Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[BirkenheadBlue]

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?

28% is still better than nothing.

Oh I don’t disagree. But there is still a segment of people within the “self-identifying independent” group for whom stuff like this will just keep pushing them away.

Negative stuff also suppressed the vote for the side affected. It might not make them switch to the other side, but it might make them stay home, which is almost as good.

And IF they lose heavily in November, the chances of defections away from Trump increases exponentially

Yes, that would be the decisive moment. Which is, perhaps, as it should be.

I'm not so sure how triumphant November will be though.... it is difficult to overstate the impact of dark money and voter-suppression and gerrymandering.

In 2012, for instance, the Democrats won nearly 1.5 million more votes than the Republicans, but 33 fewer House seats.

It's difficult to consider yourself a modern country when that can transpire without a whimper...

Oh it won’t be nearly as much of a landslide as it should be given the prevailing winds, but I think it’s more likely than not that congress flips, even if not by a wide margin

It’s times like this I really wish they didn’t take away the rolleyes smilie.

That little guy summed up my thoughts so utterly perfectly

I'm not entirely sure what all of this means.

Is what Trump did illegal, and what are the consequences to him and his presidency?

Nobody knows. It would likely be illegal, were he not the President. But he is, so all bets go out the window. It is not inconceivable to envision a constitutional crisis down the road.

There won't be some legal deus ex machina though... it will all hinge on politics.

I'm a bit concerned about it as his base are religiously supportive of him, and if he were to be impeached, what the reaction would be there.

Cohen's lawyer said this in CNBC last night:

Cohen's attorney just told Maddow that Cohen will cooperate with Mueller and "now feels liberated to tell the truth about Trump

"not just about the obvious possibility of a conspiracy to collude and corrupt the American democracy system in the 2016 election which the Trump Tower meeting was all about, but also knowledge about the computer crime of hacking and whether or not Mr. Trump knew ahead of time about that crime and even cheered it on"

Goalposts have moved a lot from “vote Trump to drain the swamp”


The flagrant abuses by multiple members of Trump’s cabinet along with the indictments of the first two GOP congressmen who supported Trump (for insider trading and campaign fraud) are likely to be a very strong message in the 2018 elections.

 

[RAFUH]

Even if the GOP maintains control of Congress, this is not the sort of thing that could just be ignored. It is blatant, as is his guilt.

Congressional republicans

America really is the stupidest country in the world, no question.
