The less radical section of the PMDB, those that usually disagree with the PT, and this includes the Vice-President Michel Temer, have been , over the last few months, slowly but surely distancing themselves from fat arse. They know damned well, that even if she is not impeached, it won't be healthy for their political careers to be seen aligning themselves with fatty and the PT.
The sooner she goes, the better for Brazil.
