    Based on Trump's behavior.....

    do you see him lasting a full four years? This is a serious, non-snarky question. I'll go first and no surprise, I just can't see him lasting a four year term, at least without some kind of tempering and alteration of his speech and manners. I realize that with the GOP controlling the House and the Senate, this is in Trump's favor as far as holding onto power, but I'm wondering if the GOP is already thinking ahead to 2018 and a potential decline in power due to losing House and Senate seats? What do you'all think? Rob

    What does "last a full four years" mean? Are you contemplating him resigning, or having a medical issue, or...?

    I'm thinking more along the lines of impeachment, or possibly resigning if he doesn't get his way. Rob

    I know I've asked this here before without receiving a response but I'll try again. What high crimes or misdemeanors do you see happening to justify an impeachment?

    I don't know at this point, Alan. I'm just asking what folks here think - do they see Trump lasting the full four years of office or not, based on his behaviors? Who knows what his next action/actions will be? Rob

    So it's more wishful thinking? I wouldn't be at all surprised if an effort isn't made to initiate impeachment, but it will have to be based on something more than a personality conflict.

    What specific charges do you envision him being impeached for?

    At this point it would seem likely, or at least plausible, that he's in violation of the emoluments clause, although who knows to what extent, since he won't release his taxes or anything else detailing just what his financial entanglements are. But in any case I certainly don't see the current congress worrying about this in the least.
