pence is a do nothing religious fanatic! certainly don't want him president.

Trump is an embarrassment to America and the Republican party. Let him do as much damage to That Grand Old Party as he can inflict. After this they sure can't claim to be the Party of Lincoln or Conservative!

Do you think today's democratic party is the same democratic party of let's say FDR, JFK or Slick Willie or even Obama?
 
Assuming that enough and sufficiently substantiated "high misdemeanors" surface about Trump for at least half of the Senate GOP caucus to vote to convict were to surface, when would you want Trump gone? As soon as possible? Time the expulsion to maximize the chances of a Democrat President in 2020? Some other time table?

They should definitely wait until such time as it benefits Democrats the most. If we're really going to rip this nation apart then it should be done in the most politically expeditious way for Democrats as possible. No matter what else happens in this country, no matter how many die or how many are displaced the one thing that is most important is that Democrats regain power in Washington DC.

Figured I'd better put in the sarcasm tag. Sometimes when I'm a little too close to the truth people just don't get it.
 
Not, let him flounder in the next 2 years with a democratic house and a democratic senate and then elect someone qualified to the job.
 
After Republicans running for office crash and burn in defeat, Republicans will realize that Swampy is a liability not a political asset. They will then make the same spineless calculation that got them to bow down to him, and they will abandon him — just like they did with Nixon.

When he resigns, is voted out, his term is up, or dies in office.

Your argument that Trump should be removed because you don't like him. Or because he beat Hillary, is not a reason for removal from office.
 
President Trump will be much less harmful after November provided the Trump Party loses the House. Doing so won't return the WH keys to rational and informed adults but it will mitigate future damage to the nation. It will check the rape and pillage of America by Trump and his hand picked political and religious grifters who, with their corporate conspirators, have run wild and free with a wink and a nod from the Trump Swamp.

At this point in time I don't see impeachment as a possibility. That shouldn't be the end game anyway.

The best reason for not impeaching Trump is P-E-N-C-E. I can't even imagine the Handmaiden's Hell a Pence presidency would usher in. Trump without question is away with the fairies. :screwy Pence is evil. Pence is da debil's ideologue. Pence is a dominionist. More than that it would be no surprise to find that Pence is up to his crucifix in high crimes and misdemeanors his damn self. Next up then would be Tony Ryan. :shock:

Risky Political Prognostication No. 1206: For the foreseeable future we are fairly ****ed. After that we will be fairly ****ed some more. Finally when the Trump Swamp is finished fairly ****ing America they will attempt to bugger us one or two more times. It's that bad.

Risky Political Prognostication No. 1206-A: A is for assbrain. President Assbrain is soon to amaze all but the most clueless of Trump fans, the Q-Anon conspiracy cultists. In the coming months it will become obvious that what we have seen heretofore relating to the crimes, indiscretions and thievery committed by President Assbrain and his coterie of self-serving swamp masters has been the tip of the iceberg, or in this case the assberg.

It's not as bad as you think. It is so much worse. Impeachment won't end it.
 
Trump personal lawyer--guilty
Trump campaign manager--guilty
Trump deputy campaign manager--guilty
Trump national security advisor--guilty


Waddy: "Nothing to see here."

:roll:

I haven't seen anything that touches Trump. You got something? Put it up..... or is it just wishful thinking?
 
I haven't seen anything that touches Trump. ...

And, you never will.

...because that would require you to open your eyes and admit you made a horrible mistake. And, we all know that ain't happening.
 
You don't think Trump would have been indicted if he was not President? Presidents must be impeached before being indicted. That proceeding will start next year, count on it.

If the Democrats take the House there is an outside chance Trump will be impeached; on dubious grounds; but even that isn't a sure thing, as many of those Democrats won't want to piss off their conservative swing voters. And any impeachment will fail. Trump will serve out his term. He might even get re-elected. His support numbers among black voters have doubled to 26%. The Walkaway movement is gaining lots of momentum. The Democrats are counting on a wave that might not be there come November.

If the Democrats don't take the House and Senate in November it is the end of their hopes and dreams. They are counting on it. Their forward strategy is based on that assumption. Aside from identity politics, I don't see any "platform" in the Democratic rhetoric.
 
And, you never will.

...because that would require you to open your eyes and admit you made a horrible mistake. And, we all know that ain't happening.

Or I could be like you and spend every minute of every day wishing and hoping that lightning will strike down Trump so your personal nightmare would be over. Once again; what's the crime?

So your "hopes and dreams" are that a criminal is allowed to stay President? What does that say about you and your patriotism?
 
As long as Pence is waiting in the wings...the answer to the OP question is never.

A Federal judge accepted Cohen's guilty plea for Election fraud and he implicated Trump in that crime making him a co-conspirator in a felony. This nonsense of it not being a crime is just that. Justice will "strike down " Trump and it will be a victory for all Americans....even you.

There is no criminal in the White House at this time.

Of course there is. Now there is only one charge but soon there will be many. You helped elect a career criminal to the highest office in the land. Good going...
 
As soon as possible so the GOP can have a reasonable amount of time to have a candidate campaign.

Sometime after Don Jr. and Kushner are indicted but before they are tried and sentenced... somewhere really close to the 2020 election. I'd rather have the entertainment continue and not face a President Pence.
 
I posted this in another thread but is seems some here need to understand, impeachment on it's own is not removal;

Too many think impeachment means removal from office, only two presidents have actually been impeached, neither faced removal or punishment and both went on to complete their terms.

Impeachment simply means a charge, the House then votes whether to or not to actually "Impeach" based on the charges. Requirements to impeach is that an officer must commit a specific high crime or misdemeanor. Policy disagreement, incompetence, innocent mistakes, or “maladministration” are not impeachable offenses. If the vote is to impeach then the Senate is in charge of conducting the trial and he Chief Justice of the United States presides over the Senate trial. As of now republicans control the house and senate and the chief justice is John Roberts.

If the democrats want to prepare themselves they should start now to find a candidate capable of running against Pence in 2024.
 
Of course there is. Now there is only one charge but soon there will be many. You helped elect a career criminal to the highest office in the land. Good going...

So Trump's been charged with a crime? I must have missed that memo. You're just angry you couldn't get your criminal elected.

Impeachment isn't an option because the Dems won't have sufficient numbers in the Senate in 2019. The only way trump can be removed is if the AG allows a change in the law prohibiting indictment of a sitting pres. No wonder trump has stepped up his harassment of Sessions lately. trump's going to need to replace him before the Mueller report comes out.
 
Impeachment is the most difficult route to pursue.
More and more of his closest associates, who he depends upon for his financial and legal firewalls, are falling by the wayside.
At some point, Donald Jr., Jared and even Ivanka may be in jeopardy.
At that point it boils down to if he will throw them under the bus or work out a deal to resign in order to protect them.

That's true. The trump organization is in real jeopardy right now. Wouldn't that be something if it was brought down by trump because he couldn't resist being a criminal to obtain office and being one in office.

Indicted for what?
 
As has been pointed out, impeachment does not equate to removal (from office). The more elderly amongst us will remember that Bill was impeached and carried on quite happily.

But to leave this technicality, now that it's been addressed again, I'd like to see him removed by the more natural process of national elections, IOW in 2020 or, respectively, by inauguration of whoever follows then.

For one thing nobody needs the mess involved in other processes, for another the country deserves to bear the fruits of what it has voted for.

Where do you get this ****? That entire post is kook fringe lunacy.
