I'm guessing the Republicans will threaten him with impeachment behind the scenes,

[elehhhhna]

And he'll eff that up by popping off on Twitter

[manicraven]

1. Makes sense and follows his current and previous behaviors.

[Skittles]

2. I predict when Trump finds out they are meeting about him behind his back

(and you just KNOW they are), *THAT* is when the spectacular meltdown will occur

[sarcasmo]

5. A meltdown Tiger Blood style, hopefully with video.

[Generic Brad]

17. Because....Winning!

So far I am getting sick of all his whining.

[brooklynite]

3. Why would they?

[barbtries]

4. that would be fine.

i also looked up article 25 of the constitution today, so there's that. who can effectively deny that this man is mentally ill and unfit for the office?

[MFM008]

6. because there is such a thing as TO CRAZY

to unhinged.
to unstable.
He stays as long as they can see he is controllable.
He stays long enough to sign their shit into law.
Why do you think hes ramming it through at the speed of light?

7. The WP just tweeted the White House is leaking like a sieve.

Implosion happening.

[KewlKat]

11. link?

8. Exactly... as someone said Trump has the impulse control of a grease fire!

[NanceGreggs]

9. My guess is ...

... that when he ceases being a useful idiot and starts damaging the GOP "brand", they will threaten him with impeachment (and all the public humiliation attached thereto) if he doesn't voluntarily resign.

If he goes ballistic over it and resorts to his usual twitter tirades, he will literally be making their case for them by again demonstrating his mental instability.

I don't think L'il Hands realizes just how expendable he is to the Republican party, and how vicious they'll be when it's time to get rid of him.

10. not a chance in hell. Republicans never put party ahead of country

for Democrats, politics stops at the country's borders. For republicans politics stops at the bank

[Thirties Child]

14. They put country ahead of party in 1974.

A letter to my senator:

In 1974 Republican senators came together and put country ahead of party. It's once again time to act with courage for the good of the country. I urge you to follow in their wake and [vote against DeVoss, show no support for the Muslim ban, et al).

[Bucky]

18. Get in a time machine

The party that was too liberal to nominate Reagan in 1976 is too fascist, doctrinaire, heartless, and ideologically greedy to nominate someone with Reagan's stances on the same issues today.

Anyway, the Senate never voted to convict and remove Nixon. In the House the call for impeachment never reached the floor. After hearing all the evidence of Nixon's obstruction, a majority of Republicans on the impeachment committee still voted Nay on all charges.

At the time of his resignation, there were still only 60 certain votes for removal in the Senate (which had a 57-43 Dem majority). Nixon had a 50-50 chance of beating the charges. He only quit cause there was more stuff coming down the pike at him, which Congress didn't know about yet--plus Haig was pushing him along toward not fighting it out. There are no Alexander Haigs in the Trump White House

Point being, today's party is far less principled and far more sheeplike than their grandfathers of '74 were.

[Thirties Child]

20. I don't need a time machine. I'm old, I lived through it, and I remember.

My point was that in 1974 Republican senators came together and told Nixon impeachment was going to happen unless he resigned. They had the courage to put country ahead of party. Where is that courage today???

I'm well aware that the country has moved far right. The Republicans remind me of the John Birchers of 1974, and the Democrats of the moderate Republicans.

[SaschaHM]

12. Idk. I think Trump realizes that he holds quite a bit of power over the Republicans...

while his base still stays with him.

Not sure they can do much to reel him in until that base turns on him.

[NanceGreggs]

15. That is his only power at this point.

But his approval numbers keep going down, and he's only a few weeks in.

I imagine the PTB in the Republican party are watching those numbers like hawks. As soon as it becomes apparent that his "base" has eroded to a certain point, they'll jump on him. The 2018 midterms will soon be upon us, and they'll need lead-time to get Pence installed in the WH and his administration up-and-running before people go to the polls.

[kairos12]

16. They will never impeach him. He will be their bill signing clown.

[Bucky]

19. They need him for their tax cuts and social security raiding

If he makes it to Jan. they will not impeach in an election year. They learned that from the Lewinsky fiasco. Horrid as it is, I think Trump is in for the full 4 years.
