2 Year Trump?
The Washington Post predicts Trump's demise in 2 years. Do you think it will happen, maybe even sooner?
I'm not exactly conservative but I fear if a democrat like Hilary ever got into office this country would cater to foreign oil money and American's would turn into second class citizens... if we haven't already... just my two cents... https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.509fcfe48ecd

What a bsatard prez we had!
How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump’s presidency http://nypost.com/2017/02/11/how-oba...ps-presidency/ When former President Barack Obama said he was “heartened” by anti-Trump protests, he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators — numbering more than 30,000 — who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House. In what’s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn’t just staying behind in Washington. He’s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular “America First” agenda. He’s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you’d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama’s OFA. Rather, it’s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country. Since Donald Trump’s election, this little-known but well-funded protesting arm has beefed up staff and ramped up recruitment of young liberal activists, declaring on its website, “We’re not backing down.” Determined to salvage Obama’s legacy,”it’s drawing battle lines on immigration, ObamaCare, race relations and climate change. Obama is intimately involved in OFA operations and even tweets from the group’s account. In fact, he gave marching orders to OFA foot soldiers following Trump’s upset victory. “It is fine for everybody to feel stressed, sad, discouraged,” he said in a conference call from the White House. “But get over it.” He demanded they “move forward to protect what we’ve accomplished.” Barack Obama’s presidency has been pockmarked by rioting, looting and... “Now is the time for some organizing,” he said. “So don’t mope.” >snip<

It might also be impossible for the Donald to avoid the conflicts of interest that will emerge because he has not separated out his family business interests from his government job. And the ties are getting more obvious each time he gives a family member a role in the administration. Third, it really does look like there might be something to connections between the Russians and his campaign. Needs to be fully investigated. Who knows how far and deep this will go. Doesn't help that Trump acts as if Russian interference in the election is no big deal. Finally, you say that a democrat will "cater to foreign oil interests?" You mean like the Exxon guy who is Trump's Sec of State who wants to undo sanctions and allow Russian oligarchs to siphon off billions? Is it better to cater to domestic fossil fuel interests and relax virtually ALL environmental regulations on them? Coal miners? Really? That's where our energy future lies? And turning the American middle-class into second class citizens? Pay attention. The Wall Street billionaire-guys he appointed to his cabinet and their plans for taxes, healthcare, Social Security and the economy are not exactly designed to benefit us. It is really clear they want to make life much much better for the themselves at the expense of the rest of us. I'm afraid a con man made the American people a bunch of promises that he knew he could never keep. It put some very selfish people in power. The Trump billionaire guys learned their corruption lesson well from the Russian oligarches. And don't you dare respond by telling me about the Clinton corruption. Please, that is such small potatoes compared to what Wall Street, Trump, and the fossil fuel guys have planned.

We have the Donald for 4 probably 8 years and here is why:
The Dems don't seem to understand that the way to get the 18-25 voters who stayed home in 2016 is to fundamentally change what they stand for. They seem out of touch with what is important in this demographic. A third party candidate will emerge with the support of this block. The Dems won't embrace it, (see Saunders) and the vote will be split. Schumer and Pelosi are the ones who will keep The Don in office.
