In Tapper’s own words:
“President Trump has something that Nixon didn’t have, he has Fox News. He has an army of trolls. He has sites, websites that will defend anything he says or does, and that could very well come into play. They are already coming to his defense!”
See for yourself:
CNN's Jake Tapper: "Nixon had a much better legal apparatus to defend him and Bill Clinton did as well during their impeachments than President Trump has, but President Trump has something that Nixon did not have. He has Fox News. He has an army of trolls. He has websites…" pic.twitter.com/jFc8Tny1ZP

Why Do Trump Supporters Oppose Impeachment?
Many Democrats are frustrated with the fact that Republicans are not in favor of impeachment. This frustration is amplified by the reality that the GOP maintains control of the Senate. This means that even if the House manages to gain the necessary votes to pass impeachment legislation to the Senate, the Senate will most definitely shut it down.
Trump supporters oppose impeachment due to the lack of evidence to support impeachment. Thus far, there is no evidence that the president has committed any impeachable offenses. Right now, Democrats are accusing the president of engaging in a quid-pro-quo with the Ukraine leader. However, transcripts of Trump’s conversation with his Ukraine counterpart show that no quid-pro-quo happened.
