What Are The Odds that the Trump-Russia Connections Will Become A Major Scandal

[Doctor Jack]

It sounds like there are the makings of a massive international scandal with Donald Trump at the center, bubbling below the surface right now. Will this actually explode into a scandal of historic proportions or is the media going to just ignore it?

1. Goddess I hope so!

2. If it was Hillary involved it would be all we see, everywhere in the media.

Trump, not so much.

3. The best thing about it is that folks like George Will

will keep stirring and keep it going. You have to think about how someone who has been bankrupt so many times is still doing deals. Isn't there any public information about financing some of those projects? Can he even pass a security clearance?

4. NYT had it today.

It seems to be gaining traction. It SHOULD be the biggest scandal since Watergate, but we'll see what the media does with it.

5. If we all talk about it, call into talk shows and raise the question

more people will hear of it and others will start asking...............

That is what republicans do ............. does not matter if it is true or not, just that it is talked about

6. I'd like to think so but frankly men skate so often in politics, not convinced yet.

7. I think if Trump should win (god forbid) the Republicans will impeach him. By letting him

run now , they appear to be doing the will of the people. If he is actually in the White House, they can use the Russian info to get rid of him and install Pence. This way they look like hero's for doing the right thing.

The answer of course is for him to never set his ugly hoof inside the White House.

8. Fifty-fifty at best

The odds are fifty-fifty at best. The suits bossing the lame-stream corporate media lack cojones when it comes to investigating a REPUBLICAN scandal.

9. I've never thought he'd hang on through the election

He'll quit or they'll find a reason to ditch him by Labor Day, IMHO.

10. 1% or so. You think the media is going to wreck a horse race or negate the need for

all that ad revenue?

Pretty unlikely. Maybe if he was holding a significant lead but even then maybe not, if valid then he would be DOA and that isn't good for clicks, ads, and money even if it is good for the country because they couldn't give a fuck in a whorehouse with a wheelbarrow of unmarked bills about that as should have long been painfully apparent.
