And yet it's *so* brazen at this point that I doubt it helps him much. The true believers turning on him over this scandal aren't merely seeking plausible deniability, even if they might once have accepted it.

Nah, they’ll fall in line. I don’t see there being any meaning amount of detractors on the right.

I don't know, Joe Rogan and Alex Jones aren't exactly giving off "about to drop it" vibes...

We will see what those two nutters do. I’m betting they’ll do whatever makes them the most money. As far as their right wing fan base, nothing Trump does will make them stop supporting right wing politicians/policies. Their hate for the left is what their entire personality is base upon.
