       Trump will NOT &quot;serve&quot; a second term
   DIR By: AGelbert

       &#128077; 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 &#129408; 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 &#128266; 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.
       Then came a &#128266; loud chant: “Lock him up.” @wusa9

       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.

       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.
