POLL: Do you think we're going to have to deal with 4 years of Trump?

[RKP5637]

Really, what is going to be left of this country. Something is going on, it's all getting far too weird.

Do you think Trump will still be President 4 years from now?

1. I'm afraid to even venture a guess... Every day a new horror...

[RKP5637]

6. It is! FSS, I wake up each morning and turn on the TV to see what next horror show is

happening. I don't think I've ever been this uncomfortable in the US, in that I've never felt the level of incompetence to be so extreme, in fact in so many ways, so many levels.

[hlthe2b]

21. You know, I can't help a thought I keep having and it pains me to say...

but, though I'd always wanted kids, I'm thankful (increasingly each day) that I don't have them.

Not to suggest I'm not tremendously worried about everyone else's kids, I surely want to add... I AM!

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

42. For most of my adult life I desperately wanted kids

and learning I was infertile was terribly distressing to me. But starting about five years ago it became a source of relief since I don't even want to contemplate what the world is going to look like in fifty years and I know there is nothing I could possibly do to shelter them from the forces that threaten to burn the west to the ground.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

2. He'll be gone before the leaves turn again.

[onecent]

13. I hope you're right. Maybe you know something I don't know.....

But bless you for having some confidence.....

[sprinkleeninow]

35. Yes, that's the ticket. I'm with you on that.

It's mounting. Pressure building under the surface.
It gonna blow. 🌋

Got a feelin' in mah bones.
Y'all will see and be glad. 🔜🎁

Stay even keel evabody! 🚢 🤗

💝 ?

[Ilsa]

47. Jarvanka will bail, then then he'll go nuts

and the investigation will get to him. Yeah, I'm hoping he'll be gone before the leaves change.

[Different Drummer]

3. I'm not so sure the U.S. will still exist four years from now. n/t

[SHRED]

4. If this insanity continues to be normalized...yes

[Quemado]

5. He'll be gone within 18 months, possibly sooner, depending on

how long it takes to conduct the various investigations.

[RKP5637]

8. That's pretty much my thought too. n/t

[moonscape]

63. Depending how long it takes

Republicans to finally be more afraid for the country than for themselves.

It will take a courageous one, then two, three ... then maybe the dam will finally break.

[TrollBuster9090]

7. Two years until the midterm elections...then six months to impeachment.

That's my guess.

[Amishman]

67. I don't think impeachment will go through. 67 senators is out of reach.

And his ego will never let him resign.

So 4 years of embarrassment and Hugh blood pressure it is.

[TrollBuster9090]

72. Actually, I'd prefer he NOT be impeached.

I'd prefer four years of him embarrassing the GOP, and four years of the GOP self-destructing by defending and covering up for 45.

However, I think you'll easily get to 67 by counting the Republican Senators who want to get rid of him because they think Pence would be less embarrassing, more of a puppet to the GOP legislative agenda, and more polished at being a politician.

[Xipe Totec]

9. We'll be cleaning up his mess for decades.

So, no, we're going to have to deal with more than 4 years of Trump, even if he's gone before the end of the year.

[RKP5637]

18. That's the sad part of this whole damn thing. He will be long gone, but the mess will continue. n/t

[CanonRay]

10. No, but we'll have to deal with 3 years of Pence

[MFM008]

11. He will resign

Or die , one way or another.

[Rollo]

12. I honestly don't know..

But I think he should be given all the rope he needs to hang himself.

So we can be rid of Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell in 2020.

[helpisontheway]

14. Eight years...he has power so will fix next election. Nt

[putitinD]

15. He'll be gone before Labor Day!

[Solly Mack]

16. I don't know.

He could easily be impeached and convicted, if the GOP so desired. He doesn't seem to have reached liability level to them yet.

Which actually scares me a little. Since Trump is an obvious liability to all things sane.

[RKP5637]

19. Scares me too! The GOP seems to want him no matter what. n/t

[Solly Mack]

24. Trump is their tool...it's the hands behind the tool that we need to expose and destroy.

Along with the tool, of course.

[jaysunb]

22. They're already at that level, but believe they

can blow through it like they've done for years now. I think they have guessed wrong this time.

