I'm going with 18 months. I'm envisioning the establishment Republicans providing him with all the rope he needs/wants with which to hang himself. Probably around mid-2018, he will be impeached, said impeachment carried out by "his own" party. Pence would then be president, what the R's wanted all along. All this "kumbaya" stuff with Ryan, Romney, and Cruz just for show right now.

For that scenario to work well, they have to conspire to somehow make Trump look like just about the worst president ever in short time without somehow managing to get their own hands dirty in the process while controlling everything so what's left of their party doesn't join the other half of the country that is pissed off and protesting.

I threw in one comma to lessen the blow of that run-on.

are there enough voters on the electoral college being blackmailed by the Clinton Crime syndicate to keep him from even starting?

What is interesting in your post is the very same thing that you missed in the general, Trumps plan includes winning a second term. Lets say the black community get some jobs and is denied 75 to 80% of the drugs volume to sell that is current. A couple of years stepping up to a job because it is the only game in town, democrats losing blacks for years to come. Something much better than Obamacare, no one will trust democrats for years to come. Don't be smug and think someone is going to hang themselves when the plan is really something your not ready for.

There's a ten or twelve step process liberals have to go thru before they come out of the darkness that you cupcakes call Electionmageddon. It appears you have at least eight more steps before you can think clearly.

I really feel it is in everyone's best interest to give people who were born here a leg up, by eradicating this opioid drug scourge. Border control will be very effective, when deportations get into full swing job programs can have a huge effect on the black community. Those deported will be from all over the world and not just points south.

Jobs for the Black Community? The black community will be lucky if its unemployment rate isn't over 50% by end of Trump's term. And the rest of us won't be that much better off.

This is much worse than even I expected. Jeff Sessions as Attorney General? John Bolton as Secretary of State? Sarah Palin as Airhead in Chief? Sorry, I meant Interior Secretary. Trump's proposed cabinet list is a tribute to incompetence, fanaticism and general malfeasance.

Is it really opinion that making selections based upon loyalty is not the same thing as selecting them based upon merit? If the point is that Trump is being both loyal and he thinks that they are the best or that maybe he isn't even being loyal but just think that they are best - well, okay. Just not entirely sure which part you mean, but I dunno... some of these are the same guys that he said were no effin good in any way a few months ago. I definitely don't think that I will like the way that these likely appointees will shape policy, that is most certainly my opinion. If I didn't think that way, I'd probably have been supporting them for the last few decades in their various positions within the Republican party lockerroom.

I don't think that I'd love him in some of the roles that have been floated for him, but I do think that at least in his case he has always been an achiever.

This is what I remember most about Giuliani. 1995

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani yesterday moved to give himself and other city elected officials raises of up to 28 percent, instantly infuriating union leaders whose members -- making an average salary one-third that of the Mayor -- are being asked this month to accept a two-year wage freeze.

http://nyti.ms/2ff7Btm

and 1999

Mayor Giuliani’s salary could soar to $195,000 next month – making him the highest-paid mayor in the country.

A special commission yesterday recommended pay raises of 10 to 28 percent for the mayor and the city’s other top elected officials, starting July 1.

Giuliani’s $165,000 salary is scheduled to jump 18 percent, to $195,000, propelling him past Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, who, at $192,100, now leads the nation’s mayors.

http://nyp.st/2fsjObM

I think that I got about a total of 4% under Giuliani & wage freezes for at least 4 years.

Yeah, I wasn't a huge fan in general. Trying to not be a total downer on most of those guys and I'd have to say faults and all he was probably on balance the best mayor of the last bunch. I did not much care for the way that they (Bratton mainly, I suppose) decided to 'clean up' by cracking down on everything at the time, but ultimately they left the place looking a whole lot nicer and friendlier for tourists and visitors in particular. As a US Attorney he has a solid legend of accomplishment. I just overall can't knock him in the context of being effective and being competent in pursuit of a goal. He's put together a pretty good running line there.

Easy Goer... I think it might be a wee bit tough for Trump to crack the Top Five... considering they are Lincoln, Washington, Reagan, FDR and Coolidge....

But, he will prove to be an outstanding president, IMO, especially since the media thinks so little of the guy. And as we all know, the media never, ever gets anything right.

