Professor who predicted Trumps election says he'll be impeached before 2018 - by Republicans

Professor who predicted Trump’s election says he’ll be impeached before 2018 — by Republicans



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/04/professor-who-predicted-trumps-election-says-hell-be-impeached-before-2018-by-republicans/

The professor who accurately predicted President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory — and who now predicts that he will be impeached — said that he doesn’t think Americans will have to wait for a Democratic Congress in 2018 before Trump is forced out of office.

Politico spoke to Allan Lichtman about his new book, The Case for Impeachment, and why Lichtman believes that the president’s own party will turn on him, enabling Congress to remove him from the White House.

Lichtman — a professor of history at American University — said that Trump and members of his transition team reached out to him after the election, but they only cared about the first part of his prediction, that Trump would take the White House, and ignored the follow-up prediction that he would not be allowed to serve a full term.

“Taking time out of preparing to become the world’s most powerful leader, he wrote me a personal note, saying ‘Professor — Congrats — good call,’” says Lichtman in The Case for Impeachment. “What Trump overlooked, however, was my ‘next big prediction’: that, after winning the presidency, he would be impeached.”

he's doing GREAT! Just last night one of the hosts on MSNBC had the Con's poll #'s with Pubs were 82%! while his #'s are that high, a Pub Congress would never even mention impeachment, let alone do it!

if the Gangrenous Odious Pricks don't remove him, they will be done as a party and will lose every last fucking shred of credibility. They are clinging to it now.
