That assumes the conservative press will actually cover this scandal for what it is.

I checked Fox, OANN, Breitbart, Newsmax, and Infowars. Of those outlets, Newsmax is only covering the attacks themselves, not the breach of national security[0], Fox is criticizing The Atlantic and calling them a partisan rag that's getting humiliated by Trump[1], and Infowars is downplaying and making excuses while also claiming The Atlantic is run by globalist (by which Alex Jones means Jewish) pedophiles[2]. For Infowars and Fox, I had to scroll pretty far down their respective front pages to find any mention of this.

I think it's safe to say Trump will continue to retain the support of his base because his base are insulated from these inconvenient truths.
