Huffpost ^ | 10/17/19 | Ed Mazza

nthony Scaramucci says President Donald Trump’s “meltdown” is going to get a whole lot worse.

On Wednesday night, the former White House communications director who was fired after just 10 days on the job said on CNN that Trump was looking at his future “and the future does not look good for him.”

“As more facts unfold about Syria, as more facts unfold about the people that have been arrested recently, and the conjoinment of all those issues over there, it’s going to be devastating for the president,” he said.

Scaramucci also predicted that Republicans in the Senate will soon turn on Trump and force him out.

“The criminal activity will be so great that the GOP, and there will be 20-plus senators who’ll say, ‘OK, I can’t take this anymore,’” he said.

How many Democrats in the Senate? 47 (including left-leaning independents)? So “twenty” is the exact number for removal. How very convenient a “prediction.”

A perfect opportunity for President Trump to start a
NEW POLITICAL PARTY.

I would certainly go with him.

I don't think the House will vote articles of impeachment. Their whole scenario is collapsing on itself.

McConnell says it's dead in the water if it makes it to the Senate.

We'll see.

Mooch’s wife left him when he went to work for Trump.

Then he was fired.

Then Guilfoyle dumped him for a Trump son.

Removing a President is a political act. It is also potentially a dangerous one. The ground work has to be done way before the final move, removal.

The mood of the American people has to be pessimistic in their outlook, the economy needs to be in down fall, unending wars, and protest in the street, and the President has to appear to be an unsympathetic moron and finally the President has to be separated from his base.

None of those things are true.

Even with 24/7 hate fest against the President, he still has his support.

Try as they might, the economy is improving.

As much as they pretend they want peace, they go crazy when the President removes troops from a combat zone.

The various investigations have gone no where. Even when they have complete control over the investigation they could not manufacture any evidence that would withstand examination.

This recent Ukraine hoax is just a hook to hang even more investigation.

In short, the ground work for successfully removing this President has not been done, yet they seem to want to go ahead with this plan.

They should reconsider because to remove any President is serious business, and to remove a President that is still popular and successful is dangerous.

Middle America is growing tired of 70 years of the left agitation and attacks on their way of life, their beliefs and their culture.

Removal may be the SHOT HEARD AROUND THE WORLD.

LOL...all 20, possibly with the exception of Romney, know that their political careers are OVER the moment they vote to remove Trump.

...so not going to happen - not even close. All they’re doing is having fun instilling fear into a lot of paranoid Trump supporters. It’s fun for them, but stupid of people here to let them (the people claiming Trump will be removed) control our lives.

The half-life of each ad hominem attack against Trump is getting shorter and shorter. Ukraine was barely 3 to 4 weeks. Now returning to the insanity attack—Trump’s emotional “meltdown” over the troop withdrawal—maybe a 2 to 3 week half life??

Exactly my point. Amazing how many RINOs have already bailed now that their gravy train is coming to a halt and an agitated base is demanding they serve their constituency and not their pay masters.

“The Mooch at his finest. I figured people could use a laugh to start off the day.”

I think this was the rat plan all along. Once you turn the number of Senators needed to convict Trump, then you file for articles of impeachment. It is the only way this can get done and Trump’s move on Syria, while commended by the American people won’t play in Washington.

After what I witnessed from Republicans in Congress yesterday, I can believe there are turncoats in the Senate

There’s too much use of personality hate Trump preferences as the excuse for quote, impeachment, unquote. It’s a distraction from the real reason. What should be looked into and brought to public attention is the connection to the corruption used by the swamp creatures Trump would put a screeching halt to. And offered as the real reason why swamp critters are going after Trump.

Federalist—According to Burisma’s website, Joseph Cofer Black (Romney adviser) was appointed in February of 2017 and continues to serve on its board. The timelines would indicate that Black and Biden worked together at Burisma, and indeed, web archives from late 2017 show Black and Biden listed simultaneously on the board.

There may be a Republican senators who vote to convict but I'd put that total in the area of three or four. Nowhere near 20.

Oh, a lot closer to 20 than any of us would like. I just took a quick look at the roster and came up with these 10:

  1. Romney
  2. Alexander
  3. Murkowski
  4. Sasse
  5. Collins
  6. Burr
  7. McSally
  8. Gardner
  9. Rubio
  10. Thune
And I don't trust Cornyn or Toomey to stand up to much pressure.

As Mark Twain would say, “The news of Trump’s demise has been greatly exaggerated....”

Romney has backtracked, last I saw saying Trump is likely to be reelected and took himself out of the will vote to remove category.

Don’t see Rubio joining the darkside.

Collins voted for Kavanaugh.

McSally would be kissing her career goodbye.

The plan is a non-starter. The GOP would be committing political suicide.

Sooner or later the GOP is going to shoot itself in both feet and in the arse and the Going Out of Business Sale will commence. It’s inevitable IMHO.

Scaramucci is a pathetic little figure. I can’t believe anyone ever let him see the inside of the White House.

On your list I’d agree with Romney, just because he’s Romney, and Collins, Gardner, and McSally because they are running for reelection in blue or purple states. But the rest I’m not so sure on. Murkowski and Sasse maybe because they’ve shown independence in the past, hate Trump, and may be prepared to pay the political price. But Burr, Alexander, Rubio, and Thune are in states that are solid red or are red enough make voting for impeachment a risky political move. I don’t see any of them having the backbone to do that.

If that happened and Trump were removed from office, it would be the end of the Republican party.

That would be a big mistake on their part. I hope he’s wrong, but nothing surprises me about GOPe—stupidity reigns often.
