The way forward -

ignore Trump.      Do not pay any attention to him until
the bill is ready to be signed.      Work out the bill
between the Senate and House and Republicans and Democrats,
throw in a nominal concession that Trump can brag about,
then let him sign it.

And thus get on with the people's business.

Another reliable Trump cheerleader chimes in.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/opinions/wp/2018/12/24/the-vice-president-should-be-preparing-for-the-worst/

Rogers doesn't say it explicitly, but one might infer
that he means that Pence should be ready to govern at
any moment as a result of resignation or impeachment or
25th amendment.    A Republican intervention is required -

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/24/opinion/impeach-fire-president-trump.html

The timing of those events is critical for Republicans.
The Democrats are probably calculating how to play them
for the best advantage in 2020.

 https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/771447813199740

It would take about 20 Republican votes in the Senate
to convict and remove after impeachment in the House.
Judging from the Nixon example, it's not likely to be
a case of having 10 votes one week and 11 the next.
More likely it will be 10 one day and 30 the next -
Mitch McConnell will insist that the Democrats don't have
the votes, right up until the day that he shows up at the
White House with Pence and a Supreme Court justice on call.
That same day Trump resigns, President Pence is sworn in,
and Pence pardons Trump.       Not because Trump deserves
it, but because the nation needs to move on as quickly
as possible.

If Pence becomes president, Democrats will just have to
make the best of it.  Being reactionary is not grounds
for impeachment or 25th amendment.  That's why Democrats
might prefer to defer Trump impeachment proceedings until
the 2020 primary/convention season, and that's also why
the Republicans would decide, if it's going to happen,
better impeach Trump sooner than later.

Remembering Nixon's last days

"In mid-July of 1974, President Richard Nixon could
still count on virtually every conservative Republican in
Congress to oppose his impeachment and removal, even if
they weren’t exactly thrilled with him. By early August,
he had only a handful of supporters remaining. That’s not
to say that Trump’s support will necessarily evaporate
— just that if it does, it could happen extremely
quickly, perhaps in days."

Self-serving opportunistic politicians do believe in
herd immunity.        If the herd decides that they'd be
better off with President Pence - almost all of them will
change almost overnight.

Democrats, oddly, might prefer to keep Trump as a punching
bag until 2020, rather than allow a President Pence lots
of time to reconcile and consolidate the traditional
Republican constituencies  while trying to find a way to
keep the Trumpists in the tent.

We might find out whether Trump can pardon himself

 https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/andrew-c-mccarthy-why-trump-is-likely-to-be-indicted-by-manhattan-us-attorney

and maybe whether he can pardon Roger Stone who's pleading
the Fifth - not because he's guilty, of course!

 https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/_cache/files/f/e/fe389cd2-53ff-4377-a9a9-45fb5f18b559/D12E

The case against Trump: character

Depending on how today's election turns out, Trump might be
impeached in the new House but not convicted in the Senate.
It's hard to imagine what new high crimes and misdemeanors
could be so shocking, compared to what we already know,
that they would change the minds of 15-20 Republican
Senators necessary for conviction amd removal, who have
already fully committed to Trump - and would thus admit
that they were either fools or co-conspirators all along.
Of course, as self-serving opportunists like Trump, they'd
turn on him overnight if they thought it in their interest.
There is no love lost between them; he's insulted them
all at one point or another.  But Fox is there to make
sure they don't flip on Trump -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/11/06/why-trumps-unpopularity-may-not-be-handicap-youd-expect/

John Dean says Nixon might have survived if Fox had been
there to protect him.

Likewise it's hard to imagine Pence and the Trump cabinet
invoking the 25th Amendment - that would tell as much
about them as about Trump.

The case against Trump - and by extension his enablers -
comes down to something more serious - CHARACTER.

1) Trump is a salesman first and foremost.  He tells his
supporters what they want to hear and what he wants them
to hear, not what they need to hear.   Would you buy a
used car, a penny stock, a cable or cell phone plan, or
a college degree based on Trump's promises?  Trust him
alone with your daughter?

2) Trump addresses the feelings of his supporters by
telling the truth about his own feelings.  The only truth
he cares about is the truth of his feelings.    Like other
authoritarians and would-be authoritarians, he rejects
out of hand the idea that there is an external objective
reality against which his feelings might be compared.
He never admits to being wrong and never apologizes for
mistakes, which means he never learns anything, even when
he changes course 180 degrees.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/when-i-can-i-tell-the-truth-trump-pushes-back-against-his-peddling-of-falsehoods/2018/11/01/e8278d68-ddbe-11e8-85df-7a6b4d25cfbb_story.html

His supporters says that Trump "tells it like it
is."     This is nonsense.  When Trump is in salesman
mode, he tells his audience what they want to hear.
When he is in venting mode, he tells his audience what
he feels.  Neither is necessarily connected to objective
external reality.

