"Storm is coming" Republican strategist says about Trump [View all]

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/republican-strategists-warning-about-trump-probe-the-storm-is-coming-2018-04-01?link=TD_marketwatch_home_page.83461b39d1bfc251&utm_source=marketwatch_home_page.83461b39d1bfc251&utm_campaign=circular&utm_medium=MARKETWATCH

He went on to say a switch in Republicans’ fortune in Congress after November’s midterm elections could bring dire consequences for the Trump presidency.

“And it’s hard to believe then that when Republicans lose the House in 2018, maybe by 40 or 50 seats, that the House is not going to impeach him,” Castellanos said.

“And it’s also hard to believe that a U.S. Senate that’s going to be scared to death, though may still be in Republican hands, is not going to take a serious look when it has to deal with this president,” he said. “So get good legal help now, because the storm is coming.”

Trump’s legal team, according to numerous reports, has been reduced to two or three attorneys after John Dowd, his lead lawyer, resigned on March 22 after quarreling with the president over how to respond to Mueller’s prosecutors.


I am positive that any Republican with two brains cells to rub together is already thinking the same thing. Trump will employ every strategy he has to create a false narrative that he is great for the nation and only he can fix the problems, and will make the reality TV splash he is so famous for, and at least his staunch 30% will buy it all. But the Emperor truly has no clothes and we had best make sure *that* is the reality that finally sticks. If that means voting against Trump, regardless of the Dem message that so many purists are so eager to critisize, so be it. No more of this purity shit that we must vote for something. Voting against something is still and important an valid reason for casting a vote.
