Romney will be the Republican nominee!

This time a millionaire will do good for the masses. You fools still believe it. It is the super-wealthy who love and respect the common people and want to make them healthier and wealthier. Trump gave a huige tax cut to the wealthy. Big shock. He is fighting to take away healthcare. All to make things better for you. I know, you rightys believe that.

If it's true that the (R)s are turning to Romney, then the Toadstool probably will be impeached in the Senate. We'll see. Sounds too good to be true.

Just a few paragraphs, but the entire article is very spot-on and so worth the read.

Mitch McConnell might throw Trump under the bus

Ever since Nancy Pelosi first announced the launching of an impeachment inquiry, many of us jumped forward in time to the Senate trial that would follow an impeachment vote in the House, wondering out loud whether Mitch McConnell would block Donald Trump’s trial from ever taking place. I thought for sure McConnell would pull a Merrick Garland stunt and insist that the trial couldn’t take place within a year of the presidential election, and then perhaps hold a procedural vote to back up his would-be scam.

It turns out, however, that McConnell has no choice but to allow the trial to commence, should the House vote to impeach the president — and it looks like Nancy Pelosi has whipped enough votes to make it all but certain that Donald Trump will become only the third president in history to be impeached by the House, and the third to be tried in the Senate per the language of Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution.

During an interview with CNBC on Monday, McConnell confirmed that he wouldn’t pull any stunts to obstruct a trial in the Senate — neither the Senate rules nor the partisan split would allow for such a thing.

“I would have no choice but to take it up,” McConnell said. “How long you are on it is a different matter, but I would have no choice but to take it up based on a Senate rule on impeachment.”

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, whose first-hand experience in the Senate and knowledge of its functioning is well known, suggested that McConnell is panicking about 2020. “This is a very, very big deal,” O’Donnell wrote on Twitter. “First, McConnell agrees with Schumer’s unanimous consent request for whistleblower documents and now this. McConnell is doing exactly what he should be doing if he thinks he might need a different nominee for president.”

The process itself, in fact, could push Trump to up and quit before the trial ever begins. (There’s another reason he should resign, coming up presently.) This is a man who’s taken extraordinary steps to make sure that Congress and the public never see his tax returns or financial records. There’s perhaps an entire iceberg under the surface, too, composed of dark secrets we don’t even know about at this point.

All of it could be trotted out by House managers back-to-back — a virtual highlight reel of Trump’s dirtiest crapola, along with supporting evidence and witness testimony.

Given Trump’s obsessive desire to guard his own copious ass by obstructing literally all congressional subpoenas, it wouldn’t shock me if Trump decided he’d rather quit than have his tax returns and other documents exposed like dick-pics on TMZ.

Despite the bridge and his corpulence, I could vote for that guy. He's not a clown. Anyone seems good compared to this loser.

Christie is a thug and bully so please do not jump the gun before you familiarize yourself with this disgusting guy who has also gotten away with crimes. There were good reasons for the plummeting of his poll numbers in NJ before he finally left.
 
we've been hearing "trump lost his mind" since 2015. we get it, you liberals think trump lost his mind. Meanwhile, republicans love him! he's a very stable genius.

Thanks, that IS a good read. Two paragraphs stuck out. This scary one:

"The “different nominee,” naturally, would be Vice President Mike Pence, after having ascended to the presidency should the trial be successful or should Trump resign. Pence would be a much more compliant chief executive, less unpredictable and considerably less, um, disruptive in terms of institutional damage or incriminating tweets. The evangelical base would absolutely turn out to vote for Pence, perhaps with greater energy than for a Trump re-election. In the end, Trump has to resign and allow Pence to be sworn in. He has no choice. I’ll explain shortly."

and this more optimistic one:

"The only legal way Trump can guarantee he won’t be prosecuted after he leaves office is to resign with a Gerald Ford-style pardon from Pence. That’s it. Someone should tell him, because I’m sure he hasn’t yet considered the Sophie’s Choice he faces. Resignation and a presidential pardon, taken together, are Trump’s only path to avoiding prison shy of pulling off another improbable election victory, which is no sure thing, whatever he may say."

I hope the (D)s are looking at Pence's actions on Ukraine as well.

I am wondering why that Southern District of NY stuff was not mentioned in the article (unless I missed it) because I can recall that issue being a real big incentive for his being super desperate to "win" and stay in office at any cost.

It appears that Pence is being dragged in...

Trump’s Ukraine Extortion Scheme Could Bring Down Mike Pence
https://www.politicususa.com/2019/09/21/trump-ukraine-extortion-scheme-could-bring-down-pence.html

But what really caught my eye was this....

Without an assurance from Pence along those lines, Trump might ask his delegates to support someone else — such as Ivanka, who, if victorious in the general election, would pardon her dad.

WTF??? I have actually seen posts that mention Ivanka as a possible future candidate...OMG!!! And who will be on the bottom of the ticket? Bristol Palin?

But, you’re talking about Republicans, who are now Trumpublicans, it will take awhile for their party to change back.

Change back? To what? Just garden variety obstructionists and corporate puppets? Hopefully, they just get relegated to the dustbin of history.

Now that it's crystal clear,Trump has lost his mind.
There is a lot of talk in the backrooms of the Senate and the House.
That Romney needs to run against Trump.
That Romney will get full support,from party elders.
To take the party back from a madman!
Before Trump and Pence take the party down with them.
This will come to light of day on Meet the Press,and other Sunday political shows.

Romney is an idiot and will never beat Trump. I refused to vote for Romney the last time and would not vote for him ever. The hate Trumps want to hurt the GOP
