... D. Trump. He is a traitor who sold out his country.

Was this some of the information that McConnell blocked from the public knowing in 2016?

"The first intimations that Trump might harbor a dark secret originated among America’s European allies, which, being situated closer to Russia, have had more experience fending off its nefarious encroachments. In 2015, Western European intelligence agencies began picking up evidence of communications between the Russian government and people in Donald Trump’s orbit. In April 2016, one of the Baltic states shared with then–CIA director John Brennan an audio recording of Russians discussing funneling money to the Trump campaign. In the summer of 2016, Robert Hannigan, head of the U.K. intelligence agency GCHQ, flew to Washington to brief Brennan on intercepted communications between the Trump campaign and Russia."

1. I've long thought the same thing, but I think it will take longer than 18 months.

And that Chait article is terrifying.

[FM123]

2. That is such a great nymag article! Long, but certainly worth the read.

[wryter2000]

3. I hope you're right

Maybe the Repigs will finally do the right thing and throw him out on his ass

[JI7]

4. No , he will have the same bigoted supporters

[Sneederbunk]

5. Republicans are standing in line to sell out the country.

[Squinch]

6. I give him till March.

[Doodley]

7. We need a blue wave. When Trump is an electoral liability, his presidency will unravel as

more and more rats jump ship and create turmoil within the Republican Party, so 18 months is possible.

[aikoaiko]

8. Trump and his crew bring a whole new meaning to the term "judgment proof"

His core supporters will never turn on him as long as he is disrupting the status quo.

[malaise]

9. K & R

For truth

[progressoid]

10. People have been saying that for 2 years.

With just a couple exceptions, Republicans have been more than supportive of his actions.

[sharedvalues]

11. Just like Nixon

[JHB]

12. This time they'll use stovepipe hats and fake chin beards...

...instead of tricorns and Gadsden flags.

It'll be like the stoning scene in 'Life of Brian':

"Are there any Trump voters here?"

"MAGA! **hrum hrumm** <begin William F. Buckley Yalie prick voice> Good heavens, man, certainly not. Well, at least none worth speaking of."

[CentralMass]

13. We need majorities in both houses and leadership that will investigate the GOP congress.

[yonder]

14. "My prediction within 1 year to 18 months nobody will want to be seen w/or associated with tRump"

including his fellow inmates, I can only hope.

His schtick has got to be wearing thin for at least some of his supporters. Once the GOP has squeezed the last ounce of usefulness out of him, perhaps as soon as this SCOTUS appointment, they'll suddenly "see the light" of 2020 and turn their backs on him in order to appear more moderate. Or not. Gosh, I'm sick of his clown show.

[AdamGG]

17. I'd like to think this, but his approval among Republicans has improved over time

The Democrats desperately need to take Congressional majorities that will investigate and rub the country's nose in the dog shit that is Trump.

[world wide wally]

15. I haven't wanted to have anything to do with him for the past 3 years

[Honeycombe8]

16. I don't think they'll care that Trump got $$$ from Russia.

Hell, it seems as if the GOP got money from Russia, too. And the NRA is funded by Russia. They seem to all be knee deep in Russian money.

It's all about money, now. Money over country.
