The vast majority of the GOP feels so strongly about this...
...that they are willing to do whatever it takes to stop the spread of the Liberal poison. Sure, perverting the election system and colluding with a foreign power is regrettable; but preventing socialized medicine, cutting regulation on businesses, and preserving the tax cut is way more important. That's what they call LIBERTY! After all, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
"Extremism in the defense of Liberty is no vice." No matter what they have to do, I'm sure they will be able to find a rationalization for it.
