Trump will NOT "serve" a second term

👍 Surly,
That is an ineresting article you posted covering the
Intelligencer interview with Steve Schmidt
HTML http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/10/steve-schmidt-on-trump-impeachment-2020-and-howard-schultz.html.<br
/>I read it carefully. Steve Schmidt clearly understands the
Trumpism problem destroying the fabric of American society and
government.
--- Quote ---
> My perspective is that the Republican Party is profoundly
corrupted by Donald Trump and it has been corrupted by a
tolerance for all and any type of amoral and immoral behavior.
Tolerance for astounding levels of corruption and exposure of
hypocrisy from the religious far-right leaders like Falwell, to
everybody who screamed and shouted about some perfidious act
that Obama or the Clintons allegedly committed. Trump has remade
the Republican Party into an isolationist, grievance-driven,
resentment-driven political party. The party looks like what it
might have looked like if George Wallace had captured its
nomination and become president. But nobody should underestimate
Trump’s capacity to destroy the Democratic Party as an
institution.
--- End Quote ---
In the above paragraph, though Schmidt, being a staunch
CAPITALIST, will not admit it, is the correct underlying premise
that the REASON Trump has the very real capacity to destroy the
Democratic Party as an institution, is that the Democratic Party
LEADERSHIP is ALSO guilty of bought and paid for tolerance for
all and any type of amoral and immoral behavior.
IOW, while accurately defining the situation, Schmidt fails to
see that the solution lies in the wholesale rejection of bought
and paid for tolerance for all and any type of amoral and
immoral behavior.
The "Capitalism good, Socialism bad" erroneous assumption
Schmidt has of the world view of most of the American electorate
is what causes him to give Mr. Trump and his wrecking crew more
persuasive power than they actually have to influence voters.
Schmidt thinks the MONEY "advantage" that Trump has is the main
factor. Again, that is a failing based on the "Money is IT"
flawed Capitalist world view.
Consequently, Schmidt views the 2020 election like a "close"
horse race between the Democratic Candidate and Trump.
He is wrong.
I'm going to tell you right now that Trump will NOT "serve" (a
verb that never did apply to Trump - he never serves anybody but
himself) a second term. And yeah, as trite and naive as it
sounds, the reason he is going away is BECAUSE the overwhelming
majority of the American voting public have realized, with no
room for doubt whatsoever, that our government, like the GOP,
has been profoundly corrupted by Donald Trump's EMBRACE, never
mind "tolerance", for all and any type of amoral and immoral
behavior.
Yeah, the leadership at the Democratic Party (DLC) does not get
that. That is why Sanders has a much higher chance of being
their candidate than they realize. The DLC, like Schmidt, ALSO
cannot see past their "Money is IT" flawed Capitalist world
view.
All that said, the Republicans are not totally blind to the
threat from a public that polls positively on any and all
expansions of U.S. "socialist" programs. They know their Orange
Fascist 🦀 Hero is on the ropes. So, knowing Trump cannot
win fairly, their mens rea modus operandi will be in-our-faces
voter suppression like nothing this country has ever seen
before.
THAT is not going to work either!
Yes, they also have a plan for that eventuality: Trump will
cancel the election with an executive order based on "National
Security"...
And then Trump will be forced to leave. The uproar will be so
massive that he will have no choice. He will NOT be able to
"walk it back". He will be unceremoniously escorted out of the
White House and taken to a "secure location" (i.e. imprisoned
with ZERO access to outside communication) pending the final
vote count.
ANY Supreme Court Fascist that tries to protest will be quietly
read the "we will impeach your ass PRONTO if you do not STFU
NOW" riot act by some Congressional heavies.
Wishful thinking? That's what Schmidt thinks. Like I said
before, he is wrong.
He forgot that DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST Sanders would have beat
Trump in a LANDSLIDE in 2016, had the DLC not rigged the
nomination for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
He forgot that Trump got people to vote for him MOSTLY because
he LIED about DEFENDING "SOCIALIST" PROGRAMS like Medicare,
Social Security AND Unemployment Compensation. The people HAVE
NOT FORGOTTEN WHO
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-270117175421.png<br
/>LIED TO THEM. All the ads on Fox News and Facebook claiming
otherwise will not change the day to day GUTTED Government
SAFETY NET SOCIAL PROGRAMS REALITY those people, thanks to Trump
doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he promised, are cruelly forced
to live with
HTML http://renewablerevolution.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-040718162656-14241872.gif<br
/>so Trump can further enrich himself and his 1% greedball pals.
Trump would NOT have "won" with just the racist (and
evangelical, but I repeat myself) voters. In addition to the
Russian successful election rigging fun and games, Schmidt
forgets that the DLC GAVE TRUMP THAT ELECTION!

