(25,183 posts)of the GOP faithful will have any effect on them. Right now, Fox News is pooh-poohing the testimonies, and they are doing their level best to keep the deplorables on board.
If GOP Senators fear a backlash from those voters, they will keep parrotting the "yeah, improper, but not impeachable" theme.

(4,428 posts)Right, wrong, legal, illegal, these words have no meaning to them. Holding on to Power is all that matters.
As long as GOP and Trump supporters are willing to deny and ignore the reality of this, they will as well. Its as simple as that.

(22,156 posts)the drumbeats of corruption remain too hard to conceal and the stink of the corruption (incompetent too) is plastered all over everyone involved.
Many good people have come out of the woodwork (the 'swamp' according to rump), and testified to the corruption. Thank god that there are people who really do care about this Country. The others, I'm shaking my head at all of them, and wondering where the hell they were at when this crap was going on, right in front of them too. Where were they?
