It's Draft Time: Impeachment Edition

By that time Trump’s presence in the White House could mean vast GOP losses. At the rate things are going now, I’d wager that congressional Republicans will find a way to impeach him within the year.

What do you think?

I won't say within the year, but I have already made it clear I think he won't make four years.

Adding to the intelligence scandal is his inability to work with his own Congress as his polls drop to historic lows for a president in his honeymoon phase with Congress.

The weekly unforced errors continue to add up. Publicly Republicans will want to speak of Trump's "style" and new way of doing things which by god won him the election, but privately they see the liability of a president who cannot come to Congress with close knowledge of the bills and policies he is supposedly stumping for.

It is possible that serious foreign policy misstep which costs American lives will be the catalyst. He hasn't been talking about ISIS lately, and he promised he wouldn't telegraph any strikes. Something maybe in the offing there, or he may want to force something that Mattis and the DOD resist--another fail.

I am still puzzled that so many people think that if their team doesn't make the playoffs every year, then they couldn't do any worse by hiring a head coach who has never played or coached football, but was really great as director of the stadium concessions.  If he is making bad trades and replacing good offensive and defensive coaches with friends and family, and engaging in late-night tweet wars with angry fans and players from other teams, we still need to wait till the season actually starts before we criticize him. Some even speak as if he'll not only last out his contract but get a four year extension because he keeps saying they'll be so tired of winning . . . .
