he has changed the U.S. for decades to come just with the number of judges he has appointed and the justices he will put on the Supreme Court.
And even if Democrats take the House, take the Senate, and then take the White House,
the tens of millions of Trump followers and supporters are going nowhere. They will make it their duty to turn out and vote so unless the Left is not vigilant and hold together the Republicans will return to power.
And be careful what you wish for because if Trump resigns we will get a president Pence who is really as bad as Trump except he is intelligent, knows how things work, and knows how to get things done.
Finally, if we manage to purge the GOP from control the rabid Trumpsters will become violent, declaring it all to be a Liberal conspiracy and a takeover of the government and I don't for a minute believe when it comes to that the Left will simply turn the other cheek. There will be blood in the streets in places.

(22,597 posts)If "it" is the Trumpsters becoming violent, do you think his removal or resignation will make them less batshit crazy than they already are?

(32,714 posts)Trump is a typical bully. He backs down and will they too. Relax and take a deep breath.

(22,597 posts)the tens of millions of Trump supporters are not going anywhere. Just because he is gone, however that might be, doesn't mean they will simply disappear.
Besides, Trump being locked up is a nice Liberal fantasy and there's nothing wrong with having fantasies as long as you retain a grasp on reality.

(22,597 posts)things will magically be better under Pence.
For all those who want to be rid of Trump it would have been much easier not to have him elected in the first place. In the battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania had voter on the Left bothered to turn out and vote for the one and only candidate who could have prevented Trump from ever becoming president we wouldn't be having this conversation now.

(70,725 posts)I never said he would be "better." In fact, I say he will be *worse* because he's not STUPID and will be more EFFICIENT with the horrible agenda. That's no reason to KEEP Shitler, who is a disgusting, repulsive, threat to the country and the world. I'm saying, get rid of SHITLER most of all, FIRST, then deal with PENCE.
