Nothing makes you look more pro-working man, anti-elitist establishment like pardoning a felon like Manafort.
Personally, a pardon now:
A. Bolsters accusations of Trump’s obstruction of justice.
B. Gives democrats yet another campaign issue to gash the GOP with.
Personally, I’d like to see a moderate functioning Conservative party in America. One that debates issues rather than dog whistle the lowest among us or cheat with gerrymandering. So I’d love for the GOP to kill this trumpian cancer now. You can see it spreading throughout the party. Yet another republican accused of horrific crimes from San Diego.
But apparently they want to ride this out. Apparently they think their hold on the deplorable Fox News viewer is good enough to maintain their level of power. So fine with me. If they want us to dominate this country on every level, keep riding the Trump train. Democrats will take over the house and senate here in a few months. Take the White House in 2020. Continue to make devastating progress in state legislatures and governor mansions. In 2020 we get to redraw districts. So keep riding this trump train republicans. Your party is shrinking as anyone smart, educated, or decent is fleeing it.
Republicans can either suffer defeats for the next few years or decades. Their choice in the next few months will determine the fate of their party for potentially generations.

we debate issues, but instead of having counter arguments. you call us names!
Not me. Every show has a commentator willing to hit at their base. Like the token black guy in a movie.

Regardless of what the immediate future brings, a pardon for Manafort perhaps(and Trump's tweets regarding Manafort can be seen as laying the groundwork for such a pardon), the firing of Mueller perhaps, regardless, things are not going to end well for this president. Not a chance are things going to end well for this presidency. The Democrats will win the House, at the least, and the days of reckoning will be at hand. Mueller is approaching this administration as if the President were the head of a Mafia family, and when all is said and done, this administration is a criminal enterprise and the truth will out. We will cut this cancer from the body politic, though it will take longer to unravel and expose the alternate reality that has created a cult around the figure of Trump. That will be one task for the future, once we are rid of this criminal President.

Here is an interesting bit of information emerging from Cohen's guilty pleas that may be worth keeping an eye on:

And, since Brad Parscale is Trump's 2020 campaign manager, some background on how he may be connected to the Russian scandal may be in order:

So Trump is now saying that the economy will tank if he gets impeached. IF he gets impeached. I think he meant WHEN.
“If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash,” Trump told Fox News. “I think everybody would be very poor. Because without this thinking you would see, you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”
“If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash,” Trump told Fox News. “I think everybody would be very poor. Because without this thinking you would see, you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”
"Illegitimate Administration" has to be on the minds of at least some people. Removing the guy at the top puts in someone else that ran with him.
IF it's proven in courts of law(not public opinion) that the presidency was won via blatantly unlawful means, are we prepared(as a nation) for removing the entire administration? Do we have that contingency plan? Are we really going to say "Yeah, X campaign won via ill-gotten and illegal means. But it'll be ok so long as we only remove the guy at the top"?
I'm not sure we do. A new amendment, perhaps?
I don't know what I think, but in all honesty it's not much of a stretch from all the crap we've seen over the years from politicians.
Also, mocking the idea of something is exactly what someone doing that would want to happen. That's a classic way to dismiss it.
You see it all the time as a tactic used by the "bad guy" in movies over the years. One small example is the Disney 3 Musketeers with Tim Curry, he uses that exact thing to discredit people trying to call him out to the King. It was in a movie, it must be true.
