At this point I don't see how Trump can run for President in 2020

[Snake Plissken]

He won't last that long, his mental state is deteriorating right before the entire world's eyes.

He's not like Reagan who was able to hide from the public.

Trump's mental illness is on full display every single day on Twitter, and he's leaving a paper trail.

[Shell_Seas]

1. But Republicans still love him and think he's awesome. Most probably disagree with your assessment.

[Snake Plissken]

5. They don't love him, the obscenely wealthy consider him a useful idiots ...

as do the religious con man, only the low IQ hardcore racists love him, everyone else is afraid to say what they think of him.

[Mariana]

16. Sorry, but that simply isn't true.

It sounds like you're engaging in wishful thinking. Republicans do love him. Evangelical Christians, in particular, believe God put him in office, and that he's implementing God's plan. That's why the overwhelming majority of them voted for him, and would leap at the chance to do so again. You can argue that those Christians are being conned, and I don't disagree, but they don't know that, do they?

[smirkymonkey]

21. Look at the crowds at his rallies.

It's the lowlife, low IQ, Christian Evangelicals who love him. These people do not represent ALL republicans. I know a lot of republicans who either voted for him reluctantly (simply because he was the republican candidate) or voted for him because they hated Hillary/Liberals/Minorities/Gay People/Immigrants/Feminists, etc. They were never particularly taken in by him as a candidate.

There are a lot of educated, mainstream Protestant/Catholic (and other denominations), middle/upper-middle class republicans who voted for him as well because they thought he would best represent their interests, but they don't LIKE him. They are not true-believers.

26. Ergo, Republicans are mentally ill.

2. As long as r support him

And don’t move to remove him or primary him I think he will run

[democratisphere]

3. drumpf will be removed from the oval office long before the 2020 elections.

drumpf shouldn't even be considered for a second term.

[rzemanfl]

7. From your keyboard to some omnipotent being. n/t

13. The Great Spirit of Sanity and Reason contacted me.

[bobGandolf]

8. I agree, he won't last. N/T

[leftieNanner]

4. And he also feels that the only way he stays out of prison

is if he stays in the Oval Office. We will only get him out of there kicking and screaming.

I think only a massive heart attack or stroke which involves a gurney and an extended trip to Walter Reid Hospital will get him out.

A girl can dream, can't she?

[CrispyQ]

12. Yes. I dream for a Big Mac Attack everyday. The sooner the better. -nt

[Cosmocat]

18. YEP

People want to believe what they want to believe - there is NOTHING about him, what he has said or done that indicates him not having to be forcibly removed from the Oval Office if we somehow manage to have our candidate win in November of 2020.

[leftieNanner]

20. I was encouraged by Lawrence O'D

a while back when he mentioned that after the Dem wins in 2020, and the inauguration is held on January 20, the Federal Marshals will remove Trump from the White House because he is no longer the President of the United States.

Of course the trick for us is getting from November 3 to January 20 unscathed.

[Cosmocat]

29. Yeah

[bobGandolf]

6. Thank you! I agree,

I do not think he can last that long. His behavior is escalating IMO.

[comradebillyboy]

9. All of the Republicans are afraid to primary him. They would

rather go down with the ship.

[Jarqui]

10. I just said something similar here

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11937079

The GOP will take a shot with someone who has a better chance of winning. Trump's chances of hanging on are slim at best.

[magicarpet]

11. Are you kidding ?

trDump is the best presidump ever. He has accomplished more in one week that most accomplish in 10 years time. He is without question the best there ever was, believe him.

[Karadeniz]

14. He has to run.

As prez, he can dangle pardons, call exec. privilege, lie at will, use campaign funds to pay lawyers...and I heard as many as nine DOJ lawyers were working on his defense. He doesn't have the money to pay for all the benefits he gets as prez. I'd imagine he'd do whatever it takes to stay in office.

[Cosmocat]

19. Reality based post

[woofless]

15. I agree.

The sooner the better.

[sarcasmo]

17. I've been saying this for awhile now. The @GOP will bail this summer. R Money part two.

[USALiberal]

22. Predicted MONTHLY yet he is still here! nt

[UniteFightBack]

23. He ain't gonna go on his own and it ain't gonna be willingly...UNLESS, he is offered a 'great deal'

and if that happens you watch America explode in anger.

24. Barring a foaming-at-the mouth complete breakdown, or some other incapacitating medical "event"...

It’s likely that the miserable S.O.B. will still be standing in 2020. At the very least, Democratic candidates should prepare to face 45.

If Republicans were committed to doing what’s right for the country, they’d have gotten rid of Trump long ago. Now, even his initial Republican critics are with him.

[lindysalsagal]

25. I hope he runs and loses, assuming he's still above ground and in the U.S. at that point.

I still think he'll hop his jet to Argentina when they really reveal he's a russian mobster.

[bearsfootball516]

27. I've read this post or a form of it every day for the last two years

It hasn’t been right yet.

[mainstreetonce]

28. I am still hoping

Knowing he is losing ,he drops out near the end. Too late for another candidate to get much support.

[Luciferous]

30. I think that he's running at this point to stay out of jail

[SuperCoolPoster]

31. yes, but reality is that his supporters don't care

the thing is that many of his supporters are either blind or don't care that their hero is mentally unstable...

[Captain Stern]

32. I believe that's wishful thinking.

I'd like to believe it, but I've fallen for this sort of thing too often before.

I was ecstatic when trump won the republican primary because I thought we'd beat him in a landslide. I was actually embarrassed for the poor, dumb, bastards that thought trump actually had a chance to win. Turns out I was the one that was wrong.

Then, I thought the orange clown would be impeached, or quit, in less than a year. I thought that surely, once everyone saw how bad he was at the job, that most people would be happy to see him go. Again, I was wrong.

There have been many times since, when I thought that trump was almost finished. With all the lies, dumb tweets, scandals, investigations, etc, I thought his support would erode, and he'd be sent packing, on way or the other. Yet, he's still here.

I believe trump will be the republican nominee in 2020 because I don't see anything going on to make me think that he's going to have an opponent in the primary.....hell, South Carolina is talking about NOT having a primary, so trump can't be challenged.

I also don't think he'll be easy to beat in 2020, and that he may very well win reelection. He really hasn't lost that much, if any, support from the people that voted 'for' him last time. They all think he is doing a great job. And, I think that even most republicans that 'held their noses' when they voted for him last time, will do the same in 2020.....they'd rather have any republican over a Democrat any day.
