when they went to Nixon and told him he didn't have the votes if he went all the way, so he resigned. They knew the House had the goods on Nixon and the Senate was unlikely to have the 35 votes necessary to protect his job. The current situation ecoes that one almost exactly.

Times have definitely changed, and Repubs basically think they can survive this shitstorm. They have a friendly news media in Fox and the RW echo chamber. Their base seems solid.

We'll see if rationality will win out in the end. We can only hope and work to GOTV this fall.
