Speaking to host Nicolle Wallace on Monday, Eli Stokols—a White House reporter for The Los Angeles Times—suggested that concrete evidence of wrongdoing by Trump could make continued Republican support for the president untenable.
....
Stokols continued, noting that Republican lawmakers “are starting to tell me privately—some of them—if there’s obvious evidence, the bottom’s going to fall out. They’re not going to be able to stand by this White House and that’s a looming problem for the president.”
Take from the MSNBC rumor mill for what this is but since that bipartisan letter came out. I feel the tide has changed. You have Trumps supporters in the house/senate and then you have everyone else. But like this says. The bottom is falling out. Trump is worried. No one wants to be COS. The Russian NRA bunny just flipped. One should be asking these Republicans, what more evidence do they need? Are they waiting for the pee tape to be released?????

They have been trying to dump him since he announced. So far, they aren't successful, which is killing MSNBC.
Not sure you understand who GOP is.....
I'm sure I do...

Don't need a reporter for that info.
I could have told you that there were/are always "some of them" in the GOP that took/take any reason not to support Trump.
So, basically, what's new?!?
The GOP in Congress turning on Trump? I will not believe it until it happens. They have made a collective decision to stick with this guy to the bitter end as to oppose him means to rip the party in two - and they fear the establishment side of the Republican Party may end up in the minority with the deplorable outnumbering them. So they have to keep on going with Trump and have no real options that are also not laden with more explosives than a mine field.
They know they could get their collective asses kicked in 2020 - and they would rather face that and then rebuild without Trump after taking the electoral bloodbath then they would having to face a formal split in the party and alienating the deplorable they know make up so much of their reliable voting blocs.
Perhaps you have been asleep the last couple of years. Establishment on both sides and crazed journalists have been quite vocal about their discontent at at having power being brought back towards the citizenry.
The deplorables already outnumber them. They just don't know it yet.

interesting defense then. I hope the GOP doesn't try to say this themselves. They will be laughed out of office (hopefully).
“are starting to tell me privately—some of them—if there’s obvious evidence, the bottom’s going to fall out. They’re not going to be able to stand by this White House and that’s a looming problem for the president.”
To paraphrase the movie "Jerry McQuire": "show me the evidence!"
Yes, once the evidence comes out, and I believe there is sufficient evidence for both Federal and State prosecutors to make their cases, the RNC will backpedal from Trump like he was a flaming bag of dog ****.
I suspect you are right about that. Their problem has always been they feel they can control the deplorables and use them to their own ends and give them precious little in return. With Trump, they are finding out that they are riding the tiger and at any time the tiger can devour them if he so desires.
So a billionaire from Manhattan who craps in gold plated toilets and who many times praised and said he admired tyrants and dictators has 'brought back power to citizenry'? Back to the little guy?
Ahhh. no...

They are slowly losing that control based on the antics of Mcinnes, Wohl, Jones, Milo and others... It is grossly under reported how close these losers are to centers of power in DC.

Not nothing, but just the testimony of Cohen. It needs to be corroborated if it's going to reach a level where Trump is either indicted or impeached. If we're taking money bets, I'll put $50 on Mueller having the corroborative evidence.I agree. So far, nothing.
In history, we have a term called RIDING THE TIGER. It applies to rebel rousers like Sam Adams in the American Revolution who stir up trouble with the masses and lead them stirring up the pot to effect change. The problem with those folks is that they are rather useless if not completely country productive once the revolution or big change happens and they have to do the mundane business of governing. And he believed he and his establishment crowd could do the governing and shove them aside with a few trinkets that are relatively cheap and worthless.
Mitch McConell - as leader of the Senate GOP wing - has always believed he can control folks like that - the born again crowd and the neo-nazi sympathizers and the racists and rest of the deporables. He also believed he could give them very little in return beyond lip service and they stay in the fold.
But now Trump is riding high and McConnell cannot show any independence no matter what happens. If things get really bad and Mueller and the Courts come up with really solid evidence of Trump crimes, the best Mitch can do is quietly go over to the White House and beg Trump to resign for the good of the party. And if Trump shows him the middle finger - Mitch has to take it and bend over and go along with whatever Trump tells him to do.

You have more faith in the RNC than I do.
I think they need Trump's deplorable cult, which the GOP media echo chamber painstakingly spent about 35 years creating, to have any chance at power. They will ride the TrumpShark down screaming, "Nothing to see here!".
