In any other admin this would be a huge scandal.
in this one it os just another example of links with white nationalists.

Pity that kiss with Juncker at the White House was as non-binding an agreement as Trump’s wedding vows.
Guess we are going to have an enhanced trade war to distract from the Cohen/Manafort.

If you stop thinking that Trump is actually the president and start thinking more along the lines he is a comedian, things start making sense. He is having us all on by being the first political satirist to actually be in the White House.

The man is absolutely cooked. Not going to go quietly, should be an interesting watch.
Shep talking about his favourite recipes wasn’t enough tonight - Bret had to resort to showing puppies to cheer up his audience lol
Wouldn’t have helped the president though if he was watching as he doesn’t like dogs!

The thing that’s always omitted when they quote his popularity amongst Republicans is that the number of people self identifying as Republicans is at a historic low ebb.Maybe. But I doubt anything will happen before the election, at the earliest. That, for the GOP, is the more immediate threat.
Trump is historically popular among his own party
(and the fact that Bush Jr. was higher still - after systematically ignoring the entire intelligence community's warnings about Al-Qaeda, then using the ensuing disaster to shred the constitution, declare permanent war against a noun, and provoke the most costly and counter-productive foreign policy error since Vietnam against an unrelated third country - should be instructive)
Trump's preferred candidates have been sweeping the GOP primaries. The GOP can't even stop literal Confederates from winning high-income high-education states like Virginia.
His supporters (including even those on here, who should really know better) will be perfectly happy to chalk up today's verdicts as the further machinations of the Deep State.
Abandoning the Dear Leader at his time of need would be unforgivable, the absolute worst kind of treason. Never mind the threat to their careers - somebody would probably try to murder them.
I wouldn't expect anything to happen before November unless the polls appear to change, and I can't see what's happened today that would prompt that.

Sure, but when it comes to how this will play out politically, what does that matter? GOP Congressmen cannot win without the support of GOP voters, and GOP voters still wildly support Trump.
I doubt in the short term at least that the verdicts change much.
This is why we are seeing responses like this:

It matters massively to how it’ll play out in November.
Having a 90% approval amongst 28% of the country (the last % I saw that self identify as Republicans) is far less impressive than having a 90% approval amongst 50% of the country (which is what people often assume that approval figure represents)

And they might well lose heavily in November as a result, but it still doesn't make sense for them to turn against Trump. They still can't win without that 28%.
Are Democrats and Independents who loathe Trump going to vote for Republicans who are only just now turning against him? Or are they going to vote for Democrats?
A ferociously motivated 28% is still better than nothing. And remember, close to 40% of the eligible public won't show up at all.
