This is so ironic.They made the last election about his integrity and Hillary won...How many Senate Republicans will stake their electoral futures on the honesty of Donald Trump and his family members?
These are the senators facing re-election fights in 2020 - CNNPolitics
"Democrats faced a more challenging Senate map in 2018 than Republicans, in part because they had more seats up for election. But in 2020, the GOP will have to defend more Senate seats than Democrats. As of now, there will be 22 Republican Senate seats on the line, while Democrats will only need to protect 12 seats..."

Foreign emoluments?
Domestic emoluments?
Obviously, all politicians are corrupt, since they could never raise enough money to get elected if they didn't follow ruling class scripture.
But Trump's presidency rests on a foundation of fraud that will likely crumble over the next 19 months.
Will Republicans sacrifice their party on the altar of Trump?
I sure hope so.Trump made the last election about "draining the swamp"They made the last election about his integrity and Hillary won...
How has that worked out?
Actually, its worked out pretty well so far. Swamp creatures like Comey and McCabe are history. The Deep State's hate for President Trump shows how effective he's been.Trump presides over the most corrupt administration in recent US History:Actually, its worked out pretty well so far.

"Donald Trump promised to drain the Washington swamp. Instead, he has surrounded himself with family members, appointees and advisers who’ve been accused of conflicts of interest."
, misuse of public funds, influence peddling, self-enrichment, working for foreign governments, failure to disclose informationand violating ethics rules. Some are under investigationor facing lawsuits, others have resignedand five have either been convicted or pleaded guilty, including three for lying to government officials. Scandals plague all administrations, but Trump’s is only two years old and the allegations keep on coming
Considering the fact that Democrats created Obamacare..which costs us trillions....and are responsible for $152 billion in extra ANNUAL expenditures paying for all of the illegals they've encouraged to come to the US. Then there's their Green New Deal proposal which will cost us $92 TRILLION DOLLARS.
We spend more money paying for Democrat's fuckups than we do for anything else.
Even if all your allegations above are accurate, how does that absolve Trump from running the most corrupt administration in the last hundred years?Considering the fact that Democrats created Obamacare..which costs us trillions....and are responsible for $152 billion in extra ANNUAL expenditures paying for all of the illegals they've encouraged to come to the US.

"The Trump Organization generated at least $500 million of revenue in 2017, according to the president’s most recent financial disclosure. Trump transferred ownership of the business before his inauguration to a trust run by sons Donald Jr. and Eric and longtime executive Allen Weisselberg and promised not to embark on any new projects outside the U.S. But the moves didn’t mollify critics.
"That the president can revoke the trust and withdraw money at any time has helped prompt lawsuits alleging he is violating the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The arrangement has provoked concerns that foreign governments can curry favor with the president by renting rooms at his luxury hotel in Washington or deploying state-owned companies to develop overseas projects, as some suggested a Chinese firm may have done when it agreed to help build a $500 million entertainment complex in Indonesia that includes a Trump-branded hotel."
Trump is the classic crony-capitalist who found a way to cut out the middlemen (and women), and if you truly object to Clinton Foundation malfeasance, how can you not object to Trump's?
