evilweasel posted:

you're making a pretty critical error where you analogize the party's interest as a whole to individual republicans. you need to look at it from the standpoint of an individual republican senator. for most of those senators, the primary is the only thing that matters. they piss off the 85% of their base that loves trump, they're out of a job. they piss off the 15% that has shame? eh, they're still gonna win the general.

now, the party's interest may be for all of those senators to take the hard vote, lose their primary for the good of the party, then unify the whole 100% behind Trump, But Less Obviously Corrupt. but none of the senators are going to go for that: they're republicans, suggesting self-sacrifice for the greater good to them is going to risk them literally dying of laughter.

I agree with this generally, but keep in mind that this is a national poll. Around 30% support is probably the point where the Republican controlled areas that aren't completely loving insane are heavily in favor of impeachment. That might break off enough to make it work, while all of the other Republicans vote against to save themselves.

Nah its not even going to be that. If they attempt to impeach with only 30% republican support the other 70% would be very quickly showing up at their offices with their AR's to dissuade them of that

W got down to nearly 25% only a decade ago

But then again, part of that was that nobody felt they had to defend him to win the presidency again. If he was able to run a third time, more Republicans would have convinced themselves to vote for him.

quote:

The accrediting body that oversees Liberty University has asked the college for more information about recent news reports that have questioned President Jerry Falwell Jr.’s leadership style and personal business interests, a spokeswoman told The Associated Press.

The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges recently sent the Lynchburg university a letter asking it to “respond to the media reports,” Janea Johnson said this week.

Johnson declined to provide details about the contents of the letter or any specific concerns the commission would like addressed, saying the commission doesn’t divulge such communications. The most recently available tax records show Falwell makes about $1 million a year running the school.

So what are the potential endgames for this mess?

1) House votes to impeach, enough Senate republicans flip in an anonymous vote to remove Trump from office. Without the shield of the office, he's immediately tried for many crimes and spends the rest of his life in jail.

2) House votes to impeach, senate convicts, but Pence turns around and pardons him. Trump is removed from office, but faces no other punishment.

3) House votes to impeach, senate convicts, but Trump doesn't accept the impeachment as legitimate, refuses to leave and keeps acting like he's President. Pence does nothing to deter this or remove him from the White House. Everyone gets very confused.

4) House votes to impeach, but it fails when the Senate vote is roughly along party lines. No consequences, but assuming it's not an anonymous vote it gets senators on record and the fallout looms over the 2020 election.

5) House votes to impeach, but Mitch decides he doesn't have to ever bring it up in the senate if he doesn't want to. In a 5-4 decision the SC backs him up.

6) The house impeachment vote fails when Nancy Pelosi and a few other dems refuse to vote for it, because it's for the voters to decide lol

7) House impeachment proceedings get so bogged down they never reach the voting stage. We're treated to a year of committee hearings and the press gets time to think of a sexy "-gate" name before Trump is voted out normally in 2020.

8) They stonewall on every subpoena so that the hearings never get anything done. They threaten to hold people in contempt but never seem to get around to it. Trump wins reelection in 2020 and either the dems lose the house or decide that the people have spoken and back down from impeachment.

9) Trump invites house dems to a meeting to talk about it on 5th avenue and shoots them all.



I figure #4 is most likely, and 1-3 are never happening because the Senate republicans are just as crooked as Trump is.

Can a 1 term President be impeached, removed from office, and then run again in the next election? Asking for a friend...

Part of impeachment, which is usually done, is you can be barred from ever holding any office again.
