Inching Away 

 More Republican Senators are inching away from President Trump and admitting that Trump lost the election.  They have stayed silent till now because they are afraid of millions of Trump voters.  They have only themselves to blame for the vise in which they find themselves.  Had they stood up in the beginning and acknowledged his defeat, the pressure might have subsided by now. But they didn't and Trump has continued to claim he won but for fraud.  From a PR perspective, it would have been better for the country and democracy had the Republican Senate and Minority House chambers gone on record accepting Biden's win.  Trump then would be isolated and public support for him starting to erode.  But, since they were craven, they now have to live with an aroused electorate, which might be a potent force for the next four years.  It's a sad situation for the Elephant party, and there is little chance of it getting better.
