I think he thought and still believes that slowly, over time, he can win these battles one at a time.
But I wrote in January that this would be a race between Trump’s job creation ability/the economy and the Democrat/RINO ability to impeach him.
Rush is talking about this now. “High crimes & Misdemeanors” is a very, very loose phrase meaning “Whatever the House chooses to make it.”
Now, do you really think that there are a solid 220 votes for Trump in the House? Do you think there are more than 15 solid votes for him in the Senate?
It’s not about Trump’s “fear” but about reality. He is walking a very, very thin wire. It started when he rightly called out everyone on that stage at his Inauguration Speech.

If a Republican Congress were to impeach Trump there would a blood bath in the next election for them and for years to come. In my case there would be no forgiveness. In fact the R’s would probable set off civil disobedience across the country except this time it would be red state conservatives saying enough, we need tar and feathers.
If a President is that terrified of his own party impeaching him, he frankly should resign. He can’t operate at that point.
Would Pence live under this alleged fear as well?
