One email? Versus 33,000 emails from Hillary?
Ho-hum...
If the Democrats had been able to get the "dossier" against Trump, they would have not declined it. What is the difference?
This may seem like a big story to many of us but it is not likely to move the needle with Trump's base?
Thirteen sticks of dynamite would not move them.
But, as it has been all along, it is up to us to save the Republic. Don't expect any help from the other side.

Welcome to DU by the way!

(4,428 posts)They have their position. All the facts in the world will not change it. Support for Trump and climate denialism are both emotion and tribe based. Facts are seen as threats.
That's why the "fake news" cry is so popular with them. And it is no coincidence that Trump supporters are almost all climate deniers.

I am seeing signs that some Trump voters are seriously regretting their vote or getting there. The stench of treason is growing heavier around and maybe on Trump. I would hope that Trump voters who are patriots first will turn on him once it is clear he sold the country out.
