      This one has legs. They’re trying to quash it for some reason. I’m not saying it’ll bring down Trump, even though he’s obviously in there, but it’ll probably bring down at least a few senators.

      And Trump’s base is breaking with him on this like they haven’t done in a decade. This is bigger and worse than I’ve ever seen. If it shifts the balance of power in Congress, I could see something happening to him too.
