Trump voters are confident that the Donald can handle anything they throw at him as he has demonstrated in the election campaign.

He won a narrow victory (with fewer total votes), against a candidate that couldn't show her face in public because, every time she did, she lost even more support. Let's not make Trump out to be something he is not. He managed to energize a segment of voters who had been previously apathetic, but he was hardly some kind of political genius (I say this as a supporter -- I think our country needs him, badly, but he is also a flawed person who rubs a lot of people the wrong way -- including many who voted for him). You want to leave him alone, to face an inevitable impeachment process, because ... you see him as a political superman? That makes no sense whatsoever. I hate to be pessimistic but, realistically, if a serious impeachment process occurs he has little chance of political survival. That is just reality. And no amount of twittering can change that.

The Republican candidate just lost a senate seat in Alabama(!), centering around 40 year old, suspect, charges of dating women who were much younger than him and, one very suspect charge that he dated someone who was just underage. Alabama! A Republican candidate should be able to be discovered with a live boy, a dead girl, and a farm animal, and still win a race in Alabama by double digits. Face it: the well orchestrated campaign to make sexual harassment the great scourge of our generation is working, at least politically. And that well orchestrated campaign's target is not an obscure senate seat, but, rather, the person you believe to be some kind of political savant.

As I said, I have no idea what the grassroots can do about it. Maybe the opposition forces have amassed too much power. Such was the danger in ceding academia, tech, the media, culture, education, and just about everything else, to those who wish to destroy middle America. But the defiance that I keep hearing just rings hollow. Their plans are now obvious, they are being transparent, and they no longer are even pretending. It does make one wonder why they are behaving with such apparent confidence, and such fearlessness towards the voters.

Regardless of his narrow victory, the fact that he had so much against him including the freaking FBI and DOJ shows that he has amazing political instincts and yes could be considered a genius. I can't think of any modern day politician who could withstand that assault. Look at Alabama, he did warn in the primaries that Moore might have problems in the general(instincts). Maybe the GOP Bama voters should have listened. Water under the bridge.

The President is always positive so while I am under no illusions that his enemies don't have skulduggery on their minds , his supporters will feed off that positivity to help him fight back.
