President Donald Trump's intensifying legal troubles are unnerving some of his fellow Republicans. Despite his brash stance, they believe the turmoil has left him increasingly vulnerable as he gears up for what is sure to be a nasty fight for re-election.

Trump, ever confident of his ability to bend story lines to his will, mocks the investigations into his conduct as candidate and president as a "witch hunt" and insists he will survive the threats.

But a shift began to unfold over the weekend after prosecutors in New York for the first time linked Trump to a federal crime of illegal hush payments. That left some of his associates fearful that his customary bravado is unwarranted. For some Republicans, the implication that the president may have directed a campaign finance violation, which would be a felony, could foreshadow a true turning point in the Republican relationship with him when special counsel Robert Mueller releases his report on the Russia investigation....

How can the GOPee [a hotbed of #NeverTrumpism] possibly be concerned with Trump losing in 2020?

Flake, MailMan’s Son, Foam Boy, likely Mitt and tons of others are heavily working to be able to step into the Breach. They will find that they are all total loosers [sic].....

Wow...they quote an anonymous Repub (who may be real or not nowadays given how untrustworthy the press is), Sen. John Thune of South Dakota, and that lame duck RINO Flake. That’s a hard-hitting piece of reporting.

I’m not sure what Sen. John Thune is about these days.

His hard hitting daze of attacking the “troubled”/”deeply concerned” Tiny Tom Daschle seem to be long over.

He’s certainly not dreaming of returning to Murdo, So. Dak.
