‘Prediction professor’: Trump will be impeached

Actually that is reassuring because it flags Trump will be a figurehead only. But it also means he will play the blame game

 

Hey!

Its our own Joe Biden! Trump's impeachment insurance!

 

Yes he will

 

keep the butthurt coming. I've never seen such comedy in my life.

I seriously cannot wait for Brian Williams new tingle come election day. And Rachel Madcow will be blaming everyone. Someone will need to put Van Jones and Juan Williams in a padded room to keep them from jumping off Trump Tower. They will likely need sedated also.

 

Prof. Allan Lichtman is another liberal loon who has a BA in the liberal arts who thinks he's "Mr. Know It All."

He has associated with the SPLC, the reconquista groups like MALDEF and even the NAACP.

Having a BA in history doesn't make one a constitutional scholar as we found out with Obama being a community organizer and teaching Alinskyism at the Chicago Law School doesn't make you a scholar of any kind.

 

No surprise there. Back before he picked Pence everyone knew he wanted someone to do the heavy lifting while he sat back and played president. And anyone paying attention can see that Trump will swing whichever way the wind is blowing and has no allegiance to Republicans or any other ideology except Trump.

Is Alex Jones still waiting for Hillary Clinton to be arrested? I hope he packed snacks, it's going to be a long wait.

He did say it was just a gut feeling, so try not to read too much into it. Right or wrong, it does make for an interesting discussion though.

And how would that have any bearing on the subject at hand?

Being a research assistant for two years and earning a JD degree from Harvard certainly makes one a constitutional scholar.

 

I can easily see this happening. I was sure when Bush II was elected it would be a disaster. I was mortified! Sure enough, after 911 we saw the Constitution stretched beyond recognition, we attacked the wrong country to the tune of several trillion $, ignited and destabilized the ME, and watched the economy collapse as Bush left office. Trump scares me far more than Bush ever did. I would like to believe the man might rise to the occasion; that he didn't mean most of what he has said. But I don't think he can help himself. I think at some point he will lash out and do something illegal that rises to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor.

I give it a year before he is up on charges.

 

Pence would make a great Evangelical Christian President.

 

Don't be so sure about that. Hillary got about 10 million fewer votes than Obama did in 2008 (Sanders got 13 million in the primary). Those voters quite likely made the difference between Hillary winning or not. It's likely they will be calling for Hillary on a stick. The Democrats may have no choice but to throw her to the wolves to bring them back into the Democrat party, she's no good to the party any more.

 

I think Trump is, for the moment, doing all the right things. Remember how everyone said he would moderate after the RNC? He didn't. Well, he has now. At least he's talking inclusively, shaking hands with Paul Ryan, inviting

His administration will be shaped by three forces:

1. "Drain the swamp" vs getting (*)(*)(*)(*) done. He needs congressional Republicans, not that they'll vote against him. Should probably focus on draining the swamp on the executive side, and push for legislative reform in the midterms. Lynch sure as hell won't be AG for instance.

2. Rolling back the empire vs maintaining military supremacy. The neoconservative Republicans (of which there are many) don't want military weakness, yet he has to roll back bases, withdraw from NATO, moderate on Russia, etc. That could create a divide in the party. Needs to toe a fine line.

3. The Democratic filibuster (except on Supreme Court nominees as he'll take Tim Kaine's advice and use the nuclear option).

 

Nothing which occurs before Jan 20, 2017.

From who?

How so?

Absolutely, please do give it a shot, I'd be very interested with what you find. Likely that Trump won't use a private email server though.

 

You will not celebrate a Pence Presidency, I guarantee it.

The man is straight out of The Handmaiden's Tale and Revolt in 2100. A Christian Taliban is his ideal. Trump has at least a grudging respect for the idea of freedom. Pence has no use for it at all

 

We'll see.

 

I predicted Trump, but I don't foresee impeachment

 

Clinton wasn't a candidate Democrats could all rally around, which is ultimately why she lost, but they don't need to throw her to the wolves to get people to support Democrats again. While she got fewer votes that Obama in 2008, she still got more than Trump did in 2016. All Democrats need to do is sit back and let Trump be Trump. Either he'll waffle on his campaign promises and (*)(*)(*)(*) off conservatives, possibly to the point where they'll impeach him, or he'll do what he said and galvanize the 53% that didn't vote for him.

 

We had 8 years of our current bigot in chief. Did you survive?

 

There were 34 Senate seats and all 435 House seats, plus the Presidency up for election on November 8th. 24 Republican incumbents were up for re-election, the Democrats had 10 seats to defend in 2016. The Democrats gained 2 Senate seats and a total of 6 in the House, hardly a rebuke of the Republican Party. Bernie Sanders got 13 million votes in the Democrat primary to Hillary's 16 million. In the General election she got about 9 million less votes than Obama did in 2008. 5.8 million Sanders supporters said they wouldn't vote for Hillary, but she wasn't the one who hosed them down.........It was the party. If they sit back like you say, they won't be able to restore the trust of Sanders supporters who obviously didn't vote for Hillary, that was a rebuke of the Democrat party not just Hillary.

 

Rule 11. In before deletion/closed.

No. There is no high crime or misdemeanor, nor would a republican house impeach him, nor would a republican senate convict him.

Sorry to ruin your wet dreams.

 

Neither Sander or Clinton will be on the ballot come 2020, so I fail to see how this will be a problem for Democrats. The fact that they picked up Republican seats despite the loss of Clinton confirms this.

 

All of the what, 3 seats total? Your party is a fish in dead water.

 

Well, should we not wait to see if trump does an impeachable offense first? Ha ha.

What we can expect to see is the two party establishment fight him hard, and block anything that he wants that their owners, their elite donors, do not want. For one thing, the owners of the puppets demand open borders free trade. So, trump has 2 parties who do not want to address it. It may get contentious really fast, and we get both parties blocking what the trump voters voted for. Trump would need their help to drain the swamp. But he will no get it, from the men who created a swamp that needs draining. Ha ha.

The election gave us interesting times. The next few years will be interesting times as well as we see the implosion of two parties play out.

 

8 actually, 9 depending on how the runoff in Louisiana goes next month.

 

At the moment President Trump isn't pressing for prosecution of Hillary, but I'm sure that if the establishment come gunning for him, he'll go gunning for her..
As a great prophet once said-
"If somebody messes wid me, I'm a-gonna mess wid him!- Al Capone

 

Early days yet. Perhaps we should let him actually become the sitting president first and then -- oh I dunno -- act as one for at least half a year before speculating. I mean one needs some hard data upon which to speculate, yes?

 

Um . . . this OP is about Trump and not Barack Obama. Personally I don't trust Trump; but I admit that it's possible for him to turn out to be a good president. I do know that he would have to really work hard to become as bad of a president as has been the nation-hater RACIST Barack Obama.
