THERE'LL BE A LOT OF DO-OVERS

Republican strategist Steve Schmidt:



Nahhh.

Let's assume the best-case scenario: President Trump is called to account for his crimes and/or his incompetence and leaves office in disgrace. Every enabler except a few who were directly entangled with Trump will get do-overs. They'll still be invited on Sunday talk shows. They'll be offered cushy jobs at universities and lobbying firms. They'll be welcome to run for office again or serve in future Cabinets. Their cocktail-party invitations won't trail off. The world of insider politics will just turn the page, just the way the page was turned after George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, and even, only a few years later, after Richard Nixon. We'll never be rid of these bastards. That's the way it works.
