In reply to the discussion: I now believe Trump will be removed from office. [View all]DemocratSinceBirth
(99,705 posts)115. What's the mechanism to remove Trump from office ?
Deplorables vote. Deplorables get to serve on juries, get to serve in Congress, et cetera
The best and most realistic way to end this madness is to outvote them and consequently curtail their power. What other mechanism do you see that removes Trump from office ? Mueller has already indicated he's not going to indict Trump and even if he does indict Trump it will likely take the remainder of Trump's term to litigate the indictment and see the process through to a verdict.

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

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

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.

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