Trump Rages Over Republican Defections as Democrats Press on Impeachment

WASHINGTON — President Trump, increasingly embittered by an impeachment inquiry that Democrats are intensifying by the day, complained on Monday that Republicans were not united enough in defending him against what he called “vicious” adversaries bent on removing him.

Mr. Trump lashed out at Senator Mitt Romney, Republican of Utah, the only member of his party who has signaled he may be open to impeaching Mr. Trump, arguing that the senator’s defection showed weakness in the party.

Launching into a series of attacks on Democrats, Mr. Trump said approvingly that they were “vicious and they stick together. They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst — they don’t have people like that.”

“They stick together,” Mr. Trump added, during a lengthy question-and-answer session with reporters at a cabinet meeting. “You never see them break off.”

And this is just an inquiry, to see if articles of impeachment are warranted. Public hearings haven't even started yet, and Trump's losing his shit. What's going to happen when Schiff's committee starts calling witnesses for public testimony?

Maybe that's not a safe assumption, but it would only take four to flip, go independent with a "save our GOP" coalition, and caucus until 2020 with Senate Democrats.

It may not get a conviction, but they could tell MMitch to sit down. Stranger things have happened.
