If these revelations are substantiated and true, the Trump presidency is over before it even began. It won't last more than a year. And as far as Pence goes it will come down to what he knew and when he knew it.

(14,167 posts)Probably Ryan too... that would explain his disdain and his decision to just implement his own agenda instead of Team Trump's.
Pence has probably been distanced from the slime to offer plausible deniability if/when Trump is impeached.

this up their sleeve since then. I wondered if it was not the plan all along for the GOP to impeach him themselves. They certainly put up a fight to get Pence as VP.

(61,033 posts)The gang of eight, as they are being called, were informed of Russian interfering in the all.
Ryan, Comey, Pelosi, turtleman, Reid, heads of the Intel committee, and the president were all there.
The conventional wisdom then was that Hillary was going to win so the Dems didn't 'leak' it.
Comey, it seems had his own agenda. He spring his email letter to torpedo Clinton so trump would 'win'. I'm sure he had something to do with this info coming out now that trump is president-elect and the day before his first presser in 6 months.
The media is all over this, the presser, if it happens at all, will be a disaster for trump. If it doesn't happen, it will still be a disaster as trump will be seen as hiding.
The result eventually will be trump maybe taking over on 20 Jan. but he will be crippled and impeached before his first year ends, then Pence, Comey's kind of uptight repug, will then be president.

(19,994 posts)It just makes Trump the lackey of the GOP and prevents him from colluding with Putin.
Basically, in a best case scenario, it transfers the strings of the puppet from one hand to another.
Added bonus, Trump was publicly humilated.

(19,994 posts)They'd have impeached Obama for jaywalking, but I'm not sure they'll risk the scandal of impeaching one of their own.

(4,858 posts)...and simply claim the election was a fraud. This won't prevent Pence--or anyone else--from assuming the office if Trump goes down. But the Dems should deny, deny, deny any legitimacy he claims, in that case. Keep saying the "President" is a fraud, boycott the State of the Union speeches, and--above all--deny the legitimacy of their Supreme Court appointments. As for those who say this will create a Constitutional crisis--one, the Repubs wouldn't hesitate were the shoe on the other foot; and two, we're already *in* a Constitutional crisis--the worst since the Civil War. The Dems of course won't do this--it's impossible to imagine the Democratic party going for the jugular. But they should.

(96,601 posts)They are culpable. He has been doing this his entire life and they all turned a blind eye. They enabled him.
He was on tape and admitted that he grabs pu**ys. Assaults women without their permission. He is on the NRC stage during the convention literally groping his daughters ass. He did it in the front of the stage for all America to see.
You don't think they don't know exactly the man that he is? Yes they do. He has been doing it all his life and his family has enabled him every step of the way. They are as guilty as he is.
I hope he doesn't make it to the 20th.

(96,601 posts)He has a history of Alzheimer. We have never seen a medical report. It went on to say he is very unstable and his family never leaves him alone with anyone. I scared.
