Liberals ecstatic over this month’s election must not forget: Even after this demagogue is finished, a new one will rise in his place.
For many, if not most, Americans, the only pleasure to be had from Donald Trump’s presidency is to imagine his premature eviction from the White House. Impeachment, the 25th Amendment, pick your poison. My own scenario places Trump on Richard Nixon’s Watergate resignation timetable, fleeing next August to Mar-a-Lago as federal bloodhounds close in on him, his son, or his son-in-law (or all three) and his party’s Vichy regime on the Hill at last mutinies in the face of what could well be an apocalyptic Election Day in 2018.
In private, Steve Bannon reportedly gave Trump only a 30 percent chance of finishing his term, even before Robert Mueller dropped his first indictments. (Bannon has denied saying this.) And there are other fresh signs of an advancing Trump expiration date besides, from the resounding Democratic wins in Virginia and New Jersey on November 7 to the epic failure of the Republican Congress to accomplish anything. But don’t celebrate just yet. Once Trump exits — whenever and however he goes — then what? It’s a continuing liberal blind spot to underestimate the resilience of Trumpism, which, if history is any guide, will easily survive both the crack-up of the GOP and the implosion of the Trump presidency. Whether Trump lasts another three weeks, another three years, or another seven years, our troubles won’t be over when he’s gone. They may well get worse. And by worse, I do not mean Mike Pence, the Koch-brothers tool so feared by liberals because he might be more efficient at bringing America to its knees than his boss.....

Are these jerks delusional?? Or am I? Because I see Trump as being the MOST presidential of anything we’ve had in nearly 30 years.
Ahhhhh.....the New York Times.
They’ll soon be down to one employee and writing stories wondering why they died.
Funny how Rich never took issue with Obama’s creeping fascism and abuse of governmental institutions.
I swear I don’t think the author and I are looking at the same things! WTF?!?
Wake me up when the Civil War starts.
Looks like Frank Rich is betting on it.
And yet despite the claim that another will rise in his place the Dems continue to insist that Trump does not have the support of the people and that their own conduct had nothing to do with Trumps election.
His own scenario also involves squirrels that crap dimes, a butterfly that whispers, and magic mushrooms that play violin music. All part of the colorful, whimsical world of the utterly mad.
Frank Rich is - how can I put this delicately - a moron who seemingly has fallen into the trap of believing his own lies.
Evidently Rich slept through eight years of Obama’s demagoguery, lie after lie after ugly lie, his deliberate fomenting of racial strife instead of working toward harmony, the outright criminality, and the deliberate acts to weaken America and its allies while strengthening America’s enemies, without once noticing any of it.
Now that Trump is President, Frank Rich pretends to be ‘concerned’ about such issues, just like any other phony concern troll. We’re not buying your lies, Frank, ESAD...
After America, do they mean?
Who cares. Once America is gone, there will be no future for anyone on the planet.
Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating right now is higher than that of Reagan’s at the same point in his presidency.
Thank you for that.
Or maybe this is what happens when fRich gets too much tequila and needs to pound out a column at the last minute.
Even though it has been erased from his wiki page, I remember when he got this award and wondered - “Is anyone at the NY Times straight anymore?”
2004 - GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Newspaper Article
This one needs a BARF ALERT.
Double emphasize that. Frank, ESAD.
This is from new York Magazine,not the Times.

Rich is a brainless, liberal jerk.
