quote:

At the end of our September conversation, Lichtman made another call: that if elected, Trump would eventually be impeached by a Republican Congress that would prefer a President Mike Pence — someone whom establishment Republicans know and trust.

“I'm going to make another prediction,” he said. “This one is not based on a system; it's just my gut. They don't want Trump as president, because they can't control him. He's unpredictable. They'd love to have Pence — an absolutely down-the-line, conservative, controllable Republican. And I'm quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook.”

Gotta give trump a chance. But putting Rick Perry in line for energy secretary is a horrible start

Trump didnt get to where he is now (president of the US) by allowing shite like that to happen. That is a dumbass prediction.

Hillary unfortunately stands alone in that regard. Maybe we shouldn't try to normalize that behavior.

unless Trump does something really impeach-worthy, it would be a political death sentence for any republican to impeach Trump, given how much support Trump has from the people that vote Republican.

He'd do well to stick to his "system"

I think Lichtman is one of the pussies that testified against Clarence Thomas. I think he said he provided poor, traumatized Anita Hill a shoulder to cry on. Just another snowflake.

It would cause unrest of that were to happen. The middle class finally woke up 11 days ago. If they impeach Trump without cause, the middle class would go fricking nuts.

Well dickhead since you heard that from the press that lies how do you know it is true?

Since Trump has made other appointments it is not a "start" anyway.

"Start" is the first thing you do.

they can impeach for any reason they want ... it's not a court of law ...

if you really want to drain the swamp, impeaching trump would get half of it drained ... the other half would still be there, though ...

That is just silly as the last thing any level headed GOPer would do impeach:

They are going to ride his coattails until they are in tatters, and

He has given them the blueprint for remaining in power

Accepting gifts from foreign countries is highly illegal. His failure to separate himself from his businesses will make it easy.

Trump wouldn't even accept campaign money from outside sources to get elected and now you think he will accept foreign donations?

Tread harder, you're drowning.

hopefully Hillary and Bill will ask him to sit on the board of the Clinton Foundation and therefore he gets that elusive immunity he will need.

Dear god, the amount of stupid that has infected this board since the election is unbearable. I thought the Podesta satanic rituals and pizza parlors that specialized in pedophilla were starting to stretch things, but the tards here are grasping and clinging to anything they can get their hands on. Have some self respect and accept you lost.
