You do realize that a) impeachment does not mean you automatically are out of office (i.e. Clinton was impeached), b) you have to do impeachment proceedings SEPARATELY for each, c) it takes time (and proof) to do so. and finally c) Pelosi is NOT in the line of succession....

Right?

I was on my phone so I was being brief. It would require removal of course. And if Pelosi becomes Speaker, which she likely will, then she is in the line of succession.

If they removed Trump, Pence gets to pick a VP. The office doesn't just remain open.

It depends on the amount of time open between them. Simultaneous impeachment proceedings of both, could get both removed before they could take any official action.

Notice all the red states that had to fight for their gains and the very close races. In middle american suburbs.
That says something too.

WELL, good luck running that simultaneous impeachment through Congress. Only need 27-25 Republican Senators to roll over and agree to give the Presidency to Pelosi for the unknown crimes of Trump and Pence.
Good luck!

They want to pull an impeachment of Trump admin not because they hate him but want to take back as revenge agaisnt Clinton impeachment in the 90s by the Republicans.

The American Liberals are little children.

saved us from the Dark Ages

Ah yes saving Europeans you mean by like how they were invading with the Ottoman Empire? trying to force Islam upon Europeans? and sold white European people as slaves in Africa? and Middle East?

Islam did not Save Europe. Europeans saved themselves. I guess when white Europeans became a complete minority in their Europe in a few short years would you call it then saving us?


In Germany the Turkish population is already around 2 million or and in short few years that would jump to 10. Making Germans a minority in their own country.

That's just like Christian invasion of "barbaric" Europe, slaughtering people during crusades and stealing their "pagan" traditions that keep today's stores closed on "christian holiday". What about North and South America?
Millions were killed, the ancient texts were burnt, old traditions such as high respect for homosexuality were tried to be erased. I'd want to see both of those religions put into the cage and wait till they kill each other. One by one.

Republicans won 50.3% of the vote in North Carolina. They won 10 of 13 seats in statewide races.

And you know this 'fact' how? Or are you pulling a 'Trump' and stating opinion as fact? Or are you just so wicked smart and clairvoyant that, like Trump, you 'know things that other people don't'?

If they want Republicans to jump ship, they're not impeaching Pence

LOL republicans lost the house! So much for that red wave, LOL! Obviously people are sick of the BS and next time the Senate flips too.

Someone's a bit late to the party, hehe...(above)

Not as likely as you may think. There are a lot of Dems who want NEW leadership.

You really are honestly presuming this dream scenario of yours, aren't you?

Oh well, as the Dread Pirate Roberts would say, "Get used to disappointment...."

To be fair, the party in the White House historically loses an average of 30 house seats during mid term elections (closer to 25 since the 1930s). This mid-tern was a little above average with 38 seats changing hands. It is extremely common for the party in power to lose seats, but it isn't always a "wave election". The question is "how many lost seats many lost seats makes it a wave election".

So since seat losses are the norm here, it might be difficult to call this a "blue wave" referendum on Trumps policies, or to claim that this shows people are definitely "sick of this BS" -- just like it would be difficult to call the 2010 mid-terms a referendum on President Obama's policies when the Republicans gained even more than the Dems did this time.

Ballotpedia (a website that tracks such trends) is stopping short of calling this 2018 mid-term a "blue wave" and instead just sees it as a normal mid-term change.

wrong forum

Double post (damn....I can't do anything right today )

Average turnover for the party with an administration sub-.500 approval is 40 seats. With Trump well below that is the reason Dems were talking about picking up 50-60 seats a few months ago. The GOP bled 38(-ish) seats, which is pretty much norm under those conditions. A little under average.

Both sides are claiming moral victories. *shrug*

So... more of a Pink Wave, then?

Nope. It's because we think he's a serial liar, dishonest, and has absolutely no clue what he's doing and is suggesting things that are very unconstitutional, including "president for life."

We think he's a nutball loose canon. Forget the "revenge for Clinton" angle. That's way old news.