Donald Trump did a very stupid thing on Sunday evening: he
attended a public event that wasn’t populated solely by his own
deranged and drooling fans. Trump attended a World Series game
at Nationals Park in Washington DC, and to say that it didn’t go
well for him would be an understatement. In fact he got a rather
vicious taste of his own medicine.
Trump and underlings have spent years asserting that Hillary
Clinton should go to prison for using the wrong email or some
such nonsense, and they’ve been known to chant “Lock her up!”
accordingly. Some of the Trump people who helped get that chant
off the ground, such as Michael Flynn, are in fact now being
locked up themselves. Trump is now being impeached for a
criminal scandal, and the World Series decided to show him
exactly how they feel about him. Check out this video of the
crowd loudly chanting “Lock him up!”:
President Trump was booed loudly by the fans at Nats Park when
he was shown on the big screen.
Then came a 🔊 loud chant: “Lock him up.” @wusa9

That’s right, the crowd at the World Series let Donald Trump
know exactly how they feel about him. Considering there’s a New
York grand jury that’s actively seeking to criminally indict
Trump on state charges as we speak, and that grand jury just won
a key appeals court ruling over its subpoena of Trump’s tax
returns, the baseball crowd may end up getting its wish.

Palmer Report » Analysis
Last night Donald Trump came face to face with a humiliating
dose of reality, and managed to create an utterly terrible PR
moment for himself, when he attended a World Series game in
Washington DC. When his face was shown on the screen at the
stadium, not only was he loudly booed, the crowd also loudly
chanted “Lock him up!” Now it turns out the whole thing was even
worse for Trump than we knew.
If you’re wondering why the Washington Nationals baseball team
would have wanted Donald Trump at their World Series game when
their fan base clearly hates the guy, it turns out they didn’t
want him there. Or at least they didn’t invite him to be there.
The Washington Post says the idiot just decided to attend the
game without a formal invitation from the team. If you missed
the “Lock Him Up” chant, here’s the video:
President Trump was booed loudly by the fans at Nats Park when
he was shown on the big screen.

This means that Donald Trump didn’t make the mistake of
accepting an ill-fated invitation to a public event where he
should have known he’d get booed; he made a point of showing up
uninvited to a public event where he was sure to get booed. In
sports terminology that’s called an “unforced error.” Now
today’s media coverage will be about Trump getting greeted with
a “Lock Him Up” chant at the World Series, driving home the
point about just what a despised criminal he is.

next level[/center]
Bill Palmer | 4:04 pm EDT October 28, 2019
Palmer Report » Analysis
Over the past couple weeks the House impeachment inquiry has
carried out the necessary process of interviewing witnesses in
private, as any valid criminal investigative process would, in
order to prevent any witness coordination and minimize witness
intimidation. The question has been when this phase of
impeachment would end, and where it will go next. Now Speaker of
the House Nancy Pelosi is delivering answers.
Speaker Pelosi has sent a letter to House members explaining
what happens next. The lengthy letter, obtained by Politico,
says this in part: “This week, we will bring a resolution to the
Floor that affirms the ongoing, existing investigation that is
currently being conducted by our committees as part of this
impeachment inquiry … This resolution establishes the procedure
for hearings that are open to the American people, authorizes
disclosure of deposition transcripts, outlines procedures to
transfer evidence to the Judiciary Committee as it considers
potential articles of impeachment, and sets forth due process
rights for the President and his Counsel.”
So where does this get us? It means House Democrats are about to
take everything public. Transcripts of the existing testimony
will be released. Upcoming hearings will be televised. The
closed-door phase of impeachment is about to end, and the House
will begin taking its impeachment argument directly to the
public. To be clear, even though the resolution will be voted on
this week (MSNBC says Thursday), this next phase won’t
necessarily begin this week; the current round of closed-door
witness testimony isn’t quite over yet.
What’s remarkable is that, based solely on what’s surfaced in
the media thus far about Donald Trump’s recent scandals, the
polls say that a growing majority of Americans already think
Trump should be impeached and removed from office. This number
should climb even higher once the bulk of the evidence and
testimony against Trump soon becomes public.
