So if Trump actually shot someone in public, would

the Republican Party consider removing him from office so he could stand trial?

The answer to that question should be obvious, but given the criminal organization, that calls itself the Republican Party, they may look the other way.

Based on what comes out of Mueller's office and the Southern District of New York attorney's office, the incoming Democratic House may find more than enough reasons to impeach him. But the actual trial as to his guilt or innocence lies with the Republicans who control the senate.

If evidence of Trump being involved in major crimes is revealed, (far more than we saw yesterday), will the Republican Party see the need to remove him from office?

Here's my guess. If Trump raped a nun on prime time TV, he'd call it "fake news," his Kool-Aid drinkers would agree and the Senate would remain silent.

Once this madman is gone, can America be "repaired?"
