Has anyone ever beat cancer by simply ignoring it and just waiting it out

[Snake Plissken]

I'm wondering if there is any precedence for just waiting Trump out that actually worked.

1. Cancer...

...the emperor of all maladies.

3. Sure. When a person dies any cancer they have dies with them.

From a planetary perspective maybe the U.S.A. *is* the cancer.

4. Cancers don't pivot and become good cancers

Democrats, do the right thing.

5. Isn't that how Rusher beat Stalin?

Wait. Bad analogy...

6. Ha.

Excellent point.

7. Technically yes.

Spontaneous remission does sometimes happen with some types of cancer.

But not this type.

8. We basically had to wait out Reagan, George W. Bush

But they were somewhat charismatic/likable and, in the case of George W. Bush, people kind of overlooked a lot of stuff from 2001-2004 and gave him a(nother) term, basically because of his *response* to 9/11 and the subsequent Iraq War. Trump is so awful and polarizing that people are already pretty tired of him and likely to throw him out in 2020, absent some unforeseen circumstances. Some people seem to have made the calculation that Trump is incredibly unlikely to win again in 2020 and that he can be waited out. Given that the Senate is extremely unlikely to vote to convict him in the case of an Impeachment effort, we will likely have to vote him out in 2020- unless he feels like resigning, which I doubt he will. I feel like we can probably survive him, but he and his minions still have a lot of time to do a lot more damage on the way out.
