Trump will never recover from Comey even if he isn't impeached or found guilty

of obstruction of justice. Today Comey looked extremely impressive and he looked like about as straight a shooter as they come. He looked like Jimmy Stewart up there and believe me, regular folks noticed and it solidified any misgivings about Trump and his pattern of being unethical, out of control, incompetent and just an ass-hole all the way around. Even the Republicans today didn't try to attack his Comey's integrity. Fox News watchers (35% of the country) are not going to change their mind even if he is found guilty of raping a donkey and it's caught on tape, but a lot of swing voters who watched that and will see the commercials during election time will will be swayed by the stark contrast. These are people who have already taken his approval down below 40%.

I am going to try and look on the bright side. If he is impeached awesome! If he isn't and Dems possibly take back the house and Senate because Trump is still pissing off the world then awesome. I think the public will want Dems to regain control of everything so they can either impeach him or just balance him out.

So lets not get too worried about the smoking gun showing up too soon. It will probably come sooner or later or he will create more smoking guns in the next couple of years. The longer it goes the more losses Republican's will have during the midterms or next Presidential election.

Today turned out about how I expected. The spectacle of it and Comey's trustworthy demeanor did a shit load of damage today regardless of the absence of any concrete way to oust Trump. I am feeling pretty good right now.
