They grab as much cash and pass as many laws as they can to make the folks back home (and corporate donors) happy. If Trump is a liability to their reelection, they'll get rid of him. If more and more people continue to show up to town hall meetings and express displeasure over the direction in Washington or Trump's shenanigans, Congress will have bipartisan support in impeachment.

But he also serves a purpose for them: he deflects attention from them entirely. He makes them look great in comparison. They will keep him around long enough to shove through some legislation that they know will be generally unpopular.

It is a dangerous game. But Congress has always been full of gamblers.
