Born To Run The Numbers proposes an out-of-the-box idea that can help ensure the Donald Trump is a one-term president:

Excerpts: "Mike Bloomberg, please run for president in 2020 as a Republican...
"It’s interesting to reflect on the fact that every time there has been a significant primary challenge to a incumbent president, it has severely damaged that president’s re-election bid. Reagan did it to Ford in 1976, and Ford lost to Carter. Ted Kennedy did it to Carter in 1980, and Carter lost to Reagan. Buchanan did it to Bush in 1992, and Bush lost to Clinton...
"In today’s world of polarized politics, the only way to reach Republican voters is through the conservative media. And the conservative media must cover a major Republican presidential candidate. Therefore, the conservative media will be forced to serve as a megaphone for Mike Bloomberg to speak truth to the Trump base. Mike Bloomberg could command interview slots with every conservative commentator, could go one-on-one against Donald Trump in debates in every state, and could reveal Trump’s ignorance, deceit, and potentially criminal behavior right on Fox News. This turns the Republican media bubble inside out and transforms it into a fire hydrant of truth against Donald Trump and directly to his base. Most important: history has proven that an effective primary challenge to a sitting president can have a severely damaging impact in the general election..."

BTRTN: Who's Really the Awful Comedian? Michelle Wolf, or Rudy Giuliani?
Born to Run the Numbers asks who deserves to be called out for going over the line... Michelle Wolf, or Rudy Giuliani?
http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/05/btrtn-whos-really-awful-comedian.html
Excerpt: "If you did not have the time to watch the full nineteen minutes of Michelle Wolf’s performance, probably all you know is that she made a joke that appeared to be a harsh insult about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ physical appearance. In fact, it was actually a joke about how often, how effortlessly, and how relentlessly Sarah Sanders lies to the citizens who pay her salary. If Sarah Sanders was offended by the portion of the joke that made light of her heavy-duty eye make-up, then the White House Press Secretary is packing even less intellectual voltage than we had previously presumed, which was somewhere between dental floss and frozen pizza.
Just for the record, every time I see Sarah Huckabee Sanders flinging her bulbous, odious, self-righteous, and pompous brand of bullshit from the White House podium, I am visually reminded of Ursula the Sea-Witch in The Little Mermaid....I have wanted to use that joke a number of times, but a small voice in the back of my head always reminded me that liberals don’t make jokes about physical appearance. That’s something that only the President of the United States is allowed to do.
"Please tell me why Donald Trump is allowed to vilify the physical appearance of campaign rivals, physically handicapped reporters, and women who accuse him of sexually predatory behavior, and liberals are crucified for even stepping near this territory."

BTRTN: What Would Impeachment Really Look Like? Not Pretty...For Anyone.
Born To Run The Numbers pauses to contemplate what the United States might experience if Donald Trump became the first President removed from office through impeachment:
http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/04/btrtn-what-would-impeachment-really.html
Excerpts: "In short, Cohen appears to be patient zero for just about any and every area of possible Trump malfeasance. Pundits were salivating at the prospect that this could lead to a plea bargain and eyewitness evidence from Trump’s most intimate advisor outside his own family. Have smoking gun, will travel. In the grand liberal wet dream, Cohen would lead the Conga line of dunces who have served as Donald Trump’s enablers, fixers, thugs, campaign advisors and Cabinet Officers as they parade one by one in front of a Senate impeachment trial and sing their songs of money laundering, fraud, obstruction of justice, and the big “C,” – the cancer on this Presidency – collusion. When the roll call rolls and the bells toll in this Democratic fantasy, 68 Senators give Trump the thumbs down, and the President is measured for an orange jump suit in the Federal Confinement Resort and Spa in Cumberland, Maryland. The next day, tens of millions of Trump voters denounce the former President and admit to their neighbors that they had made a terrible mistake in voting for him. Beams of sunlight slice through the clouds and the United States of America reverts back to the precise cultural coordinates that had been in place on November 7, 2016.
Dream on, lefty..."

BTRTN: Trump, Comey, and the "I Alone Can Fix It" Syndrome
Born To Run The Numbers on what Comey and Trump have in common:
http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/04/btrtn-comey-trump-and-i-alone-can-fix.html
Excerpts: "I hear many people now saying that they’ve always felt that James Comey is a man of unquestioned integrity, honesty, and loyalty to the nation and the constitution. All that may be true. But if you convince yourself that your own opinion is more important than any policy, precedent, or peer, then the question is whether the truth as you see it is any different from the truth as Donald Trump sees it. Or, perhaps more simply, whether you are a man of high integrity and absolutely terrible judgment.
"Let some believe that he is the man of impeccable virtue who will save us all from the arrogant egomania of Donald Trump. I have a hard time forgetting the fact that he is the arrogant egomaniac who gave us all Donald Trump. What is creepy is that they actually have something terrifying in common. Both were placed in positions of extraordinary power, and both granted even more extraordinary latitude in the wielding of that power. Both seem to believe that when push comes to shove, decades of policy, principle, and precedent governing actions can and should be tossed aside, because they both believe one thing.
"I alone can fix it."

BTRTN: Head-On Collusion Course... Mueller vs. Putin
Born To Run The Numbers on "Manafort's Destiny:" Paul Manafort is intransigent, refusing to plea bargain with Mueller. Why?
http://www.borntorunthenumbers.com/2018/04/btrtn-head-on-collusion-coursemueller.html
Excerpts: "Still, though, somewhere in a conference room in the vicinity of Washington, D.C., investigators are working on each and every potential element of collusion, but a huge piece of the massive a jig-saw puzzle is missing. That is the cooperation of former Trump Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort...This is a guy who is absolutely refusing to cut a deal with Robert Mueller despite facing jail time that would last, should he survive, until the millennium when the Jetson family is no longer cartoon science fiction. Just about everybody he has worked with who is not named Trump or married to somebody named Trump has already flipped and is singing to Mueller like the saucy new cast of My Fair Lady, and they are no doubt offering up juicey deets on Manafort when not able to implicate the Big Stupid himself. Speculation that Manafort is sitting pretty with the promise of a pardon is easily dismissed by the reality that many of the allegations against him could be tried as state crimes, which are beyond the reach of a Presidential pardon. The mere optics alone on this guy are overwhelming: once he’s comfortably ensconced in a Federal White-Collar Crime Spa, expect a best seller entitled, 'If I Colluded.'"