3) Trump can't move beyond his shrinking base and doesn't
even want to.  He'd much rather have an exciting rally
with his permanent supporters than reach out to former
supporters and potential supporters.   He's not interested
in the widest possible Republican tent, only the most
enthusiastic Trumpist tent.    That means, to support their
continuing minority rule, the rest of the Republicans have
to double down on voter suppression, gerrymandering, big
dark campaign money, and creating a politicized Federal
judiciary to support those efforts.

4) Trump promises his supporters one thing and delivers
another.  His talking points are for the forgotten
Americans, but his actions are for the billionaire
Republican donors, on deregulation relief, taxation relief,
and immigration non-reform.  He talked about e-verify on
the campaign trail but dropped it when he learned how his
donors feel.   He imposes tariffs that transfer wealth
from one set of Americans to another more favored one -
that's called Welfare.  And whatever happened to the
massive infrastructure plan that the Democrats were so
eager to cooperate on?

5) Trump recognizes no debt to the past or to his
predecessors, and no obligation to the future or his
successors.  He stands on nobody's shoulders and lets
nobody stand on his.

"One sows and another reaps" - Trump takes
credit for the economic recovery begun in 2009 against
all Republican obstacles.  Does anybody believe he will
accept any responsibility for the inevitable recession
that follows every recovery, or for the inflation caused
by deficit spending at the top of a recovery, or for the
debt service cost later?  Not his problem as long as it
happens after 2020.

6) Trump attracts self-serving opportunists to government
service.  A self-serving opportunist at the top sets the
tone all the way down.  He can't keep up with the pressure
to fill appointed positions, or to refill positions vacated
by his cronies who just can't seem to master government
ethics, or just don't care, or expect to be pardoned
if caught.

7) Trump does not believe in self-restraint.  He rejects
that idea running in Western literature from Calchas
telling Agamemnon that the supreme leader has to make the
supreme sacrifice - his daughter, to Wotan the supreme
god complaining that he is the least free of all men.
Much as Trump would prefer to be king, his model is Louis
XIV rather than the servant king or the model described
by Lao Tzu -

A leader is best when people barely know he exists;
when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say:
"We did it ourselves."

8) Trump claims that there's nothing to be learned from
his tax returns or audited financials or investigation
of his campaign's Russian contacts.  And so he refuses to
release any information about his financials and threatens
to shut down Mueller's investigation - just what one would
expect if there IS something to be learned.    In contrast,
Mike Pence's tax returns have been public since before
the 2016 election and, sure enough, there is nothing to
learn and nothing to talk about there.

==

What happens after today's election?

1) There will be even more reorg than usual in the Trump
administration.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-administration-prepares-for-massive-shake-up-after-midterms/2018/11/04/dd6ad432-dded-11e8-b732-3c72cbf131f2_story.html

Anybody that has thwarted his impulses is apt to be
relieved of their duties, starting with Sessions,
Rosenstein, and Mueller.

2) Judge O'Connor will issue his ruling on the  Republican
lawsuit to abolish Obamacare -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2018/11/06/trumps-hilarious-obamacare-gaffe-reveals-the-gop-bind-on-health-care/

3) The final results of the Mueller investigation will
probably come to light anyway, with more indictments for
Trump campaigners - Roger Stone looks like a particularly
good bet.

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/two-more-associates-of-roger-stone-testify-before-mueller-grand-jury/2018/11/06/cb9637d0-e1ec-11e8-ab2c-b31dcd53ca6b_story.html

Trump might respond that they had little role or none in
his campaign, but might pardon any of them that can keep
their mouths shut.

4) Most interesting is whether anything comes of the income
and estate tax investigations by New York state and New
York city.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/04/us/politics/donald-trump-fred-trump-tax-schemes.html

The New York Times reported criminally fraudulent behavior
in the estate planning of Fred Trump for his heirs.
The Federal criminal statute of limitations has expired for
that time period, but New York law for criminal and civil
investigations might be different, and the same threads
might be followed into more recent years for which the
statute of limitations has not expired.     Trump might
respond that his lawyers and accountants were responsible,
not him, but he can't pardon them for civil matters nor
state criminal offenses.

==

The Democrats are unlikely to bother to impeach Trump until
2020, since the Republican Senate won't vote to convict,
and even if it did, the Democrats might not want to deal
with a President Pence for very long, since he would be
much more effective than Trump at pushing a reactionary
agenda through Congress, and would provide many fewer
incendiary moments for  Democratic campaign fuel.

