Cracks In Support 

Former president Trump might have a lock on Republican voters but a key constituency has begun to show cracks in supporting him.  These are people who served under him -- notably former AG Bill Barr, former national security adviser John Bolton and Trump's chief of staff, John Kelly.  These were men who supported Trump to the end and are now distancing themselves.  They have come to understand that Trumps' narcissism is dangerous to democracy.  And, they are vocal.  They are not hiding their dislike for his behavior.  They are forming a tiny but potentially powerful communications group.  It remains to be seen whether their views gain traction in the months to come, but they are first-person witnesses to Trump's behavior and that is damaging enough.