[Solly Mack]

23. I hope so. I really do.

[leftstreet]

25. That's the truly scary thing

"He doesn't seem to have reached liability level to them yet."

Makes you wonder what it would take

[Solly Mack]

28. I worry about the normalization of the bad.

It happens, even when people think it isn't.

The Patriot Act is still around and it is still bad - but it is more or less accepted as normal now.

Private prisons, confiscation of property, even from the innocent...still happening.

Voter suppression being made "legal" by the states through gerrymandering and ID laws. Sure, people fight back but it hasn't stopped them from trying.

Make it legal, and those not affected tend to accept it.

The same can happen with what is going on under Trump/GOP now.

The more bad people accept, the easier to do worse.

[Mr. Ected]

17. Don't know how it will make a difference

If the GOP can keep itself afloat under the Trumpanzee, imagine how easily they could obstruct and destroy without him.

[RKP5637]

20. Very good point! n/t

[ladjf]

26. Some how or the other, America is going to get rid of that plague. nt

[Awsi Dooger]

27. I'll be surprised at less than 8 years

Incumbents are almost never defeated when their party has been in power only one term. Jimmy Carter is the only exception in more than a century.

Trump inherited an economy on the verge of upswing. Unfortunately, he'll receive undeserved credit. Today the stock market reached new highs.

The scandalous stuff is no doubt legit, and worse than we believe, but those remedies are extremely low percentage. I default to big picture logic. We're stuck.

[LeftInTX]

56. Yes, we have to build our party from the bottom up

It is going to be a long ride.

[Freethinker65]

29. Yes, unless he dies or we die

[Tiggeroshii]

30. At this point I'm resigned to say yes. Hoping I'm super wrong, obviously

[femmocrat]

31. I think he will resign. Not sure when, but it's coming.

He is obviously in poor health and has a mental impairment of some sort. Unfortunately, we will be stuck with Pence because there will be an appetite for stability after all the trump chaos.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

32. As long as Trump doesn't obstruct the Republican agenda...

They will tolerate anything and everything up to and including treason.

I am already having nightmares about 2018.

[Voltaire2]

33. Well if he is then we will be dealing with 8 years of Trump.

I've given up predicting. I failed to predict Trump. However if the "Republican leaders" will not act to impeach a president who is pretty clearly in cahoots with a at least partly hostile foreign government, then it is quite possible we will see eight years of this idiot and possibly many more years of republican-fascist rule.

The question is what do we do about that?

What can we do about that?

[adigal]

34. I think he will stroke out or his Alzheimers will continue to get very very bad

There are already mainstream stories that this isnt what he thought it would be, he is isolated, emotionally withdrawn, even Joe Scarborough casually said Trump,is said to be eating way too much. Haha.
He is a spoiled, obese, 70 year old man who many who know say has Alzheimers or dementia. He is not having fun. I give him until the end of the summer before he either resigns blaming "crying Schumer" and fake media for blocking all his great plans, or he strokes the hell out.
I am not wishing this, as he must have some people who love him, but I am predicting this.

[RKP5637]

39. He gave up a lot, now he endures the worldview of his shenanigans 7x24, can not hide, can't buy

it off, can't bully it away and most of the world thinks he's an asshole. At some level, that must pry on his mind, one would think. It has to be stressful.

[Old Terp]

36. There is a final taco bowl out there with his name on it.

Either that or info about Ivanka's collusion with the Russians will come out. Heaven knows they have info on so many of his people.

[Quixote1818]

37. He is very reckless. I would think the odds are that he will go too far sooner or later

or perhaps have a nervous breakdown.

[RKP5637]

38. Similar thoughts. I think he will eventually trip himself up. He's far too admired in himself and

does not live in reality.

[VOX]

40. A depressing "Yes": most GOP assholes will have to want him out.

His team is lawyering up for a long, pitched battle. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. But with #45, "normal" procedures don't apply. A majority of Republicans in Congress will have to openly turn on him, and I can't foresee that happening, unless he turned out to be a pedophile or something equally shocking.

In the meantime, the RW media-machine is cranking overtime to keep polishing the absolute turd that is #45 and his cohorts. There is a small chance that he will crack under the prolonged strain, making his removal medically necessary.

