to their families. Trump pulled Bolton's Secret Service detail and there are credible threats to his life from Iran. GOP Congressmen and women have seen Trump's disregard for the lives of people who served him and his administration.

This is true... It might mean you are put in danger or in harms way, but the alternative of ever being in bondage to the narcissist is worse, in my opinion. Paralyzing fear weakens you to nothing and you lose all the way around. Fear with Courage allows you an option - you may not know the outcome of being courageous, but you will be doing the right thing. And when you are in a position where your action or inaction impacts the lives of millions of people, you have no right to be afraid and cave in to pressure or threats.
