What does that have to do with him not getting impeached? Jimmy Carter wasn't even supposed to be nominated, yet alone elected, and in addition to those two stunning economic years, he still got booted out after one term. He was quite unconventional for his time, and what did he have to show for it?

The ability to upset conventional wisdom does not equate to immunity from being impeached or otherwise getting removed from office prematurely. Anyone who believes that it does lives in some sort of alternative reality.

Will there be the top tier jobs, of course...but I'm sorry, soldering an electrical board does not require a PHD....
Do you really think this new center will have jobs requiring the use of a soldering iron?

Good grief. He's done exactly what Republicans have been doing since Lee Atwater -- lying, falsely accusing others, and carrying water for the rich.
Of course he's shattered conventional wisdom. There's not a single person in Washington DC who thought Donald Trump would defeat 16 primary candidates and Hillary Clinton. And how did he do it? By being the antithesis of everything Washington has done for the the past 100 years. That's not to say that he hasn't wavered in order to get things done. But the totality of his actions and policies are exactly the opposite of virtually any other Republican or Democrat before him. It's not even debatable.

One could argue that WILL get him impeached or otherwise removed from office early, rather than NOT get him impeached or otherwise removed from office early.

Jimmy Carter was not "unconventional." He was weak. And he simply replaced an unelected President seeking the Presidency. Not exactly a harbinger of a decision. Ultimately, America decided that Jimmy Carter didn't have what it takes for that particular moment in the American story. Donald Trump and Carter aren't even in the same political universe.

Sorry, but you have no way of knowing that.

More to the point, why are you so eager to urinate on this great news?

Jimmy Carter was quite unconventional. He was a little known Georgia governor who came out of nowhere to win the nomination and then the election. A year before the election, nobody could have guessed he would win the presidency.

Because Americans (in terms of education and work ethic) are all show and no meat. Poor educational standards but have the highest expectations for pay and company.

It's not about the number of hours you work, it's about how smart you work. That seems to be the problem people have in changing their attitude towards education and work in general.

There's not a chance in hades that Democrats move an impeachment vote out of committee to the floor. And that, of course, assumes they have the majority in the House to begin with. Nancy Pelosi won't allow it. Bet on it.
