Trump has destabilized: our economy, relations with allies, The Republican Party, trade relationships, vital branches of government, the free press.
His current attempt to seize control of the Republican Party which most Senators and Representatives have spent their lives building is not acceptable and it is obvious to people to whom the long term viability of the Party is important that he is only interested in short term solutions, has no interest in traditional Republican values and if he succeeds in holding the Presidency will doom the party and Inflict further damage on our nation in the future with no gain for the party.
After the failure in the midterms (Yes it was a failure)they realize they need to decide whether to fish or continue cutting bait for Trump.
He’s catching fewer and fewer fish, time for a new captain.
They cannot count on Trump’s word or actions, he is only on team Trump.
I see Trump leaving either by resignation or impeachment with likely Pence and Haley finishing the term and running in 2020.
There’s little time left to screw around with the Trump BS.
This will all be negotiated in Congress between the two parties, with some concessions on issues that they will work together on to get through this mess.

As for a Democratic candidate two years before the primary who would have said Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, Dukakis, Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama would be the candidate and the same works for the Republican Party.

and at this stage in the election cycles ( inside two years), Kerry, Clinton, Obama has strong bases. i could have also told you, they had appeal. Bernie, Lieawatha, Kamela Harris, Corey Booker? that’s a freak show. Chris Murphy, who has the intellect of a Bassett Hound, is being floated.

As of now, the only possible challenge is Biden.

I don’t say anything because I don’t watch the news on TV.

Jim did not say TV
He said press

Why are you so obsessed with triggered?

The discussions in this forum are sometimes challenging with so much lack of reading comprehension here

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

the fact that the democrat party has no real viable candidate at this stage, makes “no difference”!

I assume then that you concur with my assessment of the current Trump dilemma.
Democratic governors have done well, don’t count them out.
But if President Camacho isn’t gone, they might just let us get what we deserve.
