Trump is so committed to fighting corruption in Ukraine that he had a perfect phone-call with ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about fighting corruption during which he never said the word "corruption".

Aaaaaaaaaand I'm not even getting into Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, Bill Barr... And I'm not even getting into Trump's business with the dictator of Kazakhstan or his history of not paying his bills. (E.g. he once refused to pay a caterer, saying that the exposure of having worked for Trump is payment enough.)



Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he just pardoned 11 financial criminals.

That means only about 80% of republican voters are truly Trump-supporters. Think of McCain, Romney, Amash, Jeb Bush... If the Democrats can sway those other 20% of republican voters to vote Democrat or to stay home, Trump is toast.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I truly want to believe that enough voters in enough states where we can overwhelm the electoral college system will do the trick for us.
