Extra-special Make America Great Again Educated Guess Thread. How long will he last in office? [View all]

I don't see four years happening.

Ryan and McConnell are chomping at the bit, and it's because of a Republican majority in the House and Senate, they joys of using "reconciliation" to push their agendas through, and...even though some Republicans are against it...doing away with the filibuster if Democrats actually utilize it.

There is no way in hell that they see Trump as an "idea man." They see him as a rubber stamp when needed. It's basically Mitch and Paulie Walnuts running the Sopranos' waste disposal business.

I don't think Trump is going to make it through four years...I do believe we will see "President Pence."

That said, no matter how they spin it, if the Republicans unseat the orange shitgibbon, they are going to end up with egg on their collective faces. So they can't do it on day one, but they will do it as soon as the pain in their collective ass is greater than the potential pain of removing Little Lord Golden Commode.

When do we think this is most likely to happen?
