I don't think he would make it 7 and a half years through his presidency only to then guarantee an assassination attempt in the last 6 months.

Also, if he makes it to the convention he can and there is a possibility he will sell the nomination back to the GOP.

I mean yeah that's technically extortion... but I mean if that was brought to trial would I personally vote to convict?

Could he actually do this? If yes then that actually sounds like the most plausible option. Trump's ego his huge, but his greed seems to be all-consuming. Why take a job he is guaranteed to lose at when he could instead get filthy rich off of it without losing any face?

I mean normally I wouldn't believe someone would do this, but we're talking about Trump so it's not really a bad idea to take the most ridiculous possibility and run with it.

My favorite part of that was where each Speaker pushing for impeachment over an affair was, at the time, cheating on his wife. Except for the serial pedophile.

To be fair to them, it wasn't the affair that Clinton got in trouble for, it was lying under oath about it. The fact that he was easily the most investigated president in history made their job of getting him to lie under oath though that much easier.

Yeah when a lame duck president's party wins seats in the final midterm, it probably means the opposing party screwed up big time. The 1998 election being bad news for Republicans was said to be a repudiation of their efforts to bring down Clinton, who was pretty popular at the time.

Ehh, lying under oath is a pretty serious thing. That they only got him to do it for something totally unrelated to what they were investigating him for was what was bullshit.

Didn't Cruz do pretty much the same thing in one of the early primary states? In fact I recall that one was even worse, implying the recipient was in trouble over a "voting violation" or some such nonsense.

When all else fails, scare the living poo poo out of your voter base with misleading threats of legal action.

"Misogyny was an issue about maybe 60, 80 years ago,"

...

"There is a sentiment among frat guys, lacrosse players and middle class affluent white kids that they are kind of getting persecuted lately," Portnoy told CBS News.

"You tell a joke it gets blown out of proportion. You gotta walk on eggshells. There's kind of that feeling, and Trump, he tells a joke and doesn't back down.
He says things that would normally been frowned upon. At a school, a kid would get expelled. Not that it's right or wrong, but he's sort of defending a lot of the things they've been attacked for in the last five years or so."

"It's an F-U to society, who is telling us we are a bad guy because we like hooking up with girls on spring break," he added. "And they see Trump sticking up for that."

Spotify asked members of Congress to create playlists and they are all awful.

They go from one genre to the next in a sad attempt to please everyone, they all seem to put a song from Hamilton on them, and a disturbing number of fifty year old dudes listen to Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.

Credit to Senator Mike Lee for just listing Zeppelin, Rush, and U2, which I have no trouble believing is a real Mike Lee playlist.
