If this trial costs frump in nov, then it won't matter that the gop ignores it.

As long as the moron magats lose interest, and stay home, then it's all worth it.

The magats were claiming to be "anti-establishment." So, it comes as no surprise when he will be seen as the worst of the establishment, and lose.

I believe this trial is doing the gop severe damage, no matter how much they cheat the law.

Any decent human (of which there are many in the US) will immediately focus on the cover-up. If Trump had nothing to hide, why is he hiding so much.

While I hope for conviction and removal, I don't think that's going to happen absent an amazing piece of evidence. However, Trump and his hench-idiots are so stupid that anything is really possible with these buffoons.

Regardless, the real battle is for the hearts and minds of the USA. And, based on the polling, it's VERY clear that it's working. A majority wants removal, and super-majority wants witnesses.

Great job, Madam Speaker and House Managers! KEEP IT UP!

50% of the vote in 2016,,the media keeps taking this as "his base" nope!!! His Magats are maybe one half of his 50% the rest were farmers,,independents, people who just didn't like Hillary,or believed his BS.Now 3 years after, those "side votes are mostly gone.", understand that the "MAGATS" are truly less than 25% of the voting public. I'll give Frump his base today and believe in my heart,,he will only get 20% of the rest of 50% he won,,and more voters will come forward that didn't vote then. And he will lose in a landside. Rigged?
The only way to avoid a rigged election is to make the results too far to effect or challenge,, the Asshole is doing half our work. Just Fricking Vote... .......

the rubber hits the road. What will really cost Trump in November is personal economic setbacks that people blame on him. He is the most corrupt president ever, but if people have not suffered personally because of his policies, we are in for a rough election.

He brings out the worst in the American voter.

You're right about the economy, however. It won't be crashing soon, and that's a plus for him in November. Although, apparently gas prices jumped 60 cents in the Midwest, and my HS friends are screaming bloody murder about it.

I remember in 2007-2008, things went to hell in sonething like 3 months. There is a lot of money out there and banks and investment houses are doing stupid stuff with it. That has been going on for three years and signs of cracks are becoming more evident.

Because if they do, this trial won't cost Trump and the GOP is ignoring it because they have been assured their impotent positions filled with perks are secure.
