Hindsight is 20/20, but what's scarier to me is the approval ratings[0]

There's still apparently 40% of the population that approves of this behavior. staggering 72% of republicans still approve of this behavior.

This did spike his approval ratings, but such an utter breach in the government really should be much closer to democrat's 10% here instead of the normally middling behavior of "bad" president's 40%. There's stll way too many people approving of this. For reference, Nixon's ratings right before resigning was 24%.
