Is anyone else starting to worry that trump won't leave

[onecaliberal]

The office even if he’s voted out?

1. I was thinking this just 5 minutes ago.

I was reading Josh Marshall’s article about how Trump was off the rails at his meeting with GOP tonight and thought “he is crazy enough to refuse to leave.”

2. Tickets will be available to see that one. eom

[edbermac]

3. No.

Even his idiot enablers would turn on him if he did.

[tazkcmo]

4. No.

My crazy brother said the same shit about Obama. One way or the other, he'll leave. As nutso as Shitgibbon is, he's just a wimp. He only plays a tough guy on TV.

5. What army is going to keep him there after he's voted out?

Whomever is elected will be POTUS, not the Dotard. And the Secret Service, the US Marshals, the National Park Service, the entirety of the DOD apparatus, and/or everyone else who is in a position to physically act in any official capacity in regards to this matter will recognize the new POTUS as POTUS, not the Dotard. They have no loyalty to the man -- most of them probably think he's a f*cking degenerate. And even if they like him, they would have to have a death wish to attempt a coup -- anyone who does so will die fighting those loyal to their own oaths to the constitution, or die in jail.

6. Hopefully you are all right.

7. lol no !

8. That would require the complicity of the entire political establishment

It would require, for example, that federal employees continue to take direction from a man who is no longer President. It would require the cooperation of the courts and of Congress. It would require most of the country to go along with it

I see no reason to indulge in such fantasies

9. It sounds insane, yet...

how much more insane than what we're seeing now?

It would certainly be in accord with the leaders he praises - Kim Jong Un and Putin - and not the (former?) allies he insults.

And while I'd like to believe even most Republicans would think that is going too far, last year someone decided to do polling on the question of "postponing" the next presidential election and found that most Republicans would be OK with that if Trump proposed it!

... the survey asked two questions about postponing the 2020 election.

If Donald Trump were to say that the 2020 presidential election should be postponed until the country can make sure that only eligible American citizens can vote, would you support or oppose postponing the election?

What if both Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress were to say that the 2020 presidential election should be postponed until the country can make sure that only eligible American citizens can vote? Would you support or oppose postponing the election?

<snip>

52 percent said that they would support postponing the 2020 election, and 56 percent said they would do so if both Trump and Republicans in Congress proposed this.

17. That is exactly what I worry about.

Republicans know they didn’t win the election, they know trump is a criminal installed by a foreign government who TAMPERED with our election. Nothing has been done to date about that.

10. I think he won't leave if he's impeached and convicted

Never thought I'd think of Nixon as a model of decorum-- resigning before impeachment even.

Maizie Hirono-- cussed! Love her tonight-- still battling cancer, but fighting for children.

11. I predicted it the summer of 2016. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who did.

[earthshine]

12. If he wants to attempt to stay in office past his ouster by election, the way he'd do it would

be to start a war.

[peggysue2]

13. No!

He will not survive his first term.

Take it to the bank.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

14. Oh, He'll Leave

IN CUFFS.

[luvallpeeps]

15. Still not over the fact he is in

I do once in awhile have to ask myself if this really happened. And yes, the thought has crossed my mind that he could pull some kind of stunt. I'm almost certain this colossal shitshow won't end well. He'll be flinging poop everywhere before it's over. And I only hope and pray he and anyone who supports him get what they deserve.

[Laffy Kat]

16. I honestly think he's trying for a life-long dictatorship.

All evidence points that way.
