I don't think so, really. It's surprisingly rare for politicians to face blowback for pushing stuff that later turned out to be obviously terrible. Everyone was pretty much pretending Strom Thurmond wasn't awful right up to his death, say.

I wonder why? Is the same phenomenon at play with Trump's approval rating? It's been in the high-mid-30s for many weeks now [1]. 80+ consecutive days at the time of this writing. Even outside of Russia-related scandals (like hiring Mike Flynn [3]), he has done some obviously bad things (like the Billy Bush tape [2]).
