He can join Snowden in Moscow. Sure his boss will give him refuge the rest of his life. Maybe they even saved his favorite mattress.

Like all the liberals who said they would leave the country in Trump won. They were also just kidding around right? Perhaps this is a trail balloon for Trump. I am sure the thought has crossed his mind.

Trump made the comment and I am just asking would he actually do it.

Trump loses the election and his appeal at the results. Trump, Pence and a judge board AF1. Trump resigns and Pence gets sworn in. President Pence pardons Trump for any federal charges. AF1 drops Trump in a country where he cannot be extricated. His family later follows him there.


What is the likelihood of this?
Yes, I expect him to leave the country some time after he leaves office. He doesn't want to end up like Epstein.

Once he is no longer president, Air Force One is not at his disposal, but I expect him to have plenty of time to leave on his own before formal state charges are brought up against him. Also, there may be other Federal charges which might be brought up even after he finagles a pardon for the more obvious crimes. The man is filthy dirty and it is not wise for him to stay within our borders after he loses the protection of the oval office.

There is zero chance of the Democrats getting a 2/3 majority in the Senate which would be required to remove a president from office, following impeachment by the House. Republicans (save perhaps Romney) will continue to support him unconditionally.

I don't have that kind of time to complete the list. I agree with Trump that Biden is a horrible candidate. Probably the 2nd worst candidate I can remember. However he is way up in the polls because he is running against the worst candidate I can remember. and the gap between the worst and 2nd worst is huge. And he is pulling GOP senate candidates down with him. But you Trumpers will never see Trump as the emperor without clothes.

2-thirds of the Senate? No chance.
And every time they try to Impeach it only helps Trump's reputation as "the outsider" who angered the swamp.

I'd rather him be tried and convicted of a myriad of crimes; however, if he left and never came back, I'd take that too.

The best thing Biden can do, is the let Trump keep talking. Because he's going to say something outrageous, that's going to spend a day or two in the news cycle, let him keep talking.

Impeaching him over the Ukraine call was stupid. It was also too close the the election. It made it a strictly partisan spectacle. It was a weak case. Even if there was a better reason to start impeachment it was handing the election to the Democrats so the GOP was not going to do it. If the Dems seize the senate and have say 52 votes. They would need 15 of the 48 GOP to flip. Trump keeps providing more ammunition for impeachment in 2020. But my guess is he will lose in November.

Democrats all instantly assume that he was hinting at crimes regarding the Russia hoax. Maybe he was referring to the violent leftists like Antifa that won't let people be.
