Originally posted by Ronson View PostIt depends. GW was vilified to no end while in office (and rightly so, IMO) but as soon as he left he went into "low-profile" mode and was greatly ignored by the Left.
If Trump continues to make a big splash, which is his nature, the Left will continue to go after him. If he retires quietly, they will have to find another boogeyman to rally their troops.

Note: This may be his one and only dabble into politics. It's not what he's been aspiring to.

Yeah, the Dems risk making Trump a Martyr, and bringing the wrath of his supporters upon themselves. I don't think they care about that, though, because there's the revenge factor.

He can make a lot more money from speeches, books, and donations if he stays in politics, so it's a good bet that he'll stay in politics.

If he were to die tomorrow Pelosi et al. would likely insist on trying his corpse much like they used to dig up the bodies of people during Medieval times and the Renaissance and try them.
And I'm only half joking. TDS does not allow for rational thought.

Trump supporters can quite possibly take back both the House and the Senate, because the people don't generally like one Party having complete control of the White house and the Congress.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by CivilDiscourse View PostLet's face it. The odds of the democrats successfully impeaching former president trump are slim to none. The odds of them getting 17 republicans to vote to convict won't happen.
What's next?
The 14th amendment was floated before the impeachment, but do you think that a bill of attainder claiming Trump is guilty of insurrection and therefore barred from holding office will be justifiable when the senate just held a trial on the same issue and failed to convict?
The 25th amendment is completely out of the question now, as trump is out of office.
So, after the impeachment likely fails, what is the next step for getting Trump?That's what

It's just something that happens to the president's party at midterms.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
