Mitt romney and a few others who potentially, only potentially might bolt but this is a president that ghknows robert frost poet said the only way out is through. the only way donald trump can get out of this is go through impeachment and get out ahead because the senate trial wont reject him from the white house and hell be able to be running full steam in march and april with his base around him and hell try to build that 70% back up to the 90% of his dreams. >> so, doug, the president, on fri...
