"Turning" on Trump is all theatrics.
Not that I would, but what would you be willing to bet that Trump isn't affected by this? $100? $1000? $10,000?
I mean...you'd be a sucker. Again, this is all already happening. Did you not just read that he had summoned a handful of MAGAts to the White House in the past 24 hours? Multiple turned it down, two publicly said they're still voting to release the files.
It kind of sounds like you're in denial of the emprical evidence that he can't stop this, and his own party is turning on him. Fuck, I don't even like bringing up her name as if she's Candyman or something, but look at MTG...like WOW.
When the realization sets in for you that nothing is going to happen, it's going to hurt, brother. I hope the worst happens to him, but even with what you say is already happening, I can't bring myself to think that the past won't repeat itself this time too.
Again...you're expecting something I did not even mention, and I never claimed to happen.
What I did say would happen is ALREADY happen, I don't think you get that. You e already lost the "bet" you're trying to make.
No, dude. Nothing of substance has happened yet. No one is voting on anything yet. No one turning on him in any way that matters. What are you seeing happen is a few (R) House members claiming they will vote a certain way. One, they will fall in line. Two, the vote doesn't matter at all even if it passes, it still has to go to the Senate.
What specific example are you seeing that shows that Republicans are trending towards impeaching or making Trump step down? Like, I said, you're delusional if you think anything is coming now after 8 years of this shit.
