It has hit the fan, and is spewing all over.

...Sure some people think that Trump will get away with it. He has in the past, but this one, in my opinion, is the worst. He may think he can get away with it, but he won't. When the great majority of people realize that the President contacted an adversary to get dirt on an opponent, the show will be over. Now this will take time. People will need talk to each other over and over. And listen to comments from unbiased experts.

...Trump, while President contacted an advisory, Russia, and asked to get dirt on a political opponent, Joe Biden....Trump's arrogance thinks he can get away with it. But, this will spew for a while, and when the great majority realize the essence of what Trump did, it will be over. One way or another.

Six Ways:

1..Loss of election,
2. Resignation,
3. Refusal to run again and settle down to his career at Fox News.
4. Isolation (like Nixon) but I think that is very unlikely
5. Combination of above.
6. Most unlikely: Charged with a crime, then resign.

1. He tried to extort Ukraine for that purpose, and Ukraine is not our adversary. Yes, we

might eventually learn that Russia was somehow involved as well, but thus far we have no actual information that indicates Russian involvement.

[ms liberty]

2. Second para, first sentence - I think you mean adversary, not advisory?

And yes, that is what I am hoping for.

[cwydro]

3. So many scandals or events were going to be the one that brings him down.

He’s still there.

Not holding my breath.

[Stuart G]

5. Yes, you are right, "He's still there." But this one is so repulsive that it will do it.

Let's think about it:
...Trump contacts the major opponent of the U.S.A., Russia, to get dirt on someone who he thinks will be his major political opponent. Joe Biden. And, evidently there is proof this was done.

Maybe Trump will get away with this too. My statements are obvious opinions.. It ain't up to me. And it will take time for this to be totally understood by most. We will see. But this will take time, one way or another.

[Hortensis]

15. Hope so, but more repulsive than conspiring with Russia

to win the election? I was sure in 2016 when it came out that Trump was surrounded with Russians and others with connections to Putin and Russian intelligence, that they'd even changed the Republican platform. I really thought that killed his candidacy dead.

Didn't. Will they react so differently now than to the same thing then? He may be a man, but he's still a Democrat, and conservative voters have their rationales long embedded.

Sorry, because I want you to be right, at least for a significant little percentage. That bundle of straw on their backs should be getting pretty heavy for some.

But, of course, initial voter response is one thing and legal consequences whole different thing...!

[Ohiogal]

4. Trump supporters won't care.

They like his policies and are getting what they want .... they don’t give a crap about all his lawlessness. In fact they are probably snickering at the “libs” for getting all worked up over the Ukraine thing right now.

[Demovictory9]

10. they wont even know about. faux news wont talk about it

[rockfordfile]

19. Trump supporters are un-American. They know he's a racist, corrupt, and un-American

They would be more than happy to flip votes illegally. They have already been caught doing it.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. Benedict Donald is caught red handed.

His manufactured Hunter Biden angle is bad, but sideshow.

Trump’s actions benefit Putin.

[Stuart G]

7. Last sentence might do it..."Trump's actions benefit Putin"

Maybe that info will get one of the 6 done. But it will take time to get across to most people. This is still current news to everyone.

[Kid Berwyn]

8. It's like 1776.

A small minority favored independence. Many liked things as they were. Many, if not most, had no opinion.

We need the Ben Franklins, Thomas Paines, Samuel Adams of our day to shout. Corporate McPravda won’t repeat what they say, but We the People can tell the truth.

[CanonRay]

9. Trump's only protection is to remain in office

without that shield, he'd be indicted and convicted. In office, he can use the levers of power (like AG Barr) to keep investigations at bay. I don't believe he will ever willingly leave office.

[Brawndo]

18. You nailed it

[QED]

11. 7. Die: his health is visibly deteriorating

[rownesheck]

13. Yes!

Hopefully it will happen live on TV while giving one of his masturbatory vomit talks. I would replay it over and over again. And then over and over again on each anniversary of his demise as I celebrate.

God I hate him.

[lame54]

17. And he falls on Pence

[Kablooie]

12. No. The scandal will hurt Biden more than Trump.

Republicans will support only Trump and Biden now has to explain and defend himself and his son even if he didnt do anything.
Trump's scandal will be soon overshadowed by another and this will be forgotten while the cloud over Biden will remain.
This is exactly what Trump wants and it will probably help his chances of winning 4 more years.

[lame54]

16. Wait one minute...

I was with you till the end

Biden losing the nomination equals a Trump reelection?

Not if Elizabeth has anything to say about it

[Kablooie]

21. I'm not sure it would affect Biden much for the nomination.

Dems who are dedicated enough to vote in the primaries are probably aware of Trump's games.
Of course Biden may not win anyway, but if he does, this would be used by Trump to damage him during the presidential campaign and it will have have a negative effect on Biden with general voters who don't keep up with all the scandal mongering.
Also it won't hurt Trump at all because his misbehavior will be lost among all the other scandals.

It's so frustrating that any slight deviation from the norm can seriously damage a Democrat while Trump completely destroys all norms and is openly criminal and it doesn't affect his popularity at all.

[lame54]

22. I think they wanted to wait till then...

But now that it is out they're pushing ahead

[rockfordfile]

20. No.

This strengthens Biden. Trump is scared

[OliverQ]

14. He will get away with it.

There is absolutely no one with any power willing to stop him.

[trof]

23. I think you meant 'adversary'?

[bluestarone]

24. He would lie even if

A whole platoon of our soldiers would get bombed!
