If Republicans like Pence like at all and don't care enough about the harm Donald's currently doing, waiting to impeach Donald until 2019 is an interesting gamble worth considering. Fanfiction time - Its 2019, Trump is still President and has been served articles of impeachment by, for the sake of a good story, republican controlled House and is in the process of a trial before the senate. Its January and he is spending all of his time campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire againdt a surprisingly game John Kasich. Rumors abound as senators sympathetic to Kasich try to make this a big spectacle led by Lindsey Graham that Pence may be placed on the ticket at the top if Trump is impeached. The proceedings are slow because every Democrat with a pulse sees this as an opportunity to be present and it is difficult to make Quorum for the trial - harder still because Trump will not leave the campaign trail himself without a subpoena.

Trump inherited his fortune but describes himself as though he were a self-made man. He has had a middling career in real estate and a poor one as a hotelier and casino operator but convinced people he is a titan of industry. He has never managed a large, complex corporate enterprise, but he did play an executive on a reality show. He presents himself as a confident ladies’ man but is so insecure that he invented an imaginary friend to lie to the New York press about his love life and is now married to a woman who is open and blasé about the fact that she married him for his money. He fixates on certain words (“negotiator”) and certain classes of words (mainly adjectives and adverbs, “bigly,” “major,” “world-class,” “top,” and superlatives), but he isn’t much of a negotiator, manager, or leader. He cannot negotiate a health-care deal among members of a party desperate for one, can’t manage his own factionalized and leak-ridden White House, and cannot lead a political movement that aspires to anything greater than the service of his own pathetic vanity. --- Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge! <cite>LordoftheMorons posted [p:883883441] in Politics C...
