..All he had to do is shut up. He couldn't. Like all bullies, he thinks he is indestructible. He is not. He is going down and that is the truth. When? I don't know. How will it happen? I don't know. Maybe impeachment. Maybe resignation. Maybe some other way. It doesn't matter. He is going down. Watching this bully go down is invigorating. Trump is acting like he knows he is going down. That doesn't matter either. What matters is he has lost and is going down. We won, and the bully is going down.

(7,429 posts)I don't have any faith in the "inevitability" of impeachment. Trumpy is desperate and will do anything to increase his power and keep himself financially healthy. If he lasts into 2020, he'll kill the election and extend his term. That's guaranteed. He knows that he'll be defeated by legitimate votes, so he'll do anything to stop that from happening. ANYTHING. He has no guard rails. He sees no reason to respect any laws unless it benefits HIM. So he's still a dictator until he's out of office.

(4,379 posts)That's why I believe the Republicans will force Trump to resign just like they did with Nixon. In the end voting yes or no on conviction would be political suicide. Politicians always take the best option when it comes to saving their own asses.
I will admit, the Republicans of today are fucking crazy and stupid so it's not out of the realm of possibility they would commit politically suicide to protect Trump.

(58,601 posts)that he finally resigned. Once enough of them flipped, he was doomed and he knew it.
No guarantee that will happen here, but public opinion is slowly going against Trump. Will it be enough? We don't know yet.

(38,414 posts)As respectfully as possible, I think he has been approached by some leading people in the GOP, and totally rejected their help.. And that is a very good thing. In rejecting help and advise, he is proving to those Republicans who care about the U.S.A ,very slowly ,that he is unmanageable and not qualified to be President..
..So at this point, no one knows about this because if it is happening ,( I do not know if it did) it is being kept a secret.
... It builds the secret GOP file on Trump that he needs to be removed. (my point of view, again, I have no proof) Why might that exist somewhere? Some leaders of the GOP are worried about the destruction of their political party in the next election. ( a few are smart enough to see that in my opinion) Yes, most are stupid enough to think Trump can win, but a few already know he has lost. The smart ones are looking past 2020, to have a chance later..
........Now..how can I even think the above? Well this has happened before. George Mc Govern lost the 1972 election by an incredible margin..

(3,363 posts)The disinformation campaign on social media is in full swing. McConnell says he will stop impeachment if it comes to the Senate.
I have no hope that this will bring him down.

(18,490 posts)He will absolutely, 100% be gone from office by 20 January, 2025. That is only 1935 more days.
Now if we focus and work hard, we can slash that number to 474 days and he will be out of office, replaced by a Democrat, on 20 January, 2021. Then we will have won.

(31,940 posts)You stated awhile back he would resign in one week or be impeached in two weeks. It seems that timeline is in jeopardy.
