Agreed, and I think we heard the same talk regarding President Obama not so many years ago.  Wishful thinking at best.  The only thing that disappoints me about the 22nd Amendment is that it did not also cover Senators and Representatives in limiting their terms as well.

 

   Hard to see them voting to restrict their own term limits. However it does bring to mind another reason they wouldn't necessarily support an increase in the term limits for the sitting president. A lot of them, senators especially have their own sights set on the oval office.

I agree, not going to happen either repealing the 22nd, or adding term limits to other federal elected officials.  It is interesting to see the same discussion we saw 3-4 years ago, and if memory serves, it was also briefly discussed relative to Bill Clinton.  I don’t remember anyone discussing it relative to “W”.

Tulsi Gabbard might end up being the first woman president.

Not if you keep deleting her pics from the site, she won’t.   She needs more interwebz exposure!

I am just curious, do the Leftists think that impeachment nullifies 2016?

I've read articles (not recently) with claims that a surprisingly high percentage of people think that impeaching/removing Trump automatically makes Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit the president.

I know it won't happen, but it would be interesting to see those folks reaction with President Trump being removed and Pence taking the oath of office.

 

Btw, Adam "pencilneck" Schiff has to be the most humorless person in Washington.  It is amazing how fast all this stuff is crumbling around him and the Dems.  I wonder if they thought the president would continue to stonewall?  I am also hearing more mainstream media types starting to question the validity of the supposed "whistleblower".  I was hoping @elmcitymavenwould respond as to if this fits into the whistleblower law.  Many legal pundits seem to think no since the President is not a member of the intelligence community, and the supposed whistleblower did not have firsthand knowledge.

I have heard people recently (this week) talk pretty much the same way. They are usually full of TDS and can't be bothered with facts though

The Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint looks just like ‘Steele Dossier 2.0’

An old adage holds that while history doesn’t repeat itself, it rhymes. Not so in the case of the latest manufactured anti-Trump “scandal.” The anonymous whistleblower’s allegations of corruption involving President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, appear to be a note-for-note reproduction of the discredited “dossier” of 2016.

The template for a coordinated media and intelligence community hit against the president was first perfected in the dossier. British ex-spook Christopher Steele compiled the bogus allegations at the behest of the Democrats. Yet it formed the basis for secret wiretaps, human informants and a sprawling, multi-year special-counsel probe of the president.

Liberals presented Steele as an operative with impeccable credentials and a deep network of Russian sources. His reports, we were told, set a gold standard for intelligence, so much so that the FBI regularly relied on his counsel. His claims found immediate purchase in the highest circles of American journalism — until they were utterly debunked along with the whole “collusion” theory.

Sound familiar?

I think impeachment, especially impeachment at this point is a big mistake, unless, miraculously "Nixon Tapes" scenario unfolds, and they actually find something more substantial on "Trump Server" then Zelenskiy memo. Besides, even if it does happen, I, personally, am against it as I find VP Pence to be a lot less palatable than President Trump. Though I imagine Pence will be a lot easier to uproot in a year or so.

Exactly.... some of the far Leftists people I talk to have no response to this at all, even though they hate Pence far more than Trump. Some people think that this issue will swallow up Pence as well.

Ponder this.  Doesn’t matter what your political leanings are.

 

The transcripts of Trump’s phone call with the Ukranian president have already been released. 

 

But back in Benghazi, four Americans died because they were denied the support they needed.  And we have never seen either the Obama nor the Clinton transcripts.
