        Think it's Alabama/Moore related. Governor cited SCOTUS picks as reason for holding her nose and supporting the molester.

        This must incorporate the theory that Pence goes down with Trump. Otherwise, doesn’t really make sense.

        What do you mean? Trump will be president for at least 1 term and depending on 2020, 2 terms. There are at least 2 Justices either retiring or dying within that time.

        I can't predict future My hunch tho is along these lines👇🏽 Impeached (or resigning) by frantic Republicans trying to save their house majority in 2018, or by the Dems in 2019http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/06/frank-rich-nixon-trump-and-how-a-presidency-ends.html …

        Those are scenarios but Trump is popular with GOP voters in most states with a 90% or higher approval rating. GOP trying to impeach Trump to save 2018 will cost them 2020.

        While I think Dems might win a lot of seats in the House, I do not think they will get a majority. Same with the Senate. Also most Americans already think the Russian investigation is hurting the country. I doubt many at the end of the day would support an impeachment.

        Most presidents start up high and end low. Most will also get a second term despite their polling numbers dropping.
