Is the Trump House of Cards about to collapse?

[MineralMan]

It sure looks like it to me this weekend. If so, hang on to the handrail tightly. It's gonna be a rough ride for a while.

The Cambridge Analyitica stories look to me to be pretty damning for the Trumpsters. McCabe and Comey appear to be ready to blow their whistles loudly. The Stormy Daniels thing looks to be about to blow up, too.

Trump's on edge and tweeting stupidly, given the situation.

I dunno, but things look pretty promising for chaos shortly.

Watch the Sunday news shows, I think.

1. How can this go on till Nov? wow -nt

[MineralMan]

3. Well, I don't think it can. Not possible, it seems to me.

In fact, I think everything's about to blow up and soon. I just hope the explosion doesn't cause too much peripheral damage.

There is just so much noise this weekend already. I suspect that a lot of people who usually take the weekend off are on the job right now. Even Trump stayed at the White House.

When the tide suddenly goes way out unexpectedly, head for high ground right away. Something's coming in soon.

6. With absolutely zero effort to block Russian interference in the mid-terms

I'm actually shocked that anyone on DU believes that the actual victor will enjoy the spoils.

The blue wave is huge, but the Russian blockade is unchecked.

[poboy2]

7. I do not wish to cause anyone shock.

So you will be pleased/relieved to know I too am most worried about the (s)elections from here on out.

[Mr. Ected]

9. The media's mistake is to treat Trump like a normal President

The electorate's mistake is to think that conventional wisdom will reign in November.

The system is rigged beyond typical Republican cheating. Way beyond it.

[poboy2]

11. He could start a war or launch a nuke tomorrow.

It is a very real possibility to shuffle the deck.

[Bettie]

16. I'm really afraid that will be

his October Surprise for all of us to try to keep the Republicans from losing everything.

2. With more excitement to come next week

and every week thereafter - until the cleaning crew arrives

[MineralMan]

4. Truly, we are living in interesting times.

[Mr. Ected]

5. Not to mention that Trump's inner core is fracturing

The generals: Kelly, McMaster, and Mattis all have one foot out the door. Jarvanka is on thin ice.

Not to mention the fact that the Congressional Republicans got everything they wanted: tax "reform". They've been oddly silent ever since. Only the shenanigans of Nunes & Co. have elicited any attention, and then only momentarily.

Sure, we may be one breath away from Trump firing Rosenstein, or Sessions, or Mueller, and that would set off some catastrophic reverberations. I firmly believe that the "good guys" have a foolproof plan in place to obviate the damage wrought by such a potential constitutional crisis. But we'll have to endure it in real time, and it could get real stressful.

It would also be the perfect time for those who wish us ill to take full advantage. It's bloodcurdlingly chilling even considering such a notion, but it's viable and real.

[First Speaker]

8. A Pence Presidency would be less melodramatic, but even more dangerous...

...he is a Dominionist, and very determined. He and his allies would work inexorably towards a quite literal theocracy, and his lack of drama might make his path all the smoother. We might actually get nostalgic for Trump...

[shraby]

10. He's in this up to his eyebrows, as is the top half of the gop. They'll all have a room at

hotel Guantanamo.

[Pluvious]

12. All the more reason we MUST break GOP control of Congress - GOTV !!

Has our Country ever seen a more crucial, pivotal midterms before ?

[lame54]

13. More horrible truths coming out...

Will not persuade those that are needed to take him down

Not sure what will

Have not been very optimistic about any of this

[DFW]

14. I doubt it

It took a total collapse of support for the regimes of the Shah of Iran, Nikolai II of Russia, Louis XVI of France, Charles I of England or even Richard Nixon of the USA to fall. Trump currently enjoys way more support within the USA than any of those characters did when they fall.

This will drag on a while longer.

15. In January of 1973 Nixon still had a 51% approval rating. Nt

[DFW]

19. And he lasted over a year and a half

I don't know what there will be left to save if we have to endure 18 more months of this.

[NCTraveler]

20. It takes time.

The congressional investigation was starting at that point and a lot was known.

[mnmoderatedem]

17. about to collapse? no.

eventually collapse? yes. There's no way to sustain this chaos over time.

But so much damage will happen to this country in the meantime.

18. Ryan and McConnell are Red Don's current structure. Work on them and he'll fail quick
