Nov 2017

Yes hillary could be made speaker as a non-member, but republicans will *never* agree to remove Donnie and pence *simultaneously*.

A new republican would be nominated and confirmed veep in between, as Gerald ford was.

No, he's aware there is not a realistic scenario onenote Nov 2017 #19

In 2020 the R's might not be controlling the House any longer. I don't think anyone pnwmom Nov 2017 #38

what would be the point of an impeachment proceeding AFTER the 2020 elections? onenote Nov 2017 #39

I meant 2018, but the same principle applies. I obviously think the facts will be far more damning pnwmom Nov 2017 #42

I don't care what the fact show. The republicans will not agree to a strategy that puts a Democrat onenote Nov 2017 #44

Again, you don't think there will be the equivalent of dead bodies. I do. n/t pnwmom Nov 2017 #45

Dead bodies? Really? onenote Nov 2017 #47

Enough ordinary Americans will believe it that the R's will fear for their re-election chances. pnwmom Nov 2017 #50

The Republicans fear their base more than ordinary republicans onenote Nov 2017 #51

Technically that would work, except The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2017 #8

There is a way to get a Democrat in the White House before 1/20/21, but not necessarily HRC jmowreader Nov 2017 #16

In what universe would the Republicans allow this scenario? onenote Nov 2017 #20

Up that to one jmowreader Nov 2017 #34

Even so, they would work the timing so that they controlled who was his successor onenote Nov 2017 #36

Easiest way to get a Democratic President in 2018 is to get Yupster Nov 2017 #46

What more proof could anyone need that this Painter guy shouldn't be taken seriously melman Nov 2017 #17

Disagree...he's come up with good gems.. HipChick Nov 2017 #22

And yet he doesn't even know the Speaker doesn't have to be a House member onenote Nov 2017 #25
