Best scenario for Trump is he wins reelection is done in 2024.
Who's next in line?
He will have totally destroyed the Republican party by then. There is no Trump-like candidate that could step in.

Trump family members indicted - ZERO. Trump family members to be indicted - ZERO. Deep state co-conspirators to be indicted - None YET but that number will grow exponentially.
1) Don't bet on Trump family members being indicted. RICO alone will round up the whole lot of them.
2) I don't think you know what "exponentially" means.

Trumpers are still thinking the Mueller report exonerates Trump, yet they all, including Trump, seem afraid of its release. Odd. I'm speculating, of course, but I think Trump is quite aware that the report will be damning to him and his family. Barr successfully changed the narrative, but only briefly.
Yep. Crystal clear that it has damning stuff in it.

For the life of me, I still can't understand how Flagpole shows his face around here after being proven wrong so many times. Most people would find another hobby. Or at least something they're better at.
1) I actually have NOT been proven wrong so many times. So far in this investigation I have been proven right several times (about people being indicted, about Cohen flipping, about people being found guilty, etc.). Since there has been proven FELONY cheating with regard to the 2016 election, I have been proven right about that too. You clearly do not understand how to keep score.
2) All of my other predictions regarding Trump are still unresolved. Until we see the Mueller Report in its entirety, we don't know what it says.
3) If I end up being wrong about all of it (which is not possible now since I have been right about many things already), why would that make me stop posting here? You must have a weak sense of value if you can't imagine it. Unlike apparently you, I am not crushed if a prediction I make doesn't come true.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
The Orange One is going to prison (again, unless he dies first, or the crime or aliens thing).
Best scenario is flight to a country without extradition. Russia (BFF); France (keep your enemies closer, ha ha); North Korea (they promised him the Nobel Peace Prize); Saudi Arabia (best American weapons); there are several attractive destinations.

There is no Trump-like candidate alive. There are ones who have his alt-right philosophies (Steve Bannon). There are ones who have his supposed "wealth" (Mark Cuban). There are ones who have his notoriety (Oprah). But there are none who have all of that AND have duped the public into believing he is a successful businessman AND are completely incompetent AND are openly racist with a penchant for calling people names that gathers mouth breathers together like flies to sh!t.

Yes. He also thinks Trump is a one off and people won't make the same mistake again anytime soon.
About healthcare....
When you mandate a certain amount of coverage, like the ACA does, and you don’t implement some kind of hard price controls, then you get whatever premiums the insurance companies want to charge. The whole purpose of the mandate was an attempt to lower the premiums to offset the higher cost. Basically if you want all insurers to cover pre-existing conditions then the free market will result in higher premiums as a result.
So Trump saying they will magically lower premiums is a just make believe....unless the government institutes hard price controls. Otherwise they don’t control the premiums.

Trump as POTUS is a disaster. For the nation. For the GOP. And even for Trump himself.
BUT, claiming that "There is no Trump-like candidate that could step in." more than 5 years before the election and among 330 million Americans seems foolish beyond belief.
Who the hell knows what lunatic(s) will emerge in the next five years? You sure as hell don't. I damned sure don't either.
How Trump scares farmers about scary brown people.
There are 10 cookies on the table to share. Trump takes 9 cookies for himself. He then scares the farmer, "Watch out. Mexicans want to steal your cookie."

Trump will be gone at some point.
Probably by the next election.
Then I wonder what happens to the Republican party.
Although, Trump losing in 2020 means he could then run in 2024.
I don't know if any one term president has ever run again after losing. Not in a hundred years at least.
I can see Trump losing in 2020, then getting nominated every four years until he dies.
Then getting the nomination even after he dies like Dennis Hof won an election this past fall a month after he died.
Trump owns the Republican party and cannot be replaced.
Grover Cleveland Won, Lost, Won 1884, 88 and 92
I share your concern of where the Republican Party is once Trump is gone. Long term he could be detriment to the party as it is unlikely that he is replaced by anyone who'll carry his base.
Or the farmer’s daughter who whispers to trump at a rally in Iowa: “Mr. President, if we slide behind that haystack, I bet I could give you the best blo_ job you’ve ever had!”
Trump: “I’m sure you could. But what would I get out of it?”
HRC was named after Sir Edmund Hillary and Al Gore invented Internet. But does any one care all that?

That will have to be decided between Ivanka, Jared and Don Jr. Which one do you prefer?
"According to Reilly, Trump hit two balls in the water when he played professional golfer Tiger Woods and then claimed to have almost tied with him, kicked sportscaster Mike Tirico's ball into a bunker when the two played, and claims to have a 2.8 handicap despite professionals such as Dustin Johnson assessing him to be a 9 or 10.
Trump's caddies also allegedly know to accommodate his penchant, Reilly said -- "He kicks the ball out of the rough so many times, the caddies call him 'Pele,'" after the famous soccer player."

Nope. I TOLD YOU that you Window Licker Trumpers would declare victory before we had the full story, and sure enough, that's where we are today.

1) I have ONLY said that if the Earth is around long enough that racism will be gone. That is for sure true. You only need to put together a scatter program over a long enough period of time to see that the human race will eventually be homogenized. There won't be "races" if the Earth is around for long enough. Our evolution as a society then will add to that, and we won't be mired in ignorance. Again...this is if the Earth is around long enough with our current human race living long enough. This kind of thinking isn't possible for people who believe the Earth is 10,000 years old or less
2) One a much shorter period of time and provable, yes, Trump is a one off. There isn't a person alive in the US who is even capable of recreating Trumpism...and this of course is NOT a compliment to Trump.

That's why Medicare is the most cost-effective coverage in America. It pays cost plus a set profit margin.
If everyone had it we would be spending only 9% of GDP instead of the crippling 18% we have now.
And everyone would be covered.
