Will they fight? A hypothetical for discussion
Self | 1-10-2016 | Self

A question I have been pondering for the last two years(OK more like the last 25 years) is "Just what would it take for the Republican party to rise up and fight the Left?'

The nightmare scenario that keeps haunting me is that Hillary loses in November and Obama just refuses to leave office. He has shredded all the other parts of the Constitution so I don't think this is all that far fetched.

I don't think it is all that far fetched that the Republican establishment would roll over and play dead at this either -- Particularly if the winning candidate is someone unpalatable to the GOP establishment.

Everyone is too afraid of chaos to risk even a taste of revolutionary change.

So, and I think this is the question we have been getting to, Just What will it take to overcome that fear?

“Just What will it take to overcome that fear?”

It will take electing someone who is not afraid and not running for reelection. Someone who isn’t afraid to play by the same rules that demodogs use and openly scorns rather than works with them. Someone who is, if needed will to rule by decree as Obama has but to restore the US rather than destroy it.

It depends on the allegiance of the Secret Service Agents on hand at the time.
Once the Newly elected President is sworn into office, the SS Agents' oath is to the Constitution, and not to the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF defying that Constitution.

The very premises is absurd. The R party is the Left also.

A few examples. Clinton Crime Co. went unpunished for murdering 80 US men women and children, most by burning alive. W did nothing

W willingly and knowingly surrendered the office to a known Indonesian mudslime. W still is silent on this violation of oath.

Sandy Burglar was caught red handed stealing 911 secret docs DURING the 911 hearings. Spaghetti slap on the wrist.

They wont fight their own kind.

"The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed—where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once."

Can't figure out why the Republicans would go along with President-for-Life Obama. If he achieved that level of power, he wouldn't need Congress any more, and would move to eliminate any potential rivals (Democrats, too).

Of course, there might be some Congressmen stupid enough to think they could deal with him...

Oh please. Obama can’t wait until he can call the shots from Hawaii. He’ll drag Hillary over the finish line in exchange for not prosecuting her.

The stakes are much higher for Hillary than any Republican. She has to win, or she’ll go to prison.

I think it happens when a real president is supposed to be sworn in, whether or not Obama wants to permit elections or an Inauguration. At noon on January 20, 2017, if Obama is not leaving voluntarily, I assume one or more Secret Service agents will "explain" to the communist that he is no longer Community-Organizer-in-Chief and it is time to go.

If they had any guts, they;d take the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF into custody and try him for TREASON !

The Secret Service does not have the authority to take the traitor into custody. Impeachment and removal from office are congressional responsibilities, and our GOP establishment has abdicated those duties. I agree with the GOPe on the one narrow question of impeachment, since the democrats would do what they did with Clinton - protect a criminal to score political points. However, the GOPe won't even use their power of the purse to restrain the drug-addled socialist, and that is unacceptable.

If the newly sworn it President tells them to "Take them ( the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY ) into custody", they must DO IT !

Yes, but once the traitor is out of office, the most important thing is to repeal his entire legacy. If we don’t (at least initially) give the far left a martyr to rally around, we have a better chance of doing the critical substantive things that are essential for America’s survival.

His fangs will be drawn once he is out of our White House, so the real president’s most urgent duty, starting January 20, 2017, will be to repair the damage. I am praying for a complete repeal, with nothing left other than $10T in debt that will burden our children and grandchildren. That’s a heavy price but far better than that dept plus the collapse of America.

We need to set a very good example for the rest of the country.
Public execution for both of them, to put FEAR into the hearts of the others.

A few months back Rush came up with a scenario, if my memory is correct it went something like this:

obama would decide to run for another term, the Republicans would just let him, and put up their own GOPe loser. He’d wind up with a 3rd term.

My opinion, the GOPe would do nothing except rattle their sabers, then roll over and play dead like they do now.

If obama wants to be prez for life, only CWII or a military coup would stop it.

Anyone really think that enough secretaries-of-state would put Obama on their ballots for an unconstitutional third term to get an electoral majority? Seriously?

These aren’t my own thoughts, but I think our own Travis McGee has a plausible scenario:

So, how close to this, are we now?

They won’t fight until the car bombs start going off, and Paris attacks are a daily event.

But their leaders will just try to surrender.
