Wondering if this so called 2018 democrat wave is gonna go the way of Hillary Clinton.

Obama wiretapped trump! That's the real watergate!

This...is amazing

Yes, its a slow trickle. I get that. But there are two important things that wont change.

1. Democrats aren't taking back the senate any time soon.

2. Republicans won't impeach him, no matter what comes of the investigation.

Anyone who thinks he will be impeached is delusional. It's not the 70's anymore.

I don't really expect impeachment; I expect resignation (under some false pretense).

Trump's ego will never allow this.

The logical side of me thinks that Trump wont resign because the presidency is the only thing likely stopping the Feds from immediately coming down on his ass for a bunch of crimes. The side of me that tries to think how Trump would think would likely resign because then Trump can say he was never impeached and can say he never lost the election.

My worry is that we look just as foolish and nothing will come of it as with the Emails/Benghazi folk.

Presuming the AHCA passes, the budget goes through, and Breitbart has a permanent seat at the press table, it won't matter if he's impeached or not.

The impending impeachment was a large part of why Nixon resigned.

Mueller would not be hiring the prosecutors he is hiring unless they had dumpsters full of dirt on the administration.

It's very important to remember that investigations do not equal indictments.

I still maintain that the GOP is going to turn on Trump the moment they really start feeling the 2018 heat. I mean, we almost saw Georgia flip blue for the first time in almost 3 decades.

No, they won't, because turning on him would only lead to an even worse loss. Imagine the Georgia special election, only this time 50% of the R voters refuse to vote/vote third party to punish the establishment shill for impeaching their God Emperor (assuming they even make it to the general and don't lose in a primary). And that's assuming his base doesn't get violent, possibly at Trump's request. All bets are off and they have absolutely no base left to fall back on.

On the other hand, they stick with Trump. They lose bad with independents, and have to deal with an enthusiasm problem with Rs who don't like Trump, but at the end of the day they won't vote Democrat and 97% of R voters come home. It's still a bad election for them due to turnout and losing independents big, but they keep their base to mitigate losses. They keep the Senate no matter what, and possibly even hold a small majority in the house still, despite losing a lot of seats.

Everyone knows the fucker is guilty, but we have to sit and wait. In the mean time he's causing trouble directly or indirectly.

 

[SoundofSilence]

Trump's ego will never allow this.

It will. But only when Trump realizes that the investigation and its possible revelations may do irreparable damage to his family, business and brand and cost him billions in the process.

 

[NullPointer]

Trump's ego will never allow this.

Yeah it will. He's lost before, plenty of times, he just spins it as a win and/or uses it to chum his followers.

Same. Democrats were a huge disappointment last national election. Somehow I don't feel confident at all that they will actually show up to the local ones.: /

 

[jstripes]

So when's today's "tick tick tick" coming to a head?

 

[Sunster]

It's going a lot faster than Watergate, though people today seem to expect instant results and get defeatist and cynical when they don't get them.

"well that's it, I'm done voting"

 

[DrkSage]

Yea, it takes time, but the thing is that trumps doing WAAAAY more damage. The damage he's inflicting is bigly

 

[Oriel]

Does anyone seriously believe the GOP will vote for their own annihilation?! Trump's impeachment will only come about when the Dems take both houses......and even then I wonder if they really have the spine to go through with it.

I'm slowly coming around to the idea that Trump is going nowhere before 2020.

It can happen depending on who gets annihilated.

Nixon was evil but he was intelligent. Shit, he made the EPA!

They gained seats in both chambers of Congress despite the Trump wave.
