What Will Be The Last Straw With Trump? Or Is There One At All?

[TheMastersNemesis]

Outside of causing a nuclear war I do not see a last straw with Trump. The GOP will go along with anything. Trump & the GOP are inseparable Siamese twins for all practical purposes. Trump could attack Ryan and McConnell with a 6 iron in the Oval office and nothing would happen.

1. Indictments.

2. I Will Believe It When I See It. Can't Count On DOJ To Do Anything.

3. Consider all the Senators Trump is not attacking by name...

McConnell
McCain
Flake
Heller
Corker
Tillis

Not a good way to keep loyalty...

4. Each voter has his/her own "last straw". When we get enough last straws, that's when it matters. nt

11. They did an interview recently with twitler supporters and the majority of them said there

Is nothing He could do to stop their support for him. I think about 25% of them will go over the cliff with them even if it means they will be harmed. They are brainwashed in the cultof45ers. Between Faux and hate talk neurolinguistic brainwashing these people are goners.

15. Some people felt that way about Nixon too

Regardless of the small minority of folks who apparently don't care that they are being taken for a ride, most people do care. There will be a tipping point, regardless of the existence of that hardcore 25%.

5. His money

If they go after his money and/or businesses, that could bring him up short.

6. There isn't one

Unfortunately.

7. Massive KFC and toilet-twittering induced coronary?

8. Hug a brown skinned person

9. We got rid of the last straw somewhere in the primaries.

His base will never, ever quit him.

10. I do not see a last straw.

The GOP Is still behind his ass until they can find someone else to supplant him.
Baring a personal health crisis or other extraordinary wild card, it will be a slow end.

12. GOP will never abandon him, because his voters

drive their party.

otoh, I think he will quit when the threat to his "brand" becomes too big for him to ignore. That's all he cares about: his image and his brand. Of course he'll spin it as unfair journalists, mean Democrats, weak Republicans all conspiring to prevent him from Making America Great Again (I tried! but they won't let me! They hate America!)

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. Yeah

His supporters would rip the GOP apart if they removed him. Now that I think about it, maybe Republicans are just hoping that, at some point, he may just resign on his own- even though the odds of that actually happening are about the same as successfully navigating an asteroid field.

[shanny]

17. Dunno about that.

Given his emotional neediness, I don't see any deep character reserve that would allow him to withstand continuing "attacks" (like actual quotes) and "threats". He looks and acts unhinged now.... And while the DOJ investigation has been going on for a while, it is at a low simmer. When it heats up? Hang on to your hat.

I see him as locked into a downward spiral: the more negative press > the more he releases his inner child/racist/incompetent/vengeful/boob > the more negative press etc etc etc. His influence wanes as his outrageous BS grows and that will continue--there's absolutely No One who can rein him in: not Ivanka (where did she disappear to, anyway?), not Kelly, not Congress (the very idea is a real hoot), certainly not the Creature Itself.

I think he will implode, in the not-too-distant future. I hope it will be close enough to the mid-terms to prevent any more depredations by his also-deplorable minions.

p.s. good news is, whatever happens to tRump--a big part of his base will blame the Republicans as well as us.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. Not sure there is one

As long as Trump is useful to the Republican agenda (i.e. signing their bills, assuming they can get them through Congress), or at least not a liability to their re-elections/control of Congress, he'll probably stay put though I'm sure that they all probably realize that they would probably do better under the less chaotic (but no less detestable) Pence. If he did, in fact, shoot somebody on 5th Avenue, Republicans and Fox pundits will quickly find and/or invent rationalizations for why his victim "had it coming". Triggering a nuclear war *may* be deal breaker but I dunno.

16. I don't know about the Republican congressmen and women who seem to be stubbornly

hanging in there with him, but for the dyed in the wool tRump fans, I think nothing will cause them to abandon him. They have been conditioned to distrust anyone but him. He has poisoned their minds to dismiss anything the media finds on him that conflicts with what they believe to be true about him. I don't think video of him having sex with underaged prostitutes in a fleabag motel would convince them. He could talk trash about his devoted fans in a hidden camera set up and they'd excuse it somehow. The scene from "A Face in the Crowd" where Lonesome Roads goes off on a rant about his rube listeners won't be happening. We can hope, but even IF it happened, tRump would convince them he was "only joking" and they'd buy it. He has already groomed them and they are his.

Nope, our only hope is that little by little, the only slightly convinced tRump voters will fall away from his spell. That will leave only the hard core (like the core of a pimple) to stick with him. That is not enough to constitute a quorum as they say. We will significantly out number them, so our task is to get people out to vote in massive, mind numbing numbers. And they need to be very vocal to our congress critters. VERY. Make their presence and opinions known. The core tRumpies can have their say, but with small numbers, it won't matter. They will barely raise a ripple in the pond.