If the Senate does eventually turn on Trump - as it might
after the 2020 election - Pence should offer Trump a pardon
in exchange for prompt resignation.  Not because Trump
deserves it, but because the nation deserves a quick exit.

Trump's genius - focusing on problems with no simple
solutions

Those kinds of problems will still be around next year
and in 2020.  That's one kind of recycling he endorses!
The last thing he'd want to do is solve them, if he
knew how.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/02/opinion/democrats-midterms-winning-trump.html

Republicans in contested elections want him to talk about
the economy.  Trump will have none of it.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/02/us/politics/immigration-economy-republicans-trump-midterms.html

Perhaps he's aware that a recession is overdue and he
wants to keep the conversation focussed elsewhere.

 https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/02/upshot/the-job-market-is-firing-on-all-cylinders-three-questions-will-determine-how-long-it-can-last.html

Perhaps he understands that income inequality breeds
resentment and racism.  From that point of view,
maintaining or even exacerbating income inequality feeds
his larger purpose.

Who needs a caravan right now?

 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/soros-caravan-refugees/

Although it makes no sense - funding immigrant caravans
doesn't fit in with his philanthropies -

 https://www.opensocietyfoundations.org/

there's no issue that the far right won't link to George
Soros, sometimes with deadly intent -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/23/explosive-device-found-residence-george-soros-liberal-philanthropist-target-far-right/

But with control of Congress hanging by a thread in a
couple of weeks -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/battleground-house-districts-remain-close-in-new-poll/2018/10/22/e6c77a32-d63e-11e8-aeb7-ddcad4a0a54e_story.html

the Trumpists have discarded their losing talking points
about repealing Obamacare and billionaire tax cuts in
favor of creating hysteria about illegal immigration -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-and-republicans-settle-on-fear--and-falsehoods--as-a-midterm-strategy/2018/10/22/1ebbf222-d614-11e8-a10f-b51546b10756_story.html

But as usual, the Trumpists only want to talk about illegal
immigration, they don't really want to do anything about
it.    Their politicians need the issue, and their donors
need the supply of cheap exploitable labor to do jobs
that Americans won't touch at the wages they want to pay,
especially with full employment.  So they block any actual
solutions, whether bipartisan efforts at comprehensive
immigration reform at home, or aid to the the troubled
countries whence the migrants flee.

 http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/columnists/michael-smolens/sd-me-smolens-immigration-20180627-story.html

So who really has a vested interest in promoting publicity
about immigrant caravans?   They've been going on for a
while - as protection against criminals and corrupt cops
along the way - but they weren't such a big deal until
Trump gave them worldwide publicity and actually ended up
encouraging them - the current caravan is gaining numbers
due to the publicity.

 https://thehill.com/latino/412564-migrant-caravan-numbers-tops-7500-should-reach-us-in-a-week-report

And if anybody actually were paying migrants to participate
- wouldn't it be somebody with an interest is having a
big show right before the election?  Some dirty trickster
among Roger Stone's confederates, or some foreign power
with an interest in promoting Trumpism and disruption?

"Luck comes to the skillful" - and just like the
DNC emails, Trump always seems to get lucky help just when
he needs it - leaving only the question of who provides
the skill.

Or maybe it was just luck - Barry Bennett, a former Trump
campaign adviser, described the caravan as “a political
gift.”  “I wish they were carrying heroin. I wish
we had thought of it. It speaks to the dearth of our
creativity, unfortunately,” Bennett said.

Whatever happened to the quaint idea that leaders should
be role models for youth?

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/10/23/president-says-its-ok-grab-women-by-their-private-parts-man-accused-groping-woman-flight-invokes-trump/

If celebrity entertainers and athletes think they can get
away with anything, they'll carry the same mindset if they
should happen to be elected to high office.

Who's going to be the first to shoot somebody on Fifth
Avenue and claim the modern version of the Dan White
Twinkie defense?

 http://www.political-scrapbook.net/trump.html#Second%20Trump%20Constituency

50 years ago, polls showed that most American women would
like it if their sons became President, but most American
women would not like it if their sons became politicians.
Those moms were unclear on the concept of the President's
jobs.       Even so, one wonders how many Trump-supporting
women would like their sons to grow up to be just like him.

Look how he grew -

 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/after-selling-off-his-fathers-properties-trump-embraced-unorthodox-strategies-to-expand-his-empire/2018/10/08/2179a12e-c806-11e8-9b1c-a90f1daae309_story.html

So everybody is curious about Trump tax returns and his
relationship to Deutsche Bank and other foreign interests.

And it's obvious now that the reason students got mad
enough to sue Trump U was that it wasn't revealing any of
the REAL reasons for Trump's wealth.
