The democrats would need the kind of support that they haven't had since the Great Depression (1932). You could see democrats getting %55 of the total votes for house reps nationally in 2018 and they still not win the majority because of district gerrymandering. I think dissatisfaction with Trump is more likely to result in GOP representatives losing their primaries to other republicans who then go on to win in the general election. It's going to be hard enough holding their senate seats especially in Indiana, Missouri, West Virginia and North Dakota. How do you mean oust him? There have been a number of presidents that were not reelected by their party in the following election so that's very possible in 2020. I assume you don't mean that you think they have a plan to oust trump before then? The US doesn't replace leaders because they are unpopular outside of an election which is the right way to do it. Impeachments should only come into play if a federal crime is committed. Pence does have the ability to remove Trump from office if he has the support of the majority of the "principal officers of the executive departments" if Trump losses his marbles. No. The senate would never convict him of the ethics complaints and remove him from office. They aren't as partisan petty as the house. Also, you would start to hear the argument that these laws were designed with the assumption that a president is coming from the political world and not business. I don't agree but it's not an open and shut case. You will not see a senate conviction without a clear major crime.
Dude. Why are you posting these tweets here? They have NOTHING to do with impeachment. Neither of them constitute a federal crime.
I don't know but they make no sense to be here in a conversation about an impeachment when they have nothing to do with the subject. It defeats the purpose of having a thread.
Like most bullies, Mr. trump is really a coward, in my opinion. I'm not surprised by the man tossing aside a long tradition. It was broken before by former President Carter, but is that really the President that Mr. trump is attempting to model himself after? While that may not be an impeachable offense, I think impeachable offences are coming down the pike. Sadly, being a major league narcissist, a pathological liar, and a world class ******* do not qualify the man for impeachment. Brute incompetence isn't impeachable, either. If it were, 46.4% of Americans would be impeachable, were any of them president. Conversely, the 48.5% that voted for Ms. Clinton look like geniuses in comparison. Like Watergate, the truth will become known, and Mr. trump won't like the result. In my humble opinion.
Well Mike Pence can't be worse right? Besides not believing gays people are a real thing and calling his wife mother.....
Pence might be a more effective legislator and a much more adept opponent of liberal values, but honestly, I'd prefer him at this point. I think Donald Trump and his keystone kops admin are a genuine threat to the safety and well-being of this country. Let an adult take the wheel, please.
