The evidence that has been made public demonstrates that the Russians did interfere with the election, extensively. Right now, here in PA, they are actually looking into the possibility that voting machines, and vote totals, were hacked from outside. But even the Republicans have had to concede, and figure out how to handle, the mountain of evidence of their interference, and now, the individual connections of Trump campaign officials, eight of them by the most recent count, who had multiple direct contacts with the individuals on the Russian end who have been identified as having been involved. Among them, Michael Flynn and Carter Page, pretty close to the buffoon himself, and Flynn is already trying to negotiate immunity in exchange for testimony. Flynn appears to have been the key contact, as his name surfaces almost daily regarding the evidence being made public by the FBI.
When either a direct connection to the buffoon, or the establishment of his awareness of what was happening, is made, and I believe it will be, then the Republicans will be on the horns of a dilemma. Will they have the wherewithal and the integrity to do the right thing and draft articles of impeachment? They may well do that if they think that will get them ahead of the buffoon's sinking popularity and keep any chance alive of coming out ahead in 2018. They may have to, in any case, if criminal charges are filed, which is what I expect will happen.
Yeah, so what if 96% of buffoon voters would still vote for him now? He didn't come close to the 50% threshold, so 96% drops him below 40% of the total, which is similar to his job approval rating of 36%. If that's representative of the kind of vote Republican candidates for Congress can expect in 2018, then the Democrats will win fairly easily. But given the way things are going for the buffoon administration politically, if the FBI investigation drags on that far, the Democrats have a year and a half of his inept, incompetent, insanity to help them boost their Congressional numbers significantly. The health care bill has already helped immensely. Trump won't last two full years.
