it took approx. 2 years and the GOPs at that time were still supporting Nixon until they could not any more due to obvious facts and of course, John Dean. Even then, only a few finally realize that Nixon had to resign and advised him so.

This time, majority of the GOPs have and are still committing treason.

Anywho, I think fake news (Murdoch) see the writing on the "hall" and it ain't in their favor or profit making.

Maybe, just maybe, some small-but-not-insignificant percentage of the billionaires who've propped up 45 thus far are beginning to feel their investment in Trumpland is now on a collision course with "real reality," and that the "Trump brand" is tarnishing faster than what Hannity, et al, are able to polish up every evening on Fox Pravda.

Here's hoping, anyway.

trade war and undermining of relationships with NATO and our trade partners is threatening to wreck the economy and cut into their profits, so they are ready to withdraw support.

Which has a never ending market in this country.

They NEVER do well when they are in power, cause they don't give a shit about civil service, government is only a means to 1) raid the tax payer dollars 2) enact their morality on other people. They never actually solve anything, while blowing shit up.

Dems win one chamber of congress and they will be back in their wheelhouse, playing the role of victim. Poor Trumpy, just the dems hating him and being PARTISAN! Same song and dance for my entire adult life (three plus decades)

This shit does not end until this country sees conservatism for the blight it is, and stops indulging right wing fuck wittery.

or maybe they're trolls pretending to be supporters.

They are furious with trump for not shutting down Mueller and "the deep state." They are threatening to not support or vote for trump again because he's letting the witch hunt continue.

are a reason that Mueller's support has grown over the past few weeks.

Yes Kristol has done a lot of bad shit in the past, but he's on the right side on this issue.

He is still who he always was and would foist the likes of Sara Palin on us again if it suited his purposes.

He just doesn’t like that he’s lost influence on the Republican Party. I may be wrong but I think he was one of the signatories on PNAC.

These are your grandfather's Republicans. Republicans that actually hated Russia, deficits, loved law and order. George Will and Bill Krystol Republicans. Not to be confused with the fly-by-night Trump GOP, who are naked opportunists, crooked to the core, and will wipe their asses with the Constitution.
