Definitely :lol:

I've always thought he wanted to lose and spend the next four years ranting about how the vote was rigged and Clinton scandals to magnificent mutual profit on Fox.

I think you've got that the wrong way round. I think the Republican party is the political wing of Fox. If the polls turn in a big way I think Fox would dump him.

How do the polls turn more against him when Fox is telling his fans that he's done nothing wrong?

It has a lot of viewers, for a news channel, and it helps him have a low floor. But the people who watch Fox News or any other news channel are already unusually politically engaged. The polls will turn if this reaches the tens of millions who tune in and out of politics.

Fox is starting to turn against him.  Maybe.

I don't think they can dump Trump until they find somebody who can crank the insane up even higher.

I think the decision making is far too centralized for that to be a meaningful distinction.

Napolitano is one of those strict constitution types, he is hardly representative of Fox.

But still - it was published on the Fox News website.  That's something.

And things are somewhat different with Lachlan Murdoch now running the show.  A Trump/Fox split is not impossible to imagine.

A lot of Fox News heads are also calling it a coup, so I don't think there near the tipping point yet, if they'll ever get there.

Romney has said Trump is wacked for asking China to investigate Biden.  If Donald goes twittertard on Romney that would ease the path to impeachment.

I'm not so sure.  Sheppard Smith and the Judge have been saying anti-Trump stuff for a long while now, as far as I know.  Whatever the reasons are for their contrarian attitude on Fox, it has never made an impact.

I'm hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY

Romney can easily run circles around Trump intellectually, which is exactly what he's doing. :)

McConnell says he will prevent impeachment to make it through the Senate.
