Yup. The Republican base has become fairly radicalized by Trump. Ironically I think this is what will cost them elections over and over. Republicans are only 25% of the vote. 50% is independent. If your political party focuses on the 25% they have as a base, they wont win elections.
I really am beginning to think Trump may destroy the GOP. Kinda impressive.
You might have said the same things about Perot and the Reform Party movement in 1993 or the Tea Party movement in 2009.
Democrats win the trifecta every 14-16 years and then get annihilated.
Do you seriously expect history to not repeat itself this time?
sooo...are you 100% sure Trump has not committed crimes? Or is it that you just feel he should be immune?
I’m 100% sure if he committed crimes that the 4+ year Dem goosechase and $40m spent trying to find something on him would’ve turned up something....but as we know, he’s galavanting around still living in y’all’s heads.

The Tea party argument works a little, but not the other ones really. We've never seen anything quite like this. I think the closest historically was Reagan, but honestly? Trumps no Reagan. And what youre discussing really is the normal pendulum of change. Whats occurred is a bit outside of those. Trumps non stop "they stole the election from me!" nonsense? Its not a win with folks.
Dont get me wrong, I think your argument about history is pretty good. But I dont think this is quite the same as in the past, we've never seen anyone do what Trumps been doing here in the US.

I have no idea whether or not Trump has committed crimes, but for all the investigating of the person, Trump, that has gone on since his entry into the political fray, that he isn't in prison now essentially answers your question.
If I had to guess, they'll go after his children next.
If and when he promises to not run again, the "investigations" will cease.

Dude. They couldn't even manage to look at his taxes for 4 years despite there being laws that LITERALLY instruct the government to hand them over. During the Mueller investigation? His finances and actions before running were off limits. And anyone investigating anything? Blocked by the sheer fact that Trump was president.
