Data comes in there will be a steady flow of damning direct illegal financial crimes that among other things will trigger grand jury action by state prosecutors.

The fact is that the interests of the donor class for the Republicans simply don't share a level of support for Trump.

Romney has already announced that he isn't endorsing Trump in 2020, a sign I think that the traditional donors are going to hold back.

Business leaders know that they can make excellent profits under Democratic leadership, they just can't get the special exclusive benefits they can with the Republicans. They would rather have stability, even with higher taxes than daily chaos.

The lower class voters will not abandon Trump but they are not going to fund Senate campaigns either. This conflict has already become an issue with WinRed, the WH effort to monopolize the fund raising. Republican Senators and Congressmen are simply not going along.

Republican Senators are going to be compliant only through the primaries and then they will be committed to their own self intetest.
