People like him take their ball and go home when the rules aren't to their liking.
As long as he can capitalize and fill his coffers via his plethora of conflicts of interests, he'll stick it out for as long as possible or until he's given the boot by the GOP if they feel that he is causing them problems that will interfere with their agendas or their own reelections.

Hillary won the illegal immigrant vote - she should be president.

Try 4 years instead of 8, that is if he isn't impeached or found guilty of treason before then.

My bet is on impeachment, as a water downed compromise from an actual crime of treason. People need to save face.

I bet on prediction markets for fun. I bought some bets saying that Trump would have articles of impeachment filed within the first 100 days. it went from a 8% probability to a 12 today. I sold half of it right away.

I expect to either buy it again at 8%, and wait for people to have another freakout, and sell it-again, or run the risk of losing the remaining half of the bet if he gets arrested before the 20th.

Either way I am amused.

I think the first time he challenges the GOP on something they want. Thats when they will impeach him to get Pence. Thats the problem with getting a political VP when you are the outsider....hes one of them.

I'll be fine - great job, insurance, large savings account. But, ironically, I have relatives in eastern KY - poor, not much education, on disability for a few years - poor and not well informed. They think the Democrats are their enemy. Truth is, they are part of that "drain on society" that Republicans complain about so rabidly. They voted for Trump and they will be the ones who suffer.

This guy has called for Russia to hack Hillary's emails. They did. He never blames Russia for anything because maybe they have something on him? What are we to think when he won't even believe his own security staff? Everyone else seems to know the facts but Trump. He won't here of Putin being criticized.
Because I'm not excited about this guy taking office, it's my prerogative. I'm not the only one.

Trump was the leader crying about Obama not being a citizen and fron Kenya. Move on.

It's the left who won't SHUT UP about the election results. And, Trump's tweeting allowed him to bypass the media and probably won him the election!
He refuses to show his income tax returns so we will know who he is indebted to and he also refuses to cooperate with attorneys telling him to put his investments in a blind trust. Stop bellyaching about the tax returns! You don't get to see them.

Obama had many years to fix poverty but it actually got worse.

I could address each or your answers but I will choose this one. Are you freaking kidding me. We don't need Russia, Russia needs us. And that's why Putin has started this bromance with Trump. Do you think you know more about what's going on with Russia than our senate foreign relations committee or anyone else in the know.
