In reply to the discussion: I now believe Trump will be removed from office. [View all]Loge23
(3,922 posts)105. 2020 vote or an awakening of the American people...
...are the most likely ways to rid ourselves of this horror.
A health issue is always possible, but that will get us Pence, no bargain there but I do think Pence is not electable in 2020.
Sadly, I don't see any positive outcome from the Mueller investigation - his cultists will simply ignore any finding that implicate the beast. Only a massive uprising of the people - massive, sustained demonstrations in every city - will drive the beast away via resignation, brought on by pressure from his coward republicans.
Then, yet another rebuild will await the Dem who has to clean up the mess - all the while being blamed for the carnage we're charged with cleaning up (see Obama, 2008).
Either way, this is an epic shit stain in American history.

I keep thinking back to what Steve Schmidt told Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC about a year ago.

I remember Watergate. Thought it was puzzling and a real "nothingburger", AND THEN!,

You forget the carnival a case against Trump would be, televised. The Rethugs and Fox

Nixon resigned because he lacked the votes in the Senate to thwart conviction/removal.

We want the same outcome. Where we differ is in estimating the probability of it.

Removing him from office has nothing to do with affinity for Deplorables.

He knows that's a lie. He says things like that to keep his base with him.

Well, that's open. It's never been tried. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, Trump won't be indicted.

Trump will never resign. If Kavanaugh is confirmed, he won't be indicted or convicted.

The only reason Nixon resigned is because he didn't have the 67 votes in the Senate

I think that will happen anyhow. His name will be in the anti-pantheon of traitors

The military is solidly behind trump. It's a white wing organization close to NRA in support

I bet that indictments for Roger Stone, Don Jr, and Michael Cohen are on the way next

It would be fantastic if that happened but because of the complicit repukes, it's hard to imagine

I know, but if an impeachment should take place prior to that, he's still in the line of succession.

Could be - but little good would it do us if Dense Pense takes office instead.

Mueller will be allowed to finish his job and will issue a damning report most Deplorables...

I disagree...they will force a resignation and then try to elect Pence as an incumbent in 2020.
