Here's a sober dose of reality...

[brooklynite]

When President. Nixon’s Lawyer revealed his criminal activities, it took another year to get rid of him.

Patience...

[BigmanPigman]

1. He will only go kicking and screaming.

I believe that even if his kids are indicted he will not leave office. He IS a malignant narcissist, a sociopath and a sadist. The only way to get rid of him is if he has a stroke, heart attack or someone "goes postal".

[irresistable]

2. Yeah, but that is a good thing.

Trump needs a little more time to completely destroy the Republican party.

[Hamlette]

3. and the Democrats were in control of the house and senate

[Hekate]

4. True. And in that year VP Spiro Agnew was revealed as a petty bribe-taker & booted out...

Pence must go. Hold that thought.

[Totally Tunsie]

5. Yes, and I hope Mueller is quietly digging into Pence's affairs

alongside his other investigations. If there's anything to be found, and I suspect there darn well is, better Mueller has the jump start on Pence before BigBoy is booted out.

[Hekate]

7. The way they did it with Nixon is they got rid of Agnew first, so he could never be President...

Dug up all the evidence, published it, had him resign. Got Gerald Ford to accept being VP -- I remember the story told later that the committee of shaken Republicans said to Ford: "For God's sake, Gerry, search your conscience."

All along I have had my fingers crossed that Pence and Trump wll go in the same sequence. Sadly, the difference being they are both crazy, each in a different fashion. Pence thinks God talks to him, and that will make him a difficult nut to crack.

Praying for Mueller's continued success

8. "Pence thinks God talks to him"

"Mike, this is God. You're in big trouble, boy."

[dalton99a]

6. Well, he figures it'll take a year to train Ivanka

"Daddy, just let me know when you want me to take over"

[Awsi Dooger]

9. Here's another one

Joseph McCarthy's approval rating was 34% three months after he was censured by the senate.

My dad emphasized that to me decades ago, that McCarthy's supporters did not abandon him even long after the obvious. Dad said that during Watergate to warn me that Nixon supporters likewise would stay with him.

I never heard a specific quote on the McCarthy approval rating until a historian mentioned it tonight on Lawrence O"Donnell

[joshcryer]

10. If we get back congress it's the easiest impeachment in history.

If we don't, then the Republicans will drag it out until 2020.

It's that simple.

[Kablooie]

11. Yep. Nothing has changed.

People who love Trump will still love him.
People who hate Trump will still hate him.
And Republicans will remain frozen stiff and terrified of Trump.

All this talk of this being a game changer is nonsense.

[griloco]

12. Oh, but things happen soooo much faster now

Just ask Rosanne...
