Trump Nightmare: Could Impeachment Evidence Turn GOP Against Him Like Nixon? | MSNBC

The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.

Could evidence of corruption turn corrupt politicians? I don’t think so.

[dawood]

Nowadays, corruption is tolerated as long as your benefits are secured.

[mokthemagicman]

The difference between Trump and Nixon is that Nixon didn't have Fox news giving Trump talking points to manipulate the public

Just goes to prove the average intelligence of the common American has dropped since Nixon.

[orlandobeard]

They don't give a dry fart about evidence. 😕

[gelatinskeleton]

Why are we pretending the GOP has anything that resembles a backbone? These discussions are a waste of oxygen at this point.

[thorgodofthunder]

It remains to be seen if we will ever be able to see what's in the secret server where the REAL transcripts are stored..

[michaelangelos]

They're going to turn on him like a pack of rabid dogs.
Or, they're going to go down with his ship.
Signed, a former Republican.

[ghettodaboy]

Not just impeach, he should be prosecuted after his presidency.

[Brett_S_]

Let's see what is on Trump's server!

[marcuskuhnert]

I will never understand how somebody with an average IQ and self respect can support Trump ... I really don’t

[jamesfrank]

I want to see what Lev Parnas has on Trump, Rudy, and Devin...

[ScottishRoyal]

Unfortunately not. They will put party over country every time.

[algiersc]

My answer to the title: No. These repubs will let him do whatever he wants and will NEVER call him on his BS. Also his supporters seem to love his mangling of the English language and his inability to speak in a coherent and intelligent manner.

[tenerifecats]

The real question: WHAT are they hiding behind this dog and pony show? This smoke and mirrors is huge!

[micheletwilkinson-penningt]

The facts won't change the trumpists or party of trump one iota. THAT'S the horror of all this.

[jesuisravi]

Short answer to the title question: No. Long answer: Depends where the money is.

[THRASHRZz]

the alt right doesn’t care about facts. what’s it matter?
