I'm sure it's been said here already, but I can't find a thread.
Everything that went down this afternoon backfired badly. Many congress members have pulled their objections, there are now major corporations discussing the 25th, and IF Pence had any affinity towards OrangeAnus before today, it flew out a window today. Also, for the first time, I have heard the MSM actually say negative things about the pOTUS and invoking the word "sedition". WOW!!
So much winning.

(4,845 posts)So they might still have pulls in the GoP. But once they are in the national debate, their opponent mentions their links to today and that immediately turns off a lot of moderates/independents.

(63,221 posts)I think the name "Trump" will be poison in politics forever. The establishment will never allow them to gain power ever again. They are done. The brand is done. The only places they will be accepted are places that they would not be caught dead in.
Their name on anything will be dirt. However, it's not enough for me that they are tainted forever. I want them charged with all the fraud/money laundering/theft, etc. they've pulled and thrown in prison. I hope I live long enough to see that.

I wouldn't be surprised if they are trying to have a nixon conversation moment with Trump as I type this. But Trump is a lot stupider than Nixon, so who knows what will happen.

(82,849 posts)There has been a very gratifying loosening of tongues since the Senators and the Representatives came back from shelter. There has been a frankness and a plainness of speaking that has been missing for over four years.
