his base is already on lock.He's setting up a situation where his base thinks any impeachment is invalid due to the political motivations of the impeachers (Congress).
Next up, he will set up his base to believe that if he gets voted out, it's due to massive voter fraud. I predict he can lose by 10 million votes and still claim a win.
If he gets impeached, or loses, will the Secret Service have to physically remove him from the White House?
they are not going anywhere.
I think dragging the issue out like this creates opportunities for him to inevitably harm
his own cause with his words and actions...
threatening to shoot *spies* (whistleblowers) while more witnesses come forward with
additional allegations of using American foreign policy for personal gain.
what if his tax returns reveal material income streams from Turkey, Russia, and China....
that certainly doesn't help his cause.
these types of things will help to erode the rational moderate voters in the middle
