Here's one fact on which (hopefully, who knows) we can all agree: As of this writing, the 2018 elections are a little less than 18 months away.

If you are a GOP congressperson and you think Trump is now irreparably damaged (or worse) -- I know, talk radio won't entertain that possibility, but you have your comfy congressional job to save -- wouldn't it be better to just get this over with, and try to (a) stop the bleeding and (b) try to regain some party momentum for 2018 by dumping the guy?

The numbers say Trump can't be impeached, but that's only if the GOP hangs together. I think we all know a professional politician's first priority is not the country or their constituents, it's re-election.

Isn't it just time to get this over with and try to regain your 2016 mojo before the 2018 elections?

It's funny that everyone is so convinced that the leftist attack campaign has worked. These guys will always cry and moan, no matter what. I don't understand why the republicans should dump Trump and suffer exactly the same fate as him next, given that they have one quarter of the balls, it wouldn't take long. Do you think they will run out of false allegations any time soon - ROFLMAO of course not!

Nah, the republicans must unite with Trump to defeat the fake news. Giving them anything is just more ammunition to the enemy.

i'm more concerned at the the precedence we set if we stomp our foot and toss out elected officials cause hollywood hates them. cause liberals must have their way. and hell, just because "mob mentality".

as long as liberals are willing to make up RUSSIA crap and shit it out daily like a regular turd then whatever they're mad at needs to stay for no other reason than they need to realize you don't always get what you want and at times, you need to work with people you don't like or agree with for the greater good.

not mental masturbation participation.

Can that really be done?

It can be done, but the question is one of will. It will be interesting to see how Trump reacts to the massive propaganda campaign.... will he stay strong or give in.

Yeah, that's a good point. A dangerous precedent. My personal nightmare scenario is playing out in real time: Trump is in such trouble so quickly that the Democrat party won't even NEED to go through its badly-needed Reformation. The Regressive Left is now waiting in the wings, licking its chops.

But whether I'm right or wrong, we're talking about professional politicians here. Trump either helps their re-election chances or hurts them, and that's their primary calculus.

Trump’s Worst Nightmare Comes True
May 18, 2017


Politico: “Under terms of his appointment by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Mueller will have wide powers to investigate ‘any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump’ and—beyond that—’any matters’ that arise from the investigation, including perjury and obstruction of justice.”


“The wide scope suggests an inquiry that is almost certain to last for years, given the history of these sorts of investigations, and will have an unpredictable impact on near year’s congressional midterm elections and the early jockeying in the 2020 presidential campaign.
There are likely to be strains between Mueller’s inquiry and those being conducted on Capitol Hill, especially if congressional investigators want to give immunity to targets of Mueller’s investigation in exchange for their testimony, which would complicate the former FBI director hopes of ever obtaining criminal convictions.”
 
Conservatives argue that Trump was joking about obstructing an investigation and the GOP majority leader was joking about Putin paying Trump.

And you say there's no conservative Daily Show.


House majority leader to colleagues in 2016: ‘I think Putin pays’ Trump
Speaker Ryan responded: ‘What’s said in the family stays in the family.’ GOP leaders now cast exchange as ‘an attempt at humor.’

The 2018 election will have the Trump treason Investigation as a sound track...

i don't get it - really.

media tells me how trump fucks up daily
liberals tell me hes' a fuck up and can't get anything right

given this - why the need to make shit up to pile on? if he's so bad you'd not need to but they do. with glee.

it's pretty fucking pathetic - and remember, not a trump fan. trump neutral at best. but we can't simply do this to people and think it's ok.

i don't care how much of an ass he is.
 
The establishment doesn't like a non-pol as POTUS. As such, he must go. Setting a wonderful precedent by and for the ruling class.

Blood in the water. They really, really hate this guy, on a personal, visceral level.

Plus he's attacked the media's "objectivity" with both barrels, and it's World War III for them.

That's where we are, it won't change, and the GOP has to consider this for 2018.

the orange hued shitgibbon is mortally wounded , he will be hard pressed to find any competent people willing to serve in his failed administrattion
and i can count on you to be objective in your views.
got it.
How about Hillary Clinton's pedophile porno pizza place how come the "media never talks about that one " lol

no - i understand that. trump fell a few more spots for me yesterday with his whole NO ONE HAS BEEN PICKED ON MORE THAN ME???

well ya tardball no one has shot off their mouth more than you either.

i get the hate, 100%. but you can't change the rules of the game cause you *hate* someone. if that's possible then a lot of people hated obama. you had the usual cry of IMPEACH that both sides lob out to show their side they ain't "skeered" of the word but it's stupid.

i wish to GOD either the media or trump would grow the fuck up but neither is going to happen. given that now what? let the whiners win to stop them from whining? isn't that what we do to kids?

as for the medias objectivity - i'll attack that shit daily. they ARE biased and they ARE in attack mode and they DO feel it's their job to tell us how to think and feel.

FUCK THAT.

again - "we need our weaves - i don't wear them, but we need them!" if you don't understand that then youtube it and look for the real video and look for what CNN did to the video to present their narative.

katie couric - gun control. that bitch has no objective bone in her body.

they want to believe that how they feel is so righteous that they can do what no one else can cause their motives are good, others bad.

that action is bad. to allow it then what? you appease a crying kid cause he's crying that's all he's ever going to do and right now we're going through a generation of kids who cried their way through every thing they didn't like and were given a binky to shut them up vs. make them learn how life works.

enough people voted for trump and their capability for violence in return is greater than the anti-fa crap and their mini baseball bats and wine bottles with m80s in them. it won't be pretty as this may be the point that forces some form of internal war/fight among ourselves.

if that happens, count me on the side of the constitution 100%.

i don't think even the ones who pass themselves of as "valid" ever brought that to the light of day. CNN toyed with Pee-gate but in the end even backed off that one.

there's a lot of asshole sites out there that makes hit up just so people will run with it. all sides.

but as for trump - seems to me he only wants to be on the camera so he does all this shit so he is. if you want to hurt someone who begs to be seen, stop showing him

but trump and the media is some jacked up symbiotic relationship. he gets on tv, they get hits.

Probably not.

YOu see, the real problem that most GOP Congressmen have is the real danger to their jobs is not losing to a Democrat in November. Districts are drawn in such a way that 80% of Republican seats are safe.

The real danger to them is getting bounced in a primary where only 10% of the electorate shows up. And if they aren't kissing Don Trumpino's ring, they are likely to get hit.

Now, I think there will be a point where they will have to impeach Trump. or at least encourage him to resign. But we aren't there yet.

Republicans are probably screwed either way. Nixon's resignation didn't save the GOP in 1974, they lost 49 seats in the House and 4 in the Senate.

I'm not convinced what's happening will actually help Dimocrats. I'm betting a lot of Republicans are now more furious than ever for the non-stop anti-Trump barrage by the Dims and their media cohorts.
