as well. But I don't know if he'll skate--maybe the investigators will focus almost exclusively on Trump.

"Mueller Time" can't come soon enough, and I hope it's not the disappointment that Fitzmas was.

And, technically, the line of succession continues with other Republicans, so taking Pence down will simply mean a delay, with regard to Solly's point about someone signing off on the Repub. agenda (another reason why the midterms are so important).

My point was just that they do NOT have to stick with Trump in order to get their agenda enacted. But they will continue to do so as long as they fear losing the base, being exposed as being entangled in all the Russian deals themselves, etc.

Good points. Maybe his approval needs to drop into the twenties Doodley Aug 2017 #13
