We are all counting on him to either be impeached or resign before then. Talking about him as a candidate - to me - seems to legitimize him. We're actually contributing to his ego now by talking about him running for a second term.

It's likely not going to happen.

(20,205 posts)Pence would have to go down simultaneously to put Pelosi in as POTUS and I just don't see that happening. More likely, Trump goes down and Pence is installed as POTUS and chooses a new VP, like Nixon chose Gerald Ford after Agnew's resignation. Pence will choose someone squeeky clean, so that if Pence goes down, Mr Squeeky clean will run in 2020.
2019 will be interesting, that's for sure.

(42,770 posts)he will not be elected in 2020.
He barely squeaked by in '16. And - Mueller will diminish him.
You are talking about the biggest elephant in the room - how the media treats this person like a legitimate president. He is not, and he's got one foot in jail.
