and a bunch of right-leaning indies to rush to defend him against the evil Democrats. This was expected. But at that it's much lower than Nixon's, and don't they know it.

ProfessorGAC makes an important point also that Trump has no opposition yet.

In another respect, though, that's completely wrong. Trump's his own greatest opponent. If he isn't removed, there will be many months of self sabotage to come with the nation's cameras pointed at him. In addition, almost every week another shoe is dropping for him and the Republicans. If he isn't dropping huge ones on his own feet, they're being thrown at him by high-minded and outraged public servants or others of the criminal circles he operates in.
