Fox headline today: Would you care if he is guilty. Wow.

[dixiegrrrrl]

Somebodu must know something.
Fox has been remarkable in timing news to help Trump.

In this article Fox is weaving between facts and reasons to ignore facts, arguing that 76% of REPUBLICANS support Trump..therefore it does not matter if he is guilty.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/04/would-even-care-if-was-guilty.html

Wow.

The question we need to ask it...why that message, now?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

1. "OK, yeah, he's a treasonous demonic gangster, but who cares?"

That's the ticket.

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. AND, they add:" The Demos have done worst"

Seriously, it is in the article.
AND they article sez Worse thing that could happen is Pence steps in as Pres
instead of any do over, trials, etc.


This Fox news article is being used to test the water of Trump stepping down.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

12. And "Millard Fillmore did the same thing!"

[sharedvalues]

2. Fewer people identify as Republican. 76% support, but that's fewer people

He's driving people out of the Republican party. Of course the remaining hardcore support him.

[SergeStorms]

26. 80% was suppposed to be.......

the threshold where Trump would be in serious trouble with Republicans. If he's at 76% now - and it's only going to go lower - he's got some serious problems. I don't give a crap WHAT FAUX News says. And contrary to what Michael Moore says, Trump IS going to go somewhere.......to jail.

[Maraya1969]

36. I just realized that as much as I want him impeached and then thrown into jail

if he is in office in 2020 we are almost guarenteed a Democratic win for president.

Then again the country would be in ruins so forget that.

[sharedvalues]

38. Jail or Russia.

He might try to start a civil war first

[sharedvalues]

3. Josh Marshall is going to have a field day with this

He's been reporting for months on how GOP propanganda is moving the goalposts.

e.g. From "We didn't collude" to "Collusion is awesome".

27. Dems need to take control of narrative ..it's not collusion IT'S TREASON...traitordonthecon!

[dixiegrrrrl]

32. AND "Dems have done worst" is actually in the article

Pummeling on "Hillary" , again.

[SCantiGOP]

37. Didn't she kill Scalia?

[Snackshack]

4. They don't care.

All they care about is holding the executive office and majority in both chambers. Party first...all other considerations are secondary.

The one time trump was not lying is when he said he could shoot someone in Times Square and not lose a single vote.

[Gabi Hayes]

31. Grover Norquist's fantasy president (with R control of both houses)

Quote: "An idiot with a pen."

[MiddleClass]

34. Check

[Stinky The Clown]

5. Holy dot Shit!

[ProudLib72]

6. It's a sickness

Would you like a dictator? Be honest, now. It would be better than a Democrat any day. Does it really matter if Russia owns our country? How is that really going to affect you idiots in red areas?

I suggest starting a "Russian only" meme. "This is a Russian satellite country. Speak Russian!" That should piss off a few RWNJs.

[rusty quoin]

15. For a long time now it's been anything but a Democrat.

The decent Republicans have all been purged.

[Angry Dragon]

7. It really sucks when one yearns for bush junior

[Skittles]

20. I don't fucking yearn for Duyba

NO ONE SHOULD

[C Moon]

23. Yes. I despise it when people put forth that question.

[Grassy Knoll]

8. Trump Told His Cult It's A Witch Hunt...

...Turns Out They Were Off By 22 Keys .

[Kaleva]

9. That's a major drop in support from Repubs

It was 85% not long ago.

[VMA131Marine]

11. I think this is called "The Full Nixon"

If Trump does it, it's not illegal.

[Mr. Ected]

13. They are pre-conditioning their audience to ignore the inevitable outcome

Pound it in their heads early and often. That way, when bang, bang Mueller's Silver Hammer comes down upon his head, the Trumpites will be comfortably desensitized and will reject in all regards the verdict and the punishment.

Dangerous times.

[chowder66]

14. That is a hell of a catch. nt

[teach1st]

16. Did anybody read the article?

It's not total acceptance.

As we hear Trump devotees wail that colluding with a hostile foreign power isn’t a crime or cavil that Mueller & Co. might find other crimes unrelated to Russian disruption, what we are really hearing is their acceptance of wrongdoing. This is the big: “So what?”

The underlying argument is that she probably did something even worse, so if he lied, cheated and maybe even stole the election. For after all, he would have been only beating Democrats at their own game.

Even though this view represents a minority of a minority, it is still pretty strong evidence of an unwell national civic culture. It is also like money in the bank for Trump.

[bhikkhu]

17. It almost reads like a cry in the dark - "WTF is with you people?"

a little voice behind a media source that does little more than shovel well-flavoured meat at its hungry audience.

[SomethingNew]

18. Looks like you didn't get past the headline.

Try reading articles you post.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. Read the whole thing, and it is arguing "people will say 'so what?'"

The ending:

That’s why we revisit this thought experiment from time to time. If we imagine that all that has been said and accused is true, would enough Republicans care enough to want Trump out?

Certainly the passing of time helps the president as voters get accustomed to a new reality that would have shocked them before. But also the condition of the country and its economy matters too.

And since whatever is revealed will almost certainly fall short of the most hysterical claims of Trump’s foes, it may not even take an economic boom to keep at least the overwhelming majority of Republicans on board.

The article is full of "this is just what the Democrats said about Bill Clinton" false equivalence.

[videohead5]

19. Then Why

Should I care if Hillary is guilty?...if Trump colluded with the Russians it's much worse than having unmarked classified e-mails on a server.

[Doug the Dem]

21. They've just completed their Russian-Language Classes

And they don't want the money to end up wasted.

[Hieronymus]

22. When republicans start losing in 2018

the support will change.

[czarjak]

24. As Brian Kilmeade asks...

"What would you like to hear?"

[Kablooie]

25. Trump often gives Fox news a heads up when something bad is about to drop.

so they can start setting the tone with excuses to defend him before the disaster hits.

[kentuck]

29. Would you care if the person you voted for was a traitor to his country?

In other words.

[malaise]

30. It's a reasonable question from Fox

Look how many criminals, rapists and predators work there?

[MiddleClass]

33. There in the first stage of the 7 stages of grief

35. the law doesn't care if they don't care
