And he has too much baggage. More will come out. And it will be devastating to him as a politician. Something will stick. Eventually. Even he cannot get away with his utter garbage existence as a human being for 4 years. It's impossible. Something will stick.

Let's say the golden shower really happened ... he, of course say "Fake News! Never Happened" to family, advisors and the world. But when he his by himself - does he change his own history in his mind?

It's been a question that has bothered me all day.

And I agree - and last night I had a good laugh at the expense of Rense Preibus. He has been around the block enough, I would bet that even he - now - has had to come to the same conclusion as you.

I'm thinking so much dirt will surface this next week he will be disqualified. But who the hell knows what will happen. This is unknown territory.

His inauguration will have a few thousand deplorables in attendance. Former politicians will be there. But everyone in attendance will know that this man's tenure is going to be short lived.

Folks around are too afraid of losing power and the momentum they perceived (and already started over stepping) that came with the trump win. I think they also fear the trumpsters. It's going to have to get really bad such that a sliver of the trumpsters even start 'seeing' how bad it is before anyone is going to act.

It's in the constitution. Nothing can stop that. There's not enough time to impeach him and the 25th amendment does not apply until he takes office.

We're stuck with him I am afraid.

I don't think he will be able to handle the non-stop stress.

When in fact enough people will have convinced
him he doesn't have what it takes to be president.

be impeached and subsequently removed from office as a result... but I am pretty sure he'll be removed from office before 2018.

If the intent is to put Pence in the Oval Office, the Constitution says that a replacement president can be elected to 2 terms if more than half his predecessor's term is gone when he takes office, but only one term otherwise. (IOW you can only be president 10 years.) It would be very possible to let Trump do the ceremonial work but leave the sensitive work for Pence and Mattis.

Why should we expect that anything will change?

Trump does what he wants and gets away with it.
