With each new flip, there are cable "expert" yakkers saying that it's something but not *that* bad, maybe worthy of a slap on the wrist blah blah. This despite COHEN and PECKER clearly saying they did stuff at SHITLER's request or directive. Seems like indicting SHITLER is inevitable, especially since the political alternative of impeachment can't sway the Senate Repukes to conviction. How much is enough?!1

(82,849 posts)We still need more, however. But things are trending in the right direction, and it's up to we, the people of the United States, to impress on our elected officials just how serious we think this is. Even the most hidebound Republican loyalist is going to be calculating his odds in 2020 based on what his reading of the electorate tells him. Fox News can only do so much heavy lifting, and even they are hedging their comments right now.
The Senate map for 2020 is worse for Republicans than 2018 was for Democrats, and all things considered, the Democrats did exceedingly well in 2018 to defend as many seats as they did. The Republicans don't have a building wave of electoral momentum, and staying the course isn't likely to win them additional supporters. At least, not in numbers that they're going to need. It may be enough for some of those at-risk Senate Republicans to do the unthinkable and think about turning on Deadbeat Donny. Retiring Senators like Flake and Corker aren't going to make much of a ripple (which is why they feel like they can tell the truth at last). But if a couple of Republicans who aren't ending their Senate careers speak up, it could be the tripwire for a cascade of defections.
But it's up to us to make them feel the pressure.
