...he is wounded too much to help them in the future. They are no longer fearful of the base deserting them after Trump betrayed the nation the way he did.
In my opinion, they have made their decision already.
He will be impeached and convicted.

Trump will stay and Moscow Mitch (AKA 2020) doesn't have the votes to get Putin's Whore out of office.

The statement from Moscow Mitch is sourced, we're smelling our own body odors ... there's no big push by the Rs to get Red Don out before the 20th.
They're going down with this ship

(2,212 posts)The only GOP base being seen right now is the wild-eyed extremists trashing the US Capitol looking to harm people and attempt a coup on Trump's orders. If they ever want to salvage a base that is not filled with treasonous scum they will jettison Trump and his SS boys & girls real quick.
It may take a long time for the GOP to shed the stench of Trump, as it should.
