An honest question for Republicans.

Meuller has already telegraphed that there is simply no evidence of collusion on Trumps part. This makes your question a bit moot but let me respond to what i think youre actually asking. I support Trump almist without reservation because hecreally is cleaning up a swamp of self-appointed, political elites coming from both major parties that has been selecting our rulers since FDR died.

Bushes going back to Prescott, Kennedys going back to Joe senior and the clingers like the Clintons, the Bidens and all the rest share power in a criminal rotation that has made our republic self-serving for these criminals. Trump interrupts this rotation and he has begun the exposure that could eliminate these bad actors. Thats why they madevupnthis crap about Russian collusion and ignored Hillary's open flouting of the law.

Trump may be rude, crude and "not presidential". So was the last guy I hired to clean a septuc tank.

I think it is true. I can't tell you how grossly uninformed most all Republicans are. There is an unspoken rule among the ultra-right that says they can ONLY watch FOX or ultra-right wing "news" sites. As long as that is the case--and those sites know it is--they can omit truth, bend it, invent it and they know if their viewers will NEVER look at any other sources to find out what they are putting out is true or not--then they can say anything and it will be believed. When faced with actual facts--that the right wing media omits--the natural reaction of right wingers is to scream FAKE.

In their minds.......what they are hearing is fake--because NONE of the few sources the depend on for propaganda has ever told that what the real facts are. So when you tell them something that is real--for them it's the first time they have ever heard that, so they don't believe it. Since that is the state of awareness of the ultra right---nothing real and truthful is known--and everything they do hear is filtered and/or made up instead----when Mueller proves anything to them factually---they won't believe it.

If you were old enough to remember Nixon, you'd know the answer to your question. The evidence against Nixon was overwhelming. I mean stacks and stacks of evidence of wrongdoing. It was so overwhelming even to Nixon that when faced with impeachment, he knew his goose was cooked so he resigned. After that for 6 months the Republicans in congress--in total denial---kept on trying and trying to bring him back by discrediting what even Nixon knew was true. The GOP has never publicly admitted to this day that the evidence against Nixon was true. The denial----based on the fact that they do NOT want to know what the actual facts are--means if they are told--they will simply deny it as real.

To be honest, yes. The end did justify the means if it occured. But there is no evidence of Russian collusion. What democrats don't realize is Americans meddle in elections all over the world, so why should it be any different for us? But yes I would rather have Trump over crooked Hillary any day. Would Hillary have made the progress with Kim Jong Un that Trump has? Hell no, we would either be at war or kissing his ass. Probably kissing his ass. I like that Trump is putting America first and not being a pussy when it comes to foreign policy like Obama was. Lets just hand Saudi Arabia Billions of Dollars.. The democrats were all for that, but cant set aside 5.7 of a 300 Trillion Dollar budget for a wall.

The question is pointless since Mueller can't find any collusion.

Mueller can’t prove anything . The investigation is a partisan witch hunt . Democrats have been very complicit With Russia, obstruction, tampering , and flat out perjury . Yet not one has been investigated. The constitution does not allow for a lowly partisan investigator to destroy a presidency . If that’s allowed no one can be president and chaos and civil war will ensue . Liberalism is very dangerous ... increasingly so . They lib house just voted to allow illegals ( non citizens) to vote in our elections . That can never be allowed to happen .

I remember how the conservative, Christian, Republican members of my church would lay claim to higher values and insights that "eluded the godless liberal Democrats". I'm not sure why it took me so long to realize that all the "principles" they've espoused through the years have actually been nothing but tactics -- cattle prods to move their 'followers' along.

And for the ones STILL bringing up HRC to blame for their willful ignorance re: their support for trump, Republicans had the Presidency, the House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, the Attorney General and yet they STILL couldn't find Clinton guilty of any crime. There was no reason on earth they couldn't have charged, convicted, and "locked her up". The fact they couldn't speaks volumes.

It isn't so much asking an honest question as more getting an honest answer for the Republicans. I wonder for instance how they'd have reacted if Obama had put his daughter and son in law in the WH and they didn't qualify for security clearances, but the security services who oversee them were over ruled by Obama?

After all, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why Jarad has financial help from the Saudi's and Trump has gone easy on them...

I’m a Democrat, but fwiw I believe that yes, they would still support Trump for several reasons. In no particular order, conservatives believe that their leaders are always right as long as they’re being conservative. Also, lately they seem to think anything is justified if it’s necessary to defeat the Democrats. Notice how many of them still supported Roy Moore after he was caught doing sex things with minors. Similarly, in my home state of Missouri many still supported former Governor Eric Greitens after he was found to have cheated on his wife, stripped some woman naked and took pictures of her against her will and threatened to publish those photos if she told anyone. Remember how Trump said he could shoot a man on the street in broad daylight and not lose any supporters? Yeah, he wasn’t kidding. That’s how Republicans roll these days.

Not a Trump supporter but I know some who will support him no matter what and some who will change their minds.

they will vote even against their own interests because they are too stupid. for example, massive tax cut for the billionaires will increase the taxes for all the other people, including the ones that voted for trumpshit. that and many other things. they are blind by their own stupidity.

I think pushing people on impeachment hypotheticals is a waste of time. If Mueller has damning evidence the answer is likely to change for many.

If there is one phrase to describe modern republicans, it's "they fall in line". This could be seen when they flip-flopped on many of their most long-standing principles the moment Trump got nominated.

Sadly it is a large factor in politics in America that being a winner doesnt mean you have to be on the side of right. Trumps deals are littered with people he has cheated and done down. I am not blaming Trump for American politics here. I am blaming American culture for Trumps ability to thrive in the environment.

OK ill be the dummy - exactly was russia doing for DT ? - what did they do exactly to get him elected ?

He was right when he said people would support him as a murderer.

I think if the law went after all lying and cheating and obstructing I'd be okay with it IF they found something. But the fact that someone bleachbit evidence, smashed phones, lost emails and DIDN'T get into trouble... I'm guessing it would be unfair to prosecute anyone for doing the same or less that that other person....

I’m not an American, but Canadian politics isn’t that different. We spend so much time and effort interfering with other countries politics (aka Venezuela), that I don’t understand why we are up in arms when outside forces interfere here.

With all the hatred for Trump- if this investigation had anything significant against him- it would have been used already! It's just a colossal waste of time and $ from sore loser liberals.

I is gOdz

I didn't think we'd see an "honest answer" to all of that, but I'm a little disappointed that no one bit on the very first point about accepting assistance.

Here is the most telling findings to me from the article
"For Americans overall, those figures were 46 percent supported impeachment of accepting assistance (31 percent opposed), while 47 percent supported impeachment for obstruction (31 percent opposed)"
I believe the reason for this is an inherent distrust of Mueller and his investigation.

They wouldn't support impeaching Donald Trump even if the Kremlin awarded him the Gold Star.

They should change the name of the Republican Party...they only exist now to enable Trump’s crimes.

Nazis don't care about right or wrong, only power.

In time it will all come to an end. The staunch believers in Trump will be good soldiers till they die. But, they will die, and just like the statues to the Confederate generals all of the accolades to Trump will come down. All records will be corrected. History will win.
