Do you believe the "nothing will happen to Trump unless he's voted out in 2020" thing?

Big article on Salon that I won't bother posting here, since you've probably seen everything in it already in one form or another.

But after listing the mountain of damning evidence against Trump, it throws in that 2020 caveat.

So as of TODAY, where do you stand on this?

Will he be impeached? Doubtful, with a Republican Senate.

Will he quit? Doubtful, unless he sees no other way out.

Will he lose in 2020?

What's the crystal ball telling you today?

Other than he is more miserable and afraid everyday - that may have to be enough for a while. January will be worth waiting for. Televised hearings.

Betting markets are probably our best source at this point.

He can't handle the pressure.

I see this ultimately ending one of three ways for him:

1) He will resign (and be denied a promised pardon) and end his life in jail.
2) He will suffer a heart attack or stroke.
3) He will take his own life.

There is no way that coward ends his term.

and without conviction in the Senate it doesn't remove a president from office. Just ask Bill Clinton.

I could see him claiming to resign by choice and declaring his presidency to be the greatest and most successful presidency of all time, a beautiful presidency, but he would have to leave because there is a massive conspiracy against him by Liberals and the media.

I think it would be best to humiliate Trump in a clear presidential loss for him.

Trump is one litigious Motherfucker, so I doubt he’ll quit—any other reasonable person would have resigned by now. That was my best hope.

Voting him out, it l’s a distinct possibility, but it’s not a given. All the rocks have been turned over, and we see America as it is underneath them and we see millions of Americans being very proud of reclaiming their bigotry.

Trump was fairly predictable in a way. Most of us “SJW’s” were not particularly surprised at him as a viable candidate, even Hillary’s loss didn’t exactly shock me, surprised, but not shocked.
