One big difference now vs. Watergate: Many Nixon people really were Nixon people; they had worked for him for years, believed in him, and were intensely personally loyal. Even so many turned on him to save their skins, but not all did, and many didn't easily. Trump? Not so much.

Once he was the nominee, it became hard for party folks to turn on him. But we'll see how that works out when prison looms.

They’re afraid of the entire Trumpist movement. But sure, if it’s prison or getting roasted on Fox, they’ll take the latter.

Rats jump from a *sinking* ship. The failure to impeach post-Mueller sent a message to many in GOP that Dems will always fold and Barr DOJ will do nothing. Guys like Flynn and Cohen appeared to cut deals too soon. Until Dems prove that narrative wrong, don’t expect mass exodus.
