It appears to me that Trumps lawyers are trying to keep him from firing or pardoning anyone. That doesn't mean that at some point he will lose it and try to do that. I think what they are doing is trying to discredit the investigation to the point that, whenever he is put on trial, that the prosecution will not be able to put together a jury that would convict him. Any criminal conviction has to be unanimous. On impeachment, if Trump is not impeached, it will be disastrous for the Republican Party. Trump and his party will have their biggest lost in a presidential election since Goldwater, and then he will be put on trial. That is what I think is going to happen.
Fox News' obvious coordination on this, is not in the best interest of the country or the party. They are attaching the fate of both to someone whom is not
right in the head.

Trump wants his based stirred up to the level of possible violence.
Trump will shred the Constitution and damage our institutions to save his own skin and that of his family.

Seems I heard that in the fall of 2016. How did that work out?
The PGIC will not run again for president, even if he is NOT in jail before then.

(1,822 posts)I think the difference this time around as opposed to 2016 is that Dems wont take it for granted this time. All i heard here and even from many conservatives was that it was a foregone conclusion that Hillary was going to win. I dont know how that affected turnout or enthusiasm, but I'm guessing that it caused alot of people to not take the election as seriously as they should have. Look at the special elections that have happened over the past year. Dems are doing better than they have in decades. I dont know if its going to be Goldwater like, but states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin that have been more traditional blue will probably flip back, as well as Florida and possibly NC.

The FBI has been onto trump for years, the DOJ, CIA, FBI all had trump and his henchmen under surveillance throughout the campaign and years before. Remember Obama said trump would never become President? He knew but unfortunately he had underestimated Putin and trump was able to steal the Presidency.
Mueller has the goods on tRump, he just needs to wait for the exact right time before he snares trump. Impeachment won't be needed, trump will be in custody and our very own armed forces will probably have to restrain him from running to Vlad begging for exile.
Why do you think he's always in south Florida surrounded by oligarchs with private yachts and jets?
On tRumps last trip overseas Obama followed him, why do you think that is? Obama appeared at the same countries just a day or 2 afterward. When trump goes down we will be in an extra-constitutional period, Obama was reassuring world leaders that he will be able, in an advisor role to usher us through the coming storm.
There will be grand bargains and I still think Hillary will end up running for re-election in 2020.

(21,107 posts)we have no reason to believe that an election in 2020 wont also be stolen like it was in 2000, 2004 and 2016. Hillary will not run for election in 2020. Come back to me in 3 years if I am wrong on this.

I don't know what world y'all have been living in, but when the walls close in on conservatives, they don't run away. They aim higher.
I think it's a coin toss whether or not there is going to be another election. Ever.