Even if he's removed from office, the very emotionally disturbed SNOWFLAKE won't shut up, he'll be whining to the media 24/7.

[RKP5637]

51. Yep, the asinine GOP works very hard to normalize this deranged asshole. n/t

[Stuart G]

41. I changed my mind on this..

At first I said yes, but now I think otherwise.....This decision will be very difficult to justify, along with the rest of the Russian stuff...Now it is both, and both will cause this to end early.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

43. Either way, we will have some bastard in there screwing us over.

[RKP5637]

50. That's the trend with these guys, that's their entire existence, F'en over someone else. n/t

[madville]

44. Yes

Republicans won't let impeachment get through the House, House members are more secure to vote against because of their gerrymandered districts. Any Republican that votes to impeach him may as well resign because they would guarantee themselves getting primaried out the next election.

[alcibiades_mystery]

45. There will not be a non-Trump family President again in our lifetimes

It's well and truly over.

[ADX]

55. That depends on how old you are...

...You must be in your 90's.

[alcibiades_mystery]

60. I'm in my 40s

It's done.

Donald, some Ivanka-Kushner mix, followed by Donald Jr., and maybe Barron.

It will be this for thirty years, with massive bloodshed.

[ADX]

68. Oh ye of little faith...

...stop being so pessimistic; that ain't gonna happen, no way, no how. Chump and his spawn will be lucky to get through the next three and a half years, let alone occupy the WH for the next three decades.

Cheer up...

[alcibiades_mystery]

69. Millions of people

are going to be murdered.

[Kaleva]

46. Holding some KFC, he'll go out like Scarface, figuratively speaking.

As the variuos investigations close in on him, Trump will be screaming "Come talk to my Original Recipe friends!!!".

[Doreen]

48. Does it matter anymore if he goes out or not?

I mean most of his administration is on his side and will just continue without him. I fear that if he manages 8 years then there will more than likely never be another election. Dictators do not allow elections and if they do they do not mean a damn thing at all ( look at the elections they have in Russia. ) Unless we can take the entire administration down we are screwed.

[RKP5637]

49. Yeah, it's just about almost a war. The US vs. the GOP. n/t

[Lil Missy]

52. Since DU consensus is usually wrong, I'm reluctant to say. Lest it be wishful thinking.

[workinclasszero]

53. Well we can wait on the republican party to do the right thing...

x10000000000000000

Of course with his horrible diet, zero exercise and morbidly obese 70 year old body the Trumpenfuhrer might just lock up his heart and keel over at any minute.

Then we will have his holiness Pope Pence to deal with.

[Kennah]

54. Sadly, yes, I fear we'll have to tolerate him for 4 years

Hoping the D's take the House in 2018. That will crush Trump's soul. Senate is far less in play, but a shift of even a few seats would be great.

Maybe, just maybe, the D's take the House in 2018, shift control of the Senate significantly, and Donnie decides to give up and go home.

[LeftInTX]

57. Remember there were lots of people saying he wouldn't last 6 weeks, 100 days etc.

[RKP5637]

64. Yes, same thought crosses my mind all the time. Everyone always said never, and here we are. n/t

[Fiendish Thingy]

58. I think it all depends on Meuller's investigation

If any bombshells are dropped, and underlings get indicted, and the GOP senses its majorities are threatened, then and only then might we have a chance of Trumpus Interruptus.

[RKP5637]

66. Hopefully, that will be the major turning point. If nothing really turns up, that will be horrible,

it will give Trump tremendous credibility for some.

[kimbutgar]

59. Yes the rethugs are party over counttry

They love money and power more than the best interests of the American people. Those paid rethug whores are so self serving to their own interests. And stupid voters keep electing them and expecting things to change. When will they ever learn,....if ever!

[RKP5637]

65. Yep, main problem, stupid voters doing same stupid things over and over again. n/t

[La Lioness Priyanka]

61. even if we win back the house and house impeaches him

senate will have to remove him from office, and we won't have the votes

[Gothmog]

70. trump will resign when the going gets tough

[Bradical79]

71. If not impeached first, I think he will die

or be rendered incapable of holding office due to to being a 70+ year old man with extremely poor health. Stroke or heart attack is going to do him in before his term is up, imo.
