Are the Republicans in the senate starting to turn on Trump?

When the Democrats won the house everything changed. Trump lost his biggest protection and his cover, the Republican tea party house. Trump has been exposed for who he really is. An idiot who lives in a world of play acting. Remember when we were kids and we pretended to be super heroes? Trump never stopped pretending. Trump is a fucking mentally ill weirdo.

Trump back stabbed the republicans in the senate which led to the shutdown. He put their elections at risk. He lost some of his base because of the shutdown.

Trump got rid of the generals that gave the Republicans in the senate a sense of protection. That's gone and I believe they are now very worried about national security.

Now Trump has to make decisions without protection and cover. He is not capable. He will make big mistakes. Trump is an idiot and he will no longer be able to fool anyone.

The chances of conviction grow stronger.

... no choice but vote Trump out and one of the few things protecting Trump is that so many of them have been and or still on Vlad's test.

Trump could turn out to be Putin’s best agent - and if exposed - as long as his base supports him, so will they. If his poll numbers drop to dangerous levels, they will drop him. But it is not loyalty it is personal self interest that drives politicians...

then and only then we will know for sure. Another would be a string of Retirement's and not seeking reelection.