The guy's a winner and smarter than hell. Plus, the country is in dire straits right now and in need for such a guy as Trump. The stars are aligned for greatness, even if the left wing smarty pants on OT-General think differently. :)

Depends on the economy.If it's going great guns, Trump gets re-elected.If it's sputtering and the Democrats have a better candidate than Hillary Clinton (i.e. pick a name out of the phone book), Trump is a one termer.
The good thing for Trump is that all this controversy is happening in the early part of his term.Americans have short memories so if he can wade through it, he could win in 2020.
I'm still taking the one term. I'm not a doomsdayer on the economy but it's fragile and a lot of the low hanging fruit has been picked.

He hasn't done anything impeachable yet. Sharing info with the Russians may have been dumb, but not a crime. Comey's memo is his version of what he and Trump talked about when alone in the Oval Office. And Trump expressed a hope, not an order. Since Trump is the chief executive and Comey works in the executive branch, Trump could say he was just giving Comey a suggestion.

The only other possibility so far is Section 4 of the 25th Amendment:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.What are the odds on that happening?

That maybe the people of a particular district aren't so much interested in change that quickly after all, and tapping into that sentiment is the wise choice?

Almost all the R's that were involved in the impeachment process for Clinton lost their next elections. To go against your party would be political suicide on a grander scale.

He hasn't done anything impeachable yet. Sharing info with the Russians may have been dumb, but not a crime. Comey's memo is his version of what he and Trump talked about when alone in the Oval Office. And Trump expressed a hope, not an order. Since Trump is the chief executive and Comey works in the executive branch, Trump could say he was just giving Comey a suggestion.

The only other possibility so far is Section 4 of the 25th Amendment:

What are the odds on that happening?

Sharp post.

Given that only the only by stretching the truth in a Trump-like manner could you make a case that an impeachable offense has occurred, this would be the more likely out for those concerned about a President who blathers state secrets to foreign emissaries as a form of boasting.

I'm sure his synchophants would cry coup d'etat if it came to that but if his inability to control himself continues to degrade national security, who knows?

In all the uproar about this, one little comment has gone mostly unnoticed. National security adviser McMaster said that Trump was briefed on the intelligence he shared with the Russians, but Trump was not told the source or method of the intelligence.

Perhaps his top security people are quietly keeping him on a need to know basis to protect him from himself?

If that was the intent, it didn't work. The Russians aren't stupid. They can connect dots. And their allies are Iran who will no doubt receive what the Russians deem in their own interest.

Whether the intel came from Israel as is being reported or Saudi Arabia (far more likely to have penetrated an Al Queda cell), it's disaterous for our security to have an insecure idiot passing along intelligence from an ally to someone who holds hands with a hostile state to either one.

At a minimum, that channel shuts down. At worst, brave people die and then the channel shuts down.

Aides in the White House leaked this. And it's worse than is being reported.

The answer to this thread is 1/20/2024 at high noon. Crazy? Maybe, but we've already seen crazy, so...

Some people always find themselves sunny side up. Trump is one of them, so I won't put anything past him.

There is another distinct possibility, one that seems more and more likely every day, and that is that he will resign either because the noose is tightening or he just wants his old life back.

Or he decides it is high time to declare war on the democrats and take prisoners. He will have an amazingly large number of supporters.

Don't forget the other, which I was reminded of when watching Melania Trump walking with her husband. She reminded me of Jackie Kennedy.

He does not quit, he has never had anyone who could fire him. In the end he will mark being President as the greatest thing that he has ever done. You do not see it, but systematically he will undo much of what your side has called progress and advance the agenda of the right. I know it is hard for you to take, but that is just how it is. Good luck with the Preakness Stakes Tomorrow.

BUMP

I had 18 months to start the thread off. Like I say, I should have taken the under and, yes, I do believe this.

As soon as the R's realize the impact his reign of terror/incompetence/buffoonery will have on their 2018 prospects, they will nail him to the cross with no qualms. All hail President Pence!
You were right about their 2018 prospects.. not so much on how they would react. Who could have expected they would lose all backbone in deference to DEAR LEADER...

And the ones with any backbone at all are resigning - just lost another R from the House today.

Trump will leave office on his own, in January 2025.

I think many are leaving the House because the SMELL of the democrats has become too strong.

No one wants to serve with the filthy maggots.
