Trump is circling the drain. The video is laid out logically and chronologically. Trump is almost there to losing the four key senators that it would take to remove him. IMO Trump is still treading water because Tax Cuts are the sole reason these people exist. And if Trump is impeached/removed, it would probably be considerably harder to pass Tax Cuts to the 1% - The donors that own the whores of the Republican Party. Here is the video.

The rupture between Mr. Trump and Mr. McConnell comes at a highly perilous moment for Republicans, who face a number of urgent deadlines when they return to Washington next month.

Who knows, maybe the republican party will take a page from the Sanders campaign, and accept only small dollar donations from its constituents. What a word that would be if both major parties started answering only to the people.
Seriously? They hang onto these seats like Charlton Heston hanging onto his rifle. They have to be pried from their cold, dead fingers, and that is after they try Weekend at Bernie's and bequeathing them to their kids.
I read somewhere that polls between trump and mcconell, trump is viewed more favorably like 60-30. Considering trumps approval is 30 by itself, what does that say about how the country views Mcconnell.
it was reported that mcconnel is only at 18 percent in kentucky. don't know if the poll was slanted or not.
