People who are whistling past the graveyard when it comes to the inevitable impeachment (and removal from office) of Trump, need to look at things like this. Romney is not an aberration when it comes to elected Republicans. He may speak freely now, since doing so wins him the adoration of the only people he cares about, and makes him a hero in the liberal enclaves that he frequents, but there is no question that a) he would vote for impeachment/removal were he a congressman/senator, respectively; and b) his now-public rhetoric is similar to the now-private rhetoric of at least half of the Republican senators.

"We might've dodged a bullet in 2012." True, but we are now facing heavy weapons. They are going to impeach Trump on ambiguous, unproveable (and indefensible) "charges", and they are going to declare these "high crimes" (since there is no judicial review, or any other recourse, the only people whose opinions matter line the halls of the house and the senate), and they are going to remove him. (In fact, I suspect that the reason they have stopped pushing the Russia meme is not just because there is nothing there -- it is also because any charges wouldn't be vague enough).

People like Romney would gladly trade a job in the Senate or the House for an opportunity to be a hero to the only types of people they care about, and a 7/8 figure salary as compensation. The only question is: what are the 70 million people who support Trump going to do about it?

If only 5% of the Trump supporters showed up on the Mall or Capitol they’d back down so fast you’d think they never opposed Trump in the first place. And if you think they won’t, remember this: Hardly any Confederate soldiers ever owned a slave, yet they fought four long, bloody years for the South. And they didn’t have modern automobiles, trains or aircraft to take them to where the fight was.

Your fears are way overblown. Trump is in great shape politically, and the DNC is in tatters. There is no chance of impeachment or removal.

I can understand why you would think the noose is tightening around Trump’s neck. The witch hunt is very real - Trump has a lot of enemies who are desperate to bring him down. The MSM has abandoned all pretenses of honesty or objectivity, so there is non-stop reporting of Trump’s impending demise.

Fortunately, it’s fake news - either wishful thinking or cynical smears intended to demoralize or fracture his support.

What we have to do is ignore the noise (whistle past the graveyard) - Trump has this. He has a way of setting up win win situations. It looks so bad sometimes the way the fake news gets away with running these smear campaigns, but he comes out smelling like roses. I thought it was over a couple times but I was wrong.

Many of the Dems, MSM and Rinos are fooled by their own games - they actually think they are on the verge of getting rid of him. Soon they will realize he’s here to stay and the Rinos will try to get back in his good graces. Some of the Democrats will even become more reasonable when that happens. Even some of the MSM will realize they have damaged themselves by selling out to the DNC and mend fences like they did when Reagan got reelected by a historic landslide.

The only thing I worry about is some left wing kook getting too close to him - that would be a heartbreaker because there is nobody else who can do what Trump is doing.
