They don't believe Russia is an issue. They are more concerned with his taxpayer financed golf trips to FL. They voted for him to improve the economy/JOBS!
The release of his taxes could take care of both issues (Russia and his private wealth/cheating).

He'd have to tear the heads off kittens on live TV.
And even that might not do it

(32,639 posts)Trump casinos have been laundering money for the Russian mobsters and the FBI already knows about.
There's no more guessing or wondering, they know he's been doing it for 20 years.
They couldn't get any employees to talk about it, but that was before all the other crap happened.
Now that he's POTUS the bright spotlight is on all of them and things are coming into focus. People are getting scared.
Somebody is probably talking now or they will be soon, once they realize they're going to prison.
I'm not talking about the treason stuff with Putin, these are just RICO violations like they got Al Capone on.

(17,004 posts)His base is immune to facts. They love him the way a fan loves a losing sports team. They will never give him up which is why the Dems need to give up the idea that we need to reach out to them. There are so many more people who didn't vote than who voted for Twitler. Those are the people we need to reach out to.

(6,377 posts)But not more than five percent. Remember that in the heart of the Iraq insurgency, Americans dying over there on a daily basis, the housing market falling apart, the stock market crashing and the recession starting, Bush's approval rating was still 25 percent. Basically, if you asked four people "Do you think Bush is doing a good job", one of them would say yes. That's insane.

(34,386 posts)they think that it will keep the inevitable, demographics-driven multi-racial democracy from fruition. They want to put in place every last voter suppression, White Privilege, Apartheid-Lite policy they can while they can. It's desperate, pathetic, vile, and just plain wrong.
