Did GOP'ers wait until the bitter end to admit "defeat" re: Watergate?
Forums:
Either elected representatives or citizens? If the worst comes to light re: Trump, will they STILL try to "hold on"? Or will many people simply be reduced to "libs are so hypocritical blah blah blah ... double standard blah blah blah"?
Re: elected officials, hopefully three will see the light and jump ship.

This clown is a supreme narcissist. He can never admit he was wrong about anything. He will go to jail before he admits he was wrong.

He's going to resign soon and try to frame it as a win, saying he is returning to his glorious life of being a Billionaire without all of the oversight and that his agenda was thwarted by the Washington swamp.
He never really wanted a job this tough.
It was more about winning than actually being President.

Anyone with a brain back then knew the truth and knew what was coming, including most Republicans.
Anyone with a brain today would stop making ridiculous comparisons that are based on hope and not reality. It's getting incredibly pathetic.

So firing the person in charge, in the midst of an investigation involving the POTUS shouldn't sound any "real" alarm bells for a reasonable person?

Agreed. Trump's underlying
Agreed, Olhobo. Trump's underlying conduct (unclear but looking like treason and/or a RICO violation like money laundering, as well as extensive conflicts of interest and sacrificing the good of the country and the planet for the enrichment of himself, his family, and the other oligarchs) also appears to be far worse than Nixon's (Watergate), separate and apart from the cover up, witness intimidation, and obstruction of justice.

Thom, does nothing about the current situation cause you to wonder about potential criminal activity?
It's weird, you pretty consistently made allegations of criminal activity in regards to the Obama administration and Clinton, and for much, much less.
It leads me to believe that you're just a partisan hack.
My God, Trump admitted on national TV that he fired Comey because of the Russia investigation, and then he threatened Comey with potential "tapes" if he spoke out. Kushner's sister overtly offered favors to China.
Don't you get it? Shit like this has to transcend partisan politics.

One might hope, but I find it fascinating to see how does not - simply as a study of human nature / cognition.
