This was said about Nixon too, and Trump is the modern Nixon. If GOP Senators feel threatened, the calculus will change fast. If not, then it will left to posterity to address this properly … or not.
Personally, I think Trump would be okay with being impeached and convicted, it he is then able to parlay that into a Trump Network to rival Fox. He hates this job, and he's not making money like he expected.
He is in way over his head. Some people find a thrill in an intellectual challenge, as I do... Trump lacks the temperament and the preparation.
