      This poll shows you exactly how Republicans are managing to defend the indefensible. It's not that they've turned against impeachment in theory. 52% say if Trump abused his powers, he should be impeached.

      It's not that they don't believe abusing office for personal political advantage is impeachable. 67% of Republicans say it is.

      But in the face of overwhelming evidence that Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, Republicans have convinced themselves this is normal. 65% of Republicans say presidents do this all the time. Only 39% say it's even morally wrong.https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/9/20955441/impeachment-trump-poll-ukraine-2020-democrats-republicans …

      That’s the level of cynicism Trump is forcing his supporters to embrace. It’s not quite, as Nixon famously said, “when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.” It’s closer to: when the president does it, that means it’s typical.

      The scary thing about that is it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the Republican Party chooses to treat what Trump has done as normal and protect him from consequences or sanction, then perhaps it will become normal.

          We don’t get the political system we deserve. We get the political system we accept.

          Nah, the GOP will be SURE to punish it most severely as soon as a DEMOCRAT does anything like it.

          Why do Democrats treat what Biden and Kerry did for their kids as normal and protect them from consequences or sanctions? You might not come off as such a hack if you treated both issues equally.

          Thankfully Democrats would never normalize awful behavior like taking sexual advantage of a powerless subordinate

          This becomes the new normal in future GOP administrations. They will revert to the old normal if Dems take the White House. They are relativists when it comes to observing ethical norms. They might even pretend to care about the deficit again.

          Only “perhaps”? No, it will be the norm.
