We’re getting to the point where even the Republicans are fed up. Trump’s seriously fucking with their re-election odds. That’s really the only line Republicans draw. Eventually, they’ll decide risking a President Pence is better than keeping Trump.
Then they’ll lose the White House in 2020 anyway, since it’s becoming more clear to even seriously loyalist conservatives that Trump’s nothing more than a malignant tumor with a combover and a big mouth.

Unfortunately I think Trump can still spin all these Republicans turning against him. If he and Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, etc. can convince enough of the public that this is "outsider" Trump being a maverick, and that the Republicans turning against him are insiders who are actually against the average American, he should still be able to keep enough of a following. They want to believe in Trump. They've sold themselves on his lies up until now, they only need
I don't think the deciding factor in 2020 will be how many Republicans turn against Trump. It will be how many non-voters turn out to vote Democrat. The only way Republicans turning on Trump hurts him is if those Republicans turn their efforts to getting people to turn up at the polls to vote Democrat.

He's already turned on Hannity. How long until he pisses them off enough that even they stop trying to [graphic and unseemly acts that only have a place in the bedroom]?

Hannity (and his ilk) will turn on Trump when Hannity's core listeners turn on Trump. Which won't happen as long as Trump is president and keeps playing into the fear and hatred that Trump supporters are fueled by. Trump can say or do whatever he wants to the ultra conservative media, as long as their audience wants Trump, they'll bow to him.
"Yes, our guy is the literal corpse of Stalin with the brains of Hitler, reanimated to unholy unlife through a blood sacrifice to Satan, but their guy voted against a tax decrease for the rich and has suggested there may be limits to weapon possession rights, so he's a filthy commie who wants to destroy America!"
gofundme a wall? That's brilliant! If I had thought of that, I could've been much further along by now. I've only laid about half a kilometre of bricks along the Lake Erie shoreline so far.
And this got buried yesterday

They've already picked their target for the time being: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
She seems to be handling it just fine.
I don't think so. I think she is an easy target for them is all. She represents the left in a way that aligns with the cartoonish idea the right has in their minds. (not to say that she is cartoonish.)
Seeing this clip it's hard to believe that these two were part of the same political party Trump is.
The way the Patriots are playing, the Lions could beat them.
(Because it's a rule that the AFC must be represented by Brady or Rothlissberger in the Superb Owl.)
Fixed. (You can tell I've been watching too many Days of Our Steelers, can't you?)
Does he know he can't go to Florida if the government is shut down? Like, this has already happened.
I like how you think this is anything but BS for his base to distract from the stock market taking a dive.
He's going to make himself more miserable in the process. I'd think if there was anything I could count on in this administration, it was Trump's selfishness. What would be in character is for him to sign the CR on Monday, in time to have ruined other government people's holidays, while he hops south unimpeded.
Calling cheeto a Republic serial villain is an insult to Republic serial villains.
We're already in partial shutdown.

This was a nice read. I guess this guy is some kind of right winger?
