that's what happened in 1974 when barry goldwater and hugh scott and john rhodes went to richard nixon and said you have no more support from your fellow republicans. that's what forced him out of office and that's what any president under this kind of investigation has to worry about. >> here's the problem, the damage is already done. it would be one thing if the white house checked with mitch mcconnell and, you know, mitch mcconnell was like, we can't support you on this. they already announced the doral thing. they already admitted the quid pro quo. it's already out there. so it really -- the climb back is maybe a little too little too late. it has already put republicans in a really tough position. it's emboldened democrats. i mean, regardless of what happens with impeachment, whether the president is actually removed from office or not, democrats are now armed with half a dozen examples of corruption and self-dealing that they can use in a political context going into this next election up and down the ballot. it's really a tough position that trump has already put republicans in.
