CNN's Chris Cuomo opines:
I think we hit rock bottom. If so, there is a blessing in that, because there can be no debate about which way is up

It's pretty bad. But you never hit rock bottom with Trump. With Trump, the bottom is always soft, mooshy, malleable, and kind of stinky.
Read these comments below from Republican leaders and understand that still someone openly hostile to US institutions and interests is not gonna be impeached by the Republican Congress.

No matter how low Trump goes there's always the certainty that somehow he'll go lower. And this time he's gone so low that his next excavation will be really terrifying.

There is no conceivable bottom and I don't think we're there yet.

That's why I take the "Trump has damaged himself with this one" mindset with a grain of salt. The truest thing he ever said was that he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave.... He's indestructible. Somewhere, someone smart and competent is studying him and how he manages to come out of everything unscathed and THAT'S the person to fear.

thousands American dead in an immense blunder as CinC.
Otherwise there will be nothing happening but excuses, minimization, apologism and lies.
