It all hinges on how you describe "patriotism". If you want "loyal and vigorous support of your country" to be the meaning, then trumpublicans can agree, with the caveat that the dear leader is the embodiment of your country. If you have any questions about how this works just check out North Korea and Russia.
We know Natasha is full of it, because there's not one mention of process, procedure, or precedent in her commentary:

Isn't it well known that it's, um, not a transcript?

Just another in a long line of violations of the Presidential records act.

wasn't the released transcript was like 3 pages even though the call was like a half hour long?

Only if you bother to read the "Caution" at the bottom of the first page, and ignore Trump's repeated lies.

It seems kind of quiet out there. Where are the lulz? They are getting more faint I fear.
There are really very few responses left for the right right now.
"Let the voter's decide!" Let me just throw this simile out there. This is like arguing that we should let a heroin addict who was just picked up by the police standing in the middle of rush hour traffic screaming about ants crawling all over them, decide whether or not they want to continue shooting heroin. There are legit reasons for an intervention, national security is a pretty good one. Considering the abuse of power already done, why would we wait for something catastrophic to happen?
"But, but, but.....this is not the sort of thing you overturn an election over!" OK, list five legit reasons for impeaching a president. If National Security or Abuse of Power isn't in your list of five; then let's discuss your list some more.
"My tax cuts! WTF is going to happen to my tax cuts?" OK, I hear you now. Maybe a deal can be worked out with Pelosi to leave those in place for a few years in return for helping to kick tiny to the curb. I implore you DC, stop sucking up to tiny and start sucking up to Pelosi now! Suck up like my tax cuts depend on it you sleazy bitch!
"Only hearing first hand accounts of the phone call now! Where are the half and quarter hand accounts of the phone calls? " Meh, we are probably beyond that. Leave that argument to Tucker and Ingraham.
"Process!". Yeah I think this one is done now as well. Only the Fox News rubes are buying that any more and no need to work on their support as it is proven to be unconditional. Quit wasting energy working to keep the cockle burr that is already deeply embedded in your sock, and the trumpublicans need more than just that group at this point.
There may be more but I got go. There is a discussion of a big merger later today and I am the champion of this idea, so I need to get my head in the game for that discussion.

All of this should come as no surprise.
His mentor, other than his father, was Roy Cohn, a disbarred lawyer known for dirty tricks who wasn't gay but liked to have sex with men and who died from complications of AIDS. That Trump has spent the vast majority of his free time trying to be seen with beautiful women makes me think. He is trying to hide something. Closeted individuals are under extreme pressure. I think that's the fact we are seeing with Trump. He doesn't want to admit he is gay.
