[b]The weekend news will boost Trump in the eyes of his base[/b]. The Senators have good reason to stay silent, they are well aware that for now, despite the stark evidence of impeachable offenses, voting to remove him from office could oust them...which is, in the end, all they care about.

The leak about Sondland confirming that there was a quid pro quo?  Or the World Series or the fires?

What weekend news did I miss?[/quote]

ISIS Leader's death[/quote]
Did killing bin Laden boost  Obama's image in their eyes?  I don't think it did.[/quote]

I meant that Trump's base solidifies any time their President does something remotely macho, and they have shown themselves to be impervious so far to the drip-drip of impeachment depositions. This may change. Trump's future as President is really at risk, but for the moment I still think odds are more than 50% that he will stay in office.

Trump R support has been above 85% the whole time.  Only way he gets impeached is if that number starts to drop.  Pelosi does the same thing on the D side.  They are all driven by polls because they are politicians and they only matter if they stay elected.[/quote]

PP you replied to.
I disagree. You make it sound as if both sides are using the same tactics and have the same polling. They don't.

Trump is the President, and he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors as defined in the Constitution. That is not debatable. What is debatable is whether the people will want to remove him from office, and/or re-elect him. 
Republicans who do not have Fox News as their only source of news are actually only 55% against impeachment, instead of the higher number among Republicans who watch Fox News exclusively. A lot watch Fox News exclusively! The Democrats have no such relationships of loyalty with left-leaning media, and none of the major news media allows as many lies/truth omissions and biased reporting as Fox News. By far.

The truth is that a large portion of Trump's base is not being told the truth by their preferred media, but they are persuaded that it is the only reliable source of facts, and therefore won't change opinion in the near future, unless Fox decides to cut off Trump. I don't see that happening, but if it did, it would be a complete game changer.
