Conway’s remarks came just days after he spearheaded the formation of a new legal group, called Checks and Balances, set up to provide a platform for conservative lawyers to speak out against what he sees as Trump’s violations of “timeless principles” and constitutional norms.
George T. Conway III, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, said the Republican Party has become “a personality cult” under President Trump and that he would “move to Australia” rather than vote for the president again.
I like this article because it's not some Democrat hack claiming to be a lifelong Republican, but is now a Democrat because the GOP is so icky. For any conservative, supporting the Democrats is never an option.

Notice that he mentions moving to Australia, but never mentions voting Democrat. This guy is believable.
For any conservative, supporting Trump is impossible.
Senator Majority Leader McConnell is quoted as saying look at the results. I believe Trump will begin to unravel soon and pressure will come to bear for him not to stand for re-election. This is a window of opportunity. While the Democrats froth at the mouth screaming impeachment for any and all reasons, the GOP can be the adult in the room by publicly bringing pressure to bear for him not to run for re-election. This will spare the country being torn apart from impeachment proceedings.

Last time I looked Trump has the support of 90%!!!! of self-identified Republicans. Trump IS the GOP - that's who they are. That's what is scary IMO. He's not a fluke or some accident - he's tapped into the soul of the GOP and reflects it, better than anyone for quite a long time.
There is zero chance IMO that the GOP will as a party pressure him not to run, or if they do that it will work - absent of course some kind of serious stuff even the GOP can't ignore coming out of the Mueller investigation.
What makes you think your qualified?For any conservative, supporting Trump is impossible.
I think that once Trump is gone, the GOP will disassociate itself from him... “Oh, yeah, that guy... we went to the prom once, I needed a date; but he never meant that much to me...”
Trump will fail as a result of his own unforced errors. This needs to play out naturally. Something manufactured by the Democrats will not help their cause.

Real Housewives, Survivor, Big Brother and finally, The Apprentice, are all reality shows based on the premise of "winning" by screwing over your fellow man.
We have had twenty years of subtle "indoctrination" posing as mild entertainment based on this premise.
Logical people don't take these shows seriously, but clearly almost a third of the population believes that this formula applies in real life.
These people spent the last twenty years conditioning themselves for a person like Trump.
The fact that this reality TV formula doesn't actually work well in real life when applied to running a country is meaningless to them.
The fact that they make no distinction between reality TV and real life is meaningless to them.

Eff your feelings, and eff the rest of society, too. Eff the entire world if need be.
That's how Trumpism works.

They've had two years to take that route. What's been stopping them, and what has changed?
Simple, he hasn't dug a deep enough hole. When he does, the GOP will abandon him. Furthermore, it's a much heavier lift to get a President to resign as opposed to getting him not to stand for re-election. I wonder if House Democrats would still push for impeachment if Trump doesn't stand for re-election. Personally, I would prefer a different Republican in 2020, but will always vote against a Democrat.
Historically speaking this question never gets a cogent answer, but I'll try again. What would such a hole look like? In other words, what would he have to do to dig himself a "deep enough" hole?
Unmistakable corruption beyond the benefit of the doubt would do it. I compare Richard Nixon vs Calvin Coolidge. Nixon disgraced himself and his party. It appears that Calvin Coolidge saw the Great Depression coming and declared "I choose not to run". In my opinion, the best path forward for the GOP is to pressure Trump not to stand for re-election. You, of course want to see maximum damage done to the GOP.
I admit, I think it's sad and hilarious that the GOP has tied its future to a fat reality TV star with bad combover and the IQ of a brain-damaged aardvark
The GOP did a good job making lemonade out that lemon. Trump was the 2016 nominee because non-Republicans voted in open primaries, presumably to select Hillary's weakest opponent. Now you have him in the White House. Choke on it lefties. As an added bonus, you could have manipulated him into enacting part of your agenda, but you let Trump Derangement Syndrome get the best of you. That means that Trump politically had no place else to go except the right. The Democrats beat Trump in the dysfunctional Olympics. That's quite a feat!
