exactly. We need to keep that list handy to see what they all say once the former guy becomes the nominee. Until then - sure, it's nice that they are saying negative things about the former guy. But will they keep on doing it?

Added to your last question - and why the hell did they wait so long before damning him! They should have been doing that the second he was out of office and powerless. But no, they kept silent. That said, "the enemy of my enemy is . . . " is still not my friend, but I'll take it for now.
I think Smith must have done his homework really, really well and they know it. I've considered DT an existential threat to America from the get-go. These guys thought they could control him and they couldn't. They are just now waking up to how dangerous putting an overgrown adolescent thug in power is to all of us. I think these guys know even more than they are letting on and I suspect its even worse than we know.
Agree, agree! A threat from the beginning, they thought they could control him (what the Right in Germany thought about Hitler!), and VERY likely they know more than they are letting on.
Cowards too frightened of Trump calling down his wrath on them. They haven't figured out Trump out of office only has power because nobody's got the balls to challenge him. And that includes them!
It's not about balls. They feared Trump could hurt them (and his followers could hurt their families) and their standing in the party they wanted to remain in, and they made a political calculation. That so many are challenging him now, based on the indictment, says that calculation has changed.

Why did they wait? They didn't have the Smith indictment before now.

I agree with that. Things have moved way beyond mere political calculation.
