you’re right high crimes
or misdemeanors. it’s not going to happen, not based on what we know now that is, god knows what Trump will do
next.

you want to get rid of him, have your party nominate someone more
likable than he is, who has some appeal to voters who are to the right of Pol Pot. As of
right now, the only one on that list is Joe Biden, there is no one else.

as vile as Trump is, Biden is the only one who’s a viable threat. your side has no bench, absolutely none, two years after the election. can Hilary be lured away from
her speaking tour, where she enthralls crowds of tens with her latest whining about all of our flaws which led to her loss?

I see it happening
McConnell has put him on notice that they are not playing his reality TV games.
He is the one who campaigned on the wall that almost all politicians privately say is simplistic at best but not a real solution
But the wall is but a smokescreen to distract from the real issues.
Trump has destabilized: our economy, relations with allies, The Republican Party, trade relationships, vital branches of government, the free press.
His current attempt to seize control of the Republican Party which most Senators and Representatives have spent their lives building is not acceptable and it is obvious to people to whom the long term viability of the Party is important that he is only interested in short term solutions, has no interest in traditional Republican values and if he succeeds in holding the Presidency will doom the party and Inflict further damage on our nation in the future with no gain for the party.
After the failure in the midterms (Yes it was a failure)they realize they need to decide whether to fish or continue cutting bait for Trump.
He’s catching fewer and fewer fish, time for a new captain.
They cannot count on Trump’s word or actions, he is only on team Trump.
I see Trump leaving either by resignation or impeachment with likely Pence and Haley finishing the term and running in 2020.
There’s little time left to screw around with the Trump BS.
This will all be negotiated in Congress between the two parties, with some concessions on issues that they will work together on to get through this mess.

As for a Democratic candidate two years before the primary who would have said Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama would be the candidate and the same works for the Republican Party.

of course you see it, all you see is that which hurts Trump. Nothing else exists for
you.

if there’s proof if russian collusion, he may be done. if the vote was today, no chance, none.

and at this stage in the election cycles ( inside two years), Kerry, Clinton, Obama has strong bases. i could have also told you, they had appeal. Bernie, Lieawatha, Kamela Harris, Corey Booker? that’s a freak show. Chris Murphy, who has the intellect of a Bassett Hound, is being floated.

As of now, the only possible challenge is Biden.

I don’t say anything because I don’t watch the news on TV.

Jim did not say TV
He said press

Why are you so obsessed with triggered?

The discussions in this forum are sometimes challenging with so much lack of reading comprehension here

the fact that the democrat party has no real viable candidate at this stage, makes “no difference”!

I assume then that you concur with my assessment of the current Trump dilemma.
Democratic governors have done well, don’t count them out.
But if President Camacho isn’t gone, they might just let us get what we deserve.

If the Senate went along you could likely impeach him on obstruction of justice pretty easily with what we know now. I don’t how much Mueller knows that we don’t, but I’d wager he has the dirt to validate a lot of the damaging bits believed to be known.

But all this isn’t even the central theme to the story. Almost as if on script we’re helping Russia and China restructure global alliances that have let to a mostly peaceful planet for the last half century. The GDP is a blip in time Jim, this stuff could take a generation to turn around if it really goes south.

What justice did he obstruct?
Sounds like an accusation to me
