That clearly shows what Trump did is wrong
Once that hits the media Trump is done

The lock-her-upers must be losing their st-t over this!
Except they're not, because they never cared about the servers - they just hated Hillary

Gerrymanders don't matter in the Senate. The primary concern is real, but if it looks like they'd just lose in the general, it should be a little less of a consideration.

Yes, but Fox News/Murdoch is said to be turning on Trump. I hope it's true.

He told a reporter that he would accept dirt of on a political rival from a foreign country. So why are we shocked that he does it? He says his base would be with him if he shot a guy on 5th Avenue - so why are we are we surprised when he does the political equivalent and expects his support to hold. He told us he likes the Chinese system of president for life. Why would we not believe that he would not in a clumsy fashion attempt to bring this about here? This is also why I don’t actually think he will get us into a war with Iran or anyone else proactively- he has told us he doesn’t have a neocon bent
But “sophisticated” Trump voters tell us to ignore his words and focus on what his presidency accomplishes. Well, you can’t ignore his word - it is who he is. He is open about it. And until the American voter stands up and says “that is not who I want as president”, he will continue doing these types of things. And the elected republicans will go along with it because they believe that is what their voters want. I would like to think I would be different if the tables were turned and Trump were a democratic president who was enacting health care reform and was an abhorrent human being. But given the polarization of the country, I am not sure how I would respond. How long would I defend the indefensible? I don’t know but I think I am going to find out by watching my republican friends.

While I don't agree with anything the Republicans stand for, I do believe most of them are true patriots. They know Trump is poison, and they're waiting breathlessly for the moment when they can turn on him.
It's going to happen. And the sooner the better -- if he's impeached before Thanksgiving, they have a chance of running someone (NOT Pence) next year.
They could've turned on him whenever they wanted. He's dirty as hell. If they wanted to ruin him they could've. They didn't think they needed to. And then, they never thought he'd win.
Supporting him has always been what their constituents wanted. But that may be changing.
They have been elected, and they are supposed to be leaders. It is a two-way job. One part is to take to Washington what their people need; the other part is to take information they gather in Washington back to their constituents and tell them about it, lead them, give their constituents their opinion on what is to be done about it and to do so persuasively. If a Republican Senator believes Trump should be impeached, it is that Senator's duty to share the information back home persuasively, not let Fox News fill in the void and do their job for them, then shake their heads in wonder that their constituents reached an unbelievable opinion. They elected the person, they trust the person to be their leader, and they are highly likely to follow them. Trust your constituents to trust you. If they don't, then the person wasn't going to survive in the district anyway.
