Likelihood: Trump loses in 2020, accepts the vote as legit, and cleanly transfers power?

[Big Nasty Edison]

Trump is an illuminati reptilian Satanist who will use his NWO armies to declare himself emperor of America after trapping us in with his border wall.

Don't get mad at me, that's just what I've heard people saying.

But he shouldn't do that. It'd be the wrong thing to do.

 

[computer fogie]

I highly doubt he survives the next year in office, based on where the investigation is going now.

 

[cottagecheesefan]

Trump won't win the election...

tTrump won't make it to 6 months as president...

Trump won't make it to 1 year as president...

Now this?

I am not a Trump fan, but this is pretty funny stuff.

Honestly man. How is whether trickle down economics going to work, still a question?

The GOP have pedaled the trickle down lie to the Rubes since Regan even though there is proof that it does not work. Just look at how badly Kansas is failing with the same style tax bill they are trying to pass for the entire country.

 

[HereticBD]

I highly doubt he survives the next year in office, based on where the investigation is going now.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say they nail Trump and move to impeach. Do you really think the Republicans are going to vote to remove their meal ticket?

 

[panamaican]

A totally ridiculous statement that will be demonstrated as such whenever and however Trump leaves office.

I remember dems saying that Reagan would start a nuclear war, typical alarmist hacks.

I also remember repubs claiming that Obama would go off the socialist ledge.

Note that I said "gracefully", not "peacefully". I'm sure it will be peaceful, I'm not sure it will be graceful.

I'm unconvinced that the core of his supporters actually care about being antiestablishment, or they would have abandoned him months ago.

If they were really antiestablishment, they would have abandoned him during the campaign, when the campaign revealed plans for WS deregulation and massive upward redistribution of wealth through the tax code. That is, if "antiestablishment" has real meaning and doesn't just reflect a pose.

If you were a betting person, what would you place the odds of Donald Trump running for reelection in 2020, losing the electoral college vote, and then (i) publicly conceding and (ii) acknowledging the election as legitimate and untainted? This would produce a sequence of events akin to every other change in administration in US history, notwithstanding impeachment or assassination.

I figure it's (80% that he makes it through four years without impeachment) x (70% that he runs for reelection) x (75% that he loses the election) x (40% that he recognizes the election as legitimate) x (80% that he nevertheless yields to a transfer of power to the next administration).

.8 x .7 x .75 x .4 x .8, for a grand total of 13%

And, yes, this is a un-substantive, vapid Trump discussion.

Trump has had an amazingly low approval rating since his election. It hasn't hurt him at all. Because he's still a better alternative in most people's minds to the Progressive Ideology that is currently destroying the Democratic Party. So basically 7 more years of this is going to drive a lot of people crazy, because the Dems refuse to change.

Trump won't make it to 2020.

LOL.

I think that depends on what particular wrongdoings he committed, if any. If it's serious enough, they won't want to be seen backing a crook, and would just throw another candidate up there. How they would recover from Trump is anybody guess.

Just supposing here, we all have to wait for the investigation to finiish before we can say anything with certainity.

You and Homer's optimism is very erotic to me.

 

[IGIT]

Hi Igit,
The dems are building the blueprint for this scenario as we type..
It's likely the wave of the future

hiho lilelvis,

hmmm?

i don't know what that means, really.

anyway - back to what i wrote; doesn't it seem plausible that (if) Mr. Trump loses in 2020, he'll concoct some hard-to-believe conspiracy theory tweets about how the election results are fraudulent, and a palace coup has taken place?

if you'll concede that to me, then i'll go further....i'd say that if what i stated above does occur, a healthy portion of the GOP electorate would just right onboard with Mr. Trump.

Not only will he serve out the rest of his term, but he's likely to be re-elected in 2020.

 

[Strychnine]

I'll say this...

If a Democrat/Non-Republican wins the presidency after President Trump...

He'll vomi-tweet against them ad-nauseaum.

 

[Mark Hunts FIST]

I just can't imagine he'd want to run again.

I don' see it happening.

 

[silicavaginitis]

Yes, the American people are loving Bush's legislation, and a circus to distract from the same old Republican policies.

MABA. Make America Bush Again.

So they would scream at the sky again?

 

[curryjunkie]

Trump won't make it to 2020.

personally im hoping for an elvis style heart attack on the shitter, following an unfinished tweet, and a leaked photo of the corpse on buzzfeed
"he went out with the same dignity he bought to the office"

 

[jimbob27]

Invalidate and delegitimize. The Russia collusion hoax has completely dwarfed "birtherism" at this point. And its about 100x more dangerous narrative.

Every election the republicans complain about fixed elections with dead people voting in their thousands and coaches of prisoners driving from state to state in order to fix results. Donald was the one who said he'd only accept the result if he won. You can't really blame the dems for stealing his idea.

 

[Hit-N-Run]

The guy is the largest sack of shit, a complete embarrassment, handed the world to China, and is a cunt hair, but he's going to be the president in 2020 for one reason......

The Democrats are a disorganized bunch of fucktards. There isn't a single Democratic leader I can see winning. Not one of them has a chance.

Also, most of the American electorate are a bunch of morons.

 

[VivaRevolution]

Didn't have the balls to stand up to his own party when they screwed him. He just bent over and took it, showing that he's not fit to lead a country. Then after everything that was said about Trump's tax payments, the rich not paying their fair share, wealth distribution and how Sanders is a man of the people, it turns out that despite earning over $1 million in 2016, he uses tax loopholes himself to pay the same rate of tax as people earning less than 20k a year. When he should actually be paying near the same rate as Trump, you know, the guy he spent an entire election campaign saying was the one doing the tax dodging.

As another socialist once said: "accuse the other side of that which you are guilty".

So when Tulsi Gabbard resigned from the DNC, he was just taking it huh?

Bernie's crowd wasn't the one going after trumps tax records, that was the people who screwed Bernie out of the primary. Rachel Maddow is not a bernie bro.

Bernie released his tax records going back many years. He was worth 700k before 2016. Why don't you offer me some proof that Bernie didn't have reasonable and proper write offs to pay 13%.

Explain what this is. The Democrats are the party of pragmatism right now: sensible demand-side economics, sustainable investment in infrastructure and consumer demand, proper regulation of pollution and predatory economic actions, and the like.

Explain what the Democratic Party is doing that is so ludicrously so as to justify electing a guy who most of you are completely aware is passing policies that hurt everyone to the benefit of a small few.

No one seems to be able to do that. They get mad that the Democrats won't openly say that black protesters are thugs and have nothing to be angry about. They get mad that Democrats don't give a shit when people shit. They just vaguely cite actions by internet activists and guys on twitter pretending to be feminists and say, "WHEN WILL THE DEMOCRATS STOP THIS."
