    Itā€™s funny that you mention THOSE Republicans because Iā€™m old enough to remember when all three were hailed as the second coming of Hitler by the left. Weird how thatā€™s changedā€¦

      Iā€™m old enough to remember and I donā€™t recall anything so severe as the second coming of Hitler. The worst I recall was Gingrich and Dick Chaney being considered pretty vile, and Bush Jr being seen as lacking competence.

      Trump feels unique in how obviously corrupt he wants to go.

      As a point of comparison, no one ever even broached the topic of impeachment with W Bush. As disappointed as folks were with facets of his presidency, currying personal favors and working to subvert elections were not anywhere in sight.
