Is there any possible way that you can see how the Reps will not remain in power the next 4 years?

I'm not talking about Trump but Republican party in general. The speed at which things are going now I can't see how Trump can stay in power another 4 weeks let alone 4 years. Unless there is a major terrorist attack as some have been speculating. But there are mechanisms for removing him if the rest of the republican party ever decides to wake up and take the controlls. But that likely just leaves Pence in power and the rest of the cancerous cabinet that Trump is in the process of installing. That might be a more predictable presidency but still a cancerous one.

Does anyone see any possible way this presidency as a whole could be turft out? It seems obvious that there is Russian involvement at the highest levels. That should be reason enough. But there is no mechanism for invalidating a whole election.

on CNN I would say that Trump and the Repubs are in for as long as they like. These people were so happy they somehow managed to survive those awful Obama years.

I'm convinced somehow we unknowingly stumbled down the rabbit hole, this is wonderland.

Democrats taking the Senate likely can't happen until 2020 or 2024. Don't buy the gerrymandered district BS, if we get out in swing and mild red districts, WE WIN PERIOD.
