In The End, Will They Care?

The rule of thumb in Trumpistan is that the scandal will unfold like this:

1) Trump is accused of doing something horrible.
2) Trump denies it.
3) The GOP expresses "concern."
4) The details come out and they are really bad.
5) Justifications are advanced that "everyone does this."
6) The GOP moves on and Democrats are left wondering what the hell is going on in America.

The Ukraine scandal is a little different, in that #1 was created by the whistleblower first, but most of this crap happens in public view.

The Turkey scandal feels a little different.  Republicans have shown a repeated ability to be unconcerned with wrong-doing among their political allies.  (see Kavanaugh, Brett)  But Trump's behavior in Turkey does appear to be beyond the Pale. There is no "everyone does it" defense. This makes Munich look like the Battle of Thermopylae. 

Everyone is waiting for the GOP Senate to break with this guy.  Any normal presidency would have ended already.

I just don't know if anything makes a difference with the Republican party right now.
