I think Mike Pence will be President shortly

To be succeeded by Joe.

1. I don't think so

I'm not sure what Mitch is up to, but I suspect he wants to maximize the number of Republican Reps to vote for impeachment. That gives Mitch some leverage over Trump until he leaves.

5. You are so jaded! And very likely right.

[Dream Girl]

7. Until who leaves?

[El Supremo]

10. Mitch wants him out of the GOP.

So he will push for barring him from office in the trial.

14. His departure is only a week away.

I don’t know what McConnell would be trying to influence Trump to so in such a short period of time.

[bullimiami]

2. I have always thought trump would eventually step aside for the pardon.

I expect Mitch to offer him the Nixon either he will take it or explode which will result in conviction.

3. I think we are gonna see impeachment and removal.

9. From your keyboard to karma's ear!

12. If McConnell brings the Senate back early, he won't be doing it to fail.

[SheltieLover]

13. Right! But will he?

I doubt it, tbh.

[roamer65]

16. We will find out soon.

👍👍

[SheltieLover]

18. I hope so!

20. ..

19. It's now politically the best thing for the GOP

It neuters Trump for future elections and they can look like the sane ones, effectively locking out Trump's looney followers

[tblue37]

4. If he is, it will be very short.

6. Mitch hasn't yet said the Senate will be reconvened before Jan. 19. Nt

[catbyte]

11. Yep. Until he does that, this is just a cynical move to stop the corporate donations bleeding.

[bearsfootball516]

17. I don't think those donors care unless action is taken.

They don’t give a shit what McConnell says. He can say that he wants Trump to be impeached until the cows come home, but they aren’t going to care until he actually does it.

8. I'm thinking they will go all the way. *fingers crossed*

[Chainfire]

15. I think we are going to have to wait it out.

If he is impeached, it will be after the inauguration. I don't see the 25th removing him either. The next time he gets on AF1 the pilot should just just get diverted by weather and have to land in Gitmo until the weather improves in about a week.

21. Trump will become an asterisk in the history books.

He will only be remembered as the biggest failure to occupy the White House.

[marlakay]

22. Does he get to keep all the goodies

SS, pension, travel if he resigns? If so he might because they are close to taking it all away.
