It may be out of our hands with Mueller but I would love to keep this evil moron around until the midterms when there is an excellent chance of taking back the House.
It's risky keeping this monster around but it may be worth it.
So...I'm ready...Flame away.

We need to get the first 4 at least in the line of succession out of there.

(65,334 posts)would rise up and demand that the easily compromised voting machines be replaced by hand counted paper ballots, that voter suppression tactics be reversed and outlawed, with truly draconian penalties, that the obvious winner of the presidential election be sworn in to her rightful office, and that all the downticket races be revoted in an election do-over, on the basis that they were almost certainly compromised as well.
The Dem leadership should have done far more about the voting machines and voter suppression tactics, and done it much, much sooner, but I have always suspected a sort of "gentleman's agreement" among some of the most powerful on both sides--to leave the hinky situation alone as long as THEY got to keep their comfy sinecures, and especially as long as they didn't have to fear serious primary challenges.

If Pence takes his place the damage might be far worse..

(42,302 posts)Keep this dumpster fire going, along with Repub incompetence, till at least nearer the mid-terms. Pence gets caught up in the Trump corruption floodzone and both of them get gone. D's take over the House.
Hello, President Pelosi!

(11,097 posts)I think it a close question. It would be great to see Trump do as much damage as he can to the GOP between now and the midterms. The problem is that he can do real damage to the world - Presidents can start wars - really nasty ones.
I'm not sure it's completely in Mueller's hands. The GOP leadership is also aware that Trump will likely be a drag on their prospects in the midterms. IF the GOP leadership think that Trump will cost them the House or Senate, they will throw him under the bus. There is no honor among thieves.

Impeachment does not 100% guarantee removal and this freak narcissist will never resign. Pence needs to go as well as Ryan and mid terms are not a given with the rampant corruption of the voting processes still corrupt to the Republican/Comrade core.
The destruction and damage has been so quick and severe, how in holy hell can we survive many more months???

He also could very well be re-elected in 2020.
We need to live in reality, unpleasant as it may be.

(1,570 posts)The '18 election is going to be so rigged we may end up losing seats. Keep in mind, Pence is leading a voter surpression committee right now.
50 state voter ID anyone?
