You're all absolutely delusional if you think a Republican controlled senate will move forward to actually remove Trump. So far Trump has shown at least some understanding that he must keep the Republicans in the Senate happy (not firing Mueller and not firing Jeff Sessions yet). They will keep him in power for as long as he is convenient to them, and all he has to do is sit back and be a rubber stamp for their increasingly retarded legislation, and of course put as many conservative judges on benches across America. Based on everything in the past two years, do you honestly think Republicans would move against Trump even if Mueller's evidence was totally damning?
No. They'd call it fake news, deep state, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Hillary's emails, triggered libtards, ha ha ha we won you lost get over it. When their idiot base eats it up, we get a country that's even more divided in 2020 than it was in 2016. It's sad, but that's the reality.
You are right. And here is some more reality. Tax-cheat Trump is an autocrat. Here are the ways that autocrats leave office:
1. Die in office
2. Thrown in prison
3. Escape to exile in another country
4. Taken out back and shot
Tax-cheat Trump will never leave office voluntarily. Those are the only four outcomes.
Also, watch carefully who replaces Mattis. Control of the military is crucial for an autocrat.
(OK, so I sound paranoid. But tell me what leads you to believe that Tax-cheat Trump would accept impeachment or an election loss.)
Fat Hurts,
You are correct about how autocrats leave office, but Trump is an autocrat WANNABE, and there's a difference.
The Senate had be very careful. If Mueller's report is as damning as I believe it will be, if the Senate doesn't convict him after the House's impeachment, it is telling every future president that they can do whatever the hell they want to do...obstruction of justice, conspiring with an enemy foreign power to win an election, and on and on. Would be better for Republicans to do it sooner than later...get Pence in there for a while before the 2020 election.
