I wonder if that's true though. He's not called "Teflon Trump" for nothing.

He's the most moronic, most unprepared and most hated president ever. He lies more than 50% of the time. He has questionable views about minorities, women and global politics. Then he was elected.

Why would the Russia thing screw him when everything else despicable about him didn't?

Because it would show that he's compromised by a foreign power having salacious sex tapes on him. He could not be relied upon to reasonably fulfill the duties of the office. 

It would be far worse than Bill Clinton getting a BJ from a naive nobody intern in 1998. 

I think the odds of it are reasonably high too. The British spy is somone who's verified by the FBI and CIA to be reliable and they've used intel from him in the past. They also verified parts of the dossier. 

Secondly Trump himself in one of his business books years ago bragged about basically going to Europe for sex (he cites this as one of the reasons why he went bankrupt the first time because he "took his eyes off the ball"). 

Really, it doesn't take much to believe that Russia knowing that he's a billionaire tapped his hotel room. Likely all high profile visitors there are tapped.

If all the things he has done before don't prove that he is unfit for office, nothing will. That he is unfit was clear long befor the election. I don't see how this completely unacceptable action of a president is any different from the multitude of other unacceptable actions he took the past year.

He will just claim fake news, fire someone and then have his next unacceptable gaffe so people forget about it.
