Narrative: If you believe an Associated Press report published overnight and you shouldnt rank-and-file Republicans are suddenly so worried about POTUS Donald Trumps legal troubles they fear he may not win reelection in 2020.
Under the headline, Republicans beginning to worry about Trump re-election, The Associated Press reported:
U.S. President Donald Trumps 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...

Trump was not on the mid-term ballot. Who do you think will beat Trump - Hillary? Biden? the fake Indian? the fake Mexican? the fake Roman?
Their biggest problem is they have nobody of substance.
A true backstabber if I ever saw one.
Que the Goebbels photo.
It was clear that Trump’s agenda was on the ballot and that putting the Demons in charge of the House would stop it cold (at least legislatively.) Not only that but he campaigned all over the country with an exhausting series of rallies.
Winning Ws, MI, and Pennsylvania was a miracle which I don’t see being repeated.
Certainly the Goebbelsmedia can get anyone elected when it is not played by a master. Hussein’s election and re-election proves that.
I think they will run Bernie and the electorate is stupid enough to buy it. Isn’t the national pastime trying to get something for nothing?
The problem with predicting that Trump will lose is that he has to lose TO SOMEONE, and it’s very hard to picture who that someone would be.
I’m still waiting for ‘Democrats severely shaken by the socialist Cortez’ headlines.
Bernie Sanders got bitch slapped into a corner by Hillary Clinton. The only reason he got some traction was that, like Trump, he positioned himself outside of official Washington and people really wanted change. After Bush/Clinton/Clinton/Bush/Bush/Obama/Obama, they were not interested in another Bush or another Clinton. But Trump closed the deal in his party and Bernie did not.
He can't run as the Washington outsider against Trump, the ultimate outsider.
Being an “outsider” is an age-old campaign tactic. It didn’t start with Trump.
In my mind that today it is inexcusable to vote for a Demon and this election should have been a lay-up for anyone with a scintilla of smarts. If the Republicans couldn’t win this one I see nothing to think they can win the next.
Shaken, not stirred.
Agent .07, you know.
That’s her estimated IQ, right?
Not only nobody of substance, but all their presumed standard-bearers are geriatric whites except the fake Mexican.
It’s not like the “four anonymous quotes and an analysis quote from a far-left academic” schtick was working for them, either.
I am worried, too.
—Border barrier, apparently not passed by Congress.
—Obamacare repeal replace, apparently not passed by Congress.
Oh they’re worried alright. Been worried for months. Worried he won’t loose!
The mainstream media, along with now disgraced former Dim deep state members. have produced a ton of fake news in the past few days about Cohen and his plea bargain on “campaign finance law” violations, and the possible drift of that plea into similar charges against Trump.
1. Cohen plead guilty to those charges, in an attempt to get lenient treatment on a host of charges by giving the prosecutors something they could try to hook Trump on - on the dubious theory that if Cohen was guilty then so must Trump be. But that campaign finance charge never saw the light of day in a court battle with a strong defense against it. And the history of such charges in very similar contexts strongly suggests Cohen had no direct legal cause to plead guilty; Trump is likely to prevail against them.
2. With that in mind it suggests the Dims will have only a charge, and not any conviction of Trump on any FEC campaign finance violation with which to persue impeachment, as either NY State will either not be able to get Trump into court while he is President and if they could they would lose. Either way it is insufficient “high crimes and misdemeanors” for any impeachment.
3. All of that suggests the former Obama adminsitration officials suggesting Trump is in trouble either understand the law so poorly they should never have held the offices they did, or they know they are lying to the sheeple through the media about the legal importance of the matter.
It will the greatest miracle in USA history if Trump wins re-election, if he is still in the White House to even run.....
the odds are in favor of Trump being impeached/convicted and removed from office..I hope I am wrong, but I am not hopeful...only need roughly 20 or so R’s to join all of the D’s in the Senate to convict/remove...
