Just a hunch but i think Trump jumped the shark on Ukraine.

[yellowcanine]

Yeah i know we have thought this before but this feels different. Just a hunch.

1. This one is easy for people to understand. Whether they care is another question.

[Evolve Dammit]

5. Bingo! Like he said in 2016: "I could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue.."

And the base could care less. How many millions is that again (40?)

[Sienna86]

2. I think you're right

This may be the final straw.

[safeinOhio]

3. Not yet.

Just a little more.

12. It's the first time we've seen McConnell get off his ass and do something in response.

(I.e. approving the additional funds for election security). He's obviously more worried about this one than anything in the past.

4. This is the issue that will bring him down. But no impeachment. nt

7. I wish I could believe that.

Throughout 2017, I thought Republicans in Congress would see just how toxic Trump is and want him gone long before the 2018 midterms. I thought they'd see the inevitable loss of the House, and possibly even the Senate, and take steps to stop the rot before it got too far.

Most of them probably knew full well how badly 2018 would go for their party. Many of them probably wouldn't have been sorry to see Trump out of the White House. The problem is the primary system. Trump's base wouldn't care if he ate a bowl of homestyle kitten stew on live television. And Republicans can't win their primaries without it. It's too small to carry many Republicans in general elections, but they'd never get to the general election without placating it.

Until Republicans accept the fact that their party can only survive if it suffers major losses in 2020, thereby defanging this execrable base, they'll have to have their heads so far up Trump's butt that they can see his vocal chords.

8. It felt different 25 feelings ago, too. And yet, there he still is n/t

[AlexSFCA]

9. I wouldn't be surprised if no one remembers this by the end of next week

another scandal, cabinet member replacement, resignation, ivanka scandal, etc.

[William Seger]

10. I remember having that very strong feeling once

... but there's been so much shit, I can't even remember now what it was about.

[Poiuyt]

15. The scandals come at us by firehose

[FakeNoose]

11. He sent Rudy to do the dirty work

... so now we know who gets thrown under the bus when the time comes.

[Blue_true]

13. Trump jumps the shark on everything.

Except for bankruptcies, lies and wives, there are so many of those that he can walk his orange ass across (or use a golf cart, which he would).

[Lucky Luciano]

14. I think he will make his best and final offer for Greenland.

You know something like that is coming.

[Catch2.2]

16. Depends...

We'll see if the Dems actually grow a backbone and od the right thing this time!

[CaptainTruth]

17. Plus, if there's a recording of the conversation we have a strong precedent in US v Nixon.

US v Nixon, 1974, 9-0 SCOTUS decision that Nixon must comply with a subpoena & turn over the Watergate recordings.

Let's just hope there are Trump-Zelensky recordings, & they're subpoenaed.

[dchill]

18. What matters is whether the shark...

...jumps him.

[Poiuyt]

19. I don't think so

Republicans don't care what he does, and Nancy seems pretty locked in to not impeaching him. If she were to start pushing for impeachment, I feel that most Dems would follow her lead.
