I see you have been around here for a while, certainly before the election. Can you point to one of your election predictions from before Nov 2016 so we can gauge how well you can see the future?

Like I mentioned, the time isn't up yet. Maybe you will be right, but maybe I will be. Either way, I won't crow about it, as Trump is nothing but a loss for the nation whether he stays or goes. The only difference is the loss will be greater the longer he stays.

And the 2016 election? Lightning in a bottle. It's not likely to occur again any time soon.

So it's not an occasion for triumph at all, in my view. The U.S. shouldn't have ever have to cut it's losses to limit the damage.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but I don't see how he loses in 2020. The left has no clue how to be likable anymore.

Not yet there isn't. And granted, there may never be. But with the discoveries of interference that led to Flynn, Manafort, and now Roger Stone, who were all closely connected to Trump during the campaign, once any of these guys testifies to save his own hide, if there's something prosecutable, it will come out. If nothing is prosecutable, that will come out too.

But the threat of impeachment isn't the greatest pressure on Trump. The de-legitimization of his election is greater. If this becomes the big threat to his delicate psyche, I expect he will quit winners rather than stay on as a powerless, illegitimate President.

It's far too late to remove him from office due to election interference now unless impeachable evidence is found. Even then, the feckless Republican cripples would never find the spine to impeach him, even if the evidence is clearly there.

If I'm dead wrong, I'll live with it. I've been wrong before. But I've been right before, too, more than once or twice.

That says nothing about Trump's physical health. He flies in, gets on a golf cart, is driven to the rally, leans on the podium for support, walks around a little, and then off to the golf cart again.

Trump just doesn't exercise; he's anti-exercise and believes too much is bad for the health.

I get that much exercise just walking up and down the stairs in my split-level home every day.

I will repeat this for you as well. I see you have been around here for a while, certainly before the election. Can you point to one of your Presidential election predictions from before Nov 2016 so we can gauge how well you can see the future?
