In all honesty, Trump and his cohorts are extremely lucky the likes of Rubio, McCain and company have absolutely zero backbone.
The longer this goes on, the more I expect the center republicans and center democrats to coalesce under a new democrat banner.

Earlier in the conference he was crying that by comparison Obama had 12 cabinet members confirmed at the same point in his presidency. Surprisingly he didn't make any mention that the Trump administration forgot to get their ethics paperwork in for most of their nominees and that a lot of these delays are self inflicted wounds. More normalizing of lies (F alternative facts, call it what it is).
From what I heard it seemed maybe a few journos will try and hold this administration accountable but it feels unlikely.
