I do not see that being likely, the most likely thing I could see happening is he doesn't run again, but even that's probably not all that likely.

There is a very good chance he will run in 2020. And win. Even if we are in the middle of a recession and full-on constitutional crisis. They are not done showing us darned libruls yet, even if it means cutting off their own noses to spite their own faces.

I don't think anything can be discounted at this point. Nixon resigned when his administration could no longer govern. Depending on the Mueller report or any of the other of the on going investigations into djt, the constant lying … I could see his misadministration getting to the point where it can no longer govern; he could EASIALLY get to that point. And trump would certainly resign before allowing years and years of shady business deals coming out, depends on what's out there.

But then again, I can see him finishing his term and even running again. But baring some national tragedy, like Bush 2 and 911, I just don't see him getting reelected, not if the Dems get off their ass and vote.

It may be teetering on the brink of collapse as it is. One of the unknowns that is far more likely than with previous admins, is that there'll be an internal coup, sorry, they'll invoke the 25th amendment.

Of that we just don't know, because though we know things are bad in the admin with all the firings, convictions and resignations, but just how close it is to breaking point is anyone's guess.

Our electoral system is full of faults. But it's painful to watch how horribly Trumps opposition weakens their own position. It's not like the man won't burn himself down given the chance.

Catch-22.

Again, if talking about how outrageous and what an abomination Trump is would get Trump reelected, then America deserves Trump. We have sold our birthright for crap.

It's called prioritizing and moderation. The difference between justified criticism or honest concern for ongoing considerations and just constant attack of every little item is a huge gap.

One is healthy and will help get a better option from the left next run and help get rid of Trump. The other is just loud, obnoxious partisanship that polarizes the constituents and helps Trump.

I wish those trying to get him out of office did a better job of understanding the difference.

You can’t tell us that he doesn’t invite that level of hysterics with the absolutely outrageous tweeting morning, noon, and night, every single day.

Call us old-fashioned, but we actually still think the person representing our nation should have just a little more wisdom, knowledge, class, and dignity.
 
i don't see him resigning.
 
There seems to be a running contest among some Democrats on the forum over who can make the MOST wrong predictions:

1. Trump won't run.
2. Trump can't win the Republican Primary.
3. Trump will get destroyed in the election by Hilary Clinton.
4. Trump will be impeached in the first 6 months.
6. Trump will be impeached in the first year.
7. Trump will be indicted in the first year.

Now this - the OP in the poll declaring it a certainty that Trump will resign.

He will not be resigning. He may or may not run for re-election.

I think all the impreachment stuff will be held back by Democrats until the next election, but won't actually push it unless Trump ran and won re-election. Remember, Nixon won a 49 state sweep only to resign facing certain impeachment and removable.

I'm technically a Democrat.

It is definitely possible that Trump will serve until Jan 2021.
It is less likely he'll win re-election, but it is definitely possible, especially if the Democrats run Clinton or another like her as a candidate.

That breed of politicians is done, in the Democratic party. They cannot win a presidency again, and will struggle in state races.

IMO.
And beyond my opinion, I shall do what I can to make it true.

As for impeachment or indictment, it's possible, but it clearly didn't happen in the first 2 years.

It's not just loud, obnoxious partisanship when someone is piling on the outrageousness as fast as Trump is.

Sometimes what sounds like obnoxious partisanship is calling it like it is, and you're saying you want people to stop calling it like it is.



Trump assaults decency and reason a dozen ways every day. It's not loud obnoxious partisanship to say so. And if standing back and holding our tongue as we watch his unceasing assaults is somehow the prescription to stop him from being reelected, then (a) that's asking the impossible and (b) as I said before, our nation has way bigger problems than Trump and we deserve as bad as we get.
 
I have predicted that Michelle Obama may run and this is why she's planning to cross the country with Oprah, though she may step back and just run for the US Senate.

This kind of thing makes me want a law against close relatives of presidents running for president or VP.

I don't like even the appearance of dynasties.

More likely to be on 'My 600 Pound Life' by mid next year at the latest. If he doesn't stop eating like an elephant, no way in hell he will be sucking air in 2020.

There are websites where you can share your fantasies with others.... This is not one of those sites. Here, we try to deal in reality. In that regard, I am afraid your statement falls short.

Given that Trump won by 80,000 votes over 3 states, each which trended very blue in 2018, how does it get re-elected? Obama lost 8% of his support between 2008 and 2012... Trump can't afford to lose ANY of his support since is margin was incredibly thin (and he lost the popular vote by 2 points). Trump has done nothing to expand his base. In fact, its shrinking. The last election showed a very pronounced move toward blue not only in the states he won by a narrow margin, but in three states that showed themselves now to be purple. Sorry, its wishful thinking on your part.

A move towards left despite the gerrymandering against it.

Look at any post from me. I don't defend him. I think he's slightly insane and only better than Hillary because he's too dumb to hide his scandals. You aren't debating my point. My point is that we need to keep him out of office and the current practices are making things worse, not better.

You either don't understand my point or, more likely, are just not interested in seeing it from the perspective I'm putting forward. I want him out. I'm worried it's being handled very very badly.

It's okay, we don't have to agree. I've said my piece and you may have more to say but I am not likely to be moved. Feel free to reply and I wish you a goodnight, but as this train of discussion is going, I'm gonna let it go.

Some event that is not on the map would have to happen for that to be a possibility.
 
He'll burn the place to the ground quite literally before he resigns.

He didn't even want this. He's pissed that you put him there and he's going to take it out on all of us. Dude only wanted a fancy hotel in Moscow....

I wouldnt know. Im not in denial. You, on the other hand, are living in a dream world. There is zero evidence of a crime on the part of Trump. That is a fact. You HOPE someone finds one but that hasnt happened and isnt likely to. What you should focus on is finding a candidate to beat him in an election that is now less than two years away rather than pursue your un-american agenda of criminalizing politics.

1. There will never come a day when you accept evidence that Trump committed a crime.
2. If that day does come, you'll minimize the crime as a "process crime" and will move the goal post to a different crime. And you'll keep moving the goal post until the sun uses up the last of its nuclear fuel and goes supernova.

Personally I think the second option is more likely, although I've heard it said that our sun doesn't contain enough mass to ever go supernova, in which case it'll just go cold or whatever.

As long as people outside the Trump circle don't bother to vote.
Of course a few weeks ago we saw that sometimes they DO bother to vote.
So there's that.

Not true. The difference is that you will accept any crime while I will await a High crime. A process crime, as democrats demonstrated during the Clinton trial, was not sufficient for removal.

Your DENIAL is powerful.
