Do you want Trump to be able to finish his term in office? POLL

[Mountainmanbob]

Although rough-around-the-edges my hopes are that Trump can finish this term and have a second. Don't laugh --maybe he is lacking in some areas but, overall the Country seems to be heading in a good direction.

Please feel free to answer the poll question asked and explain why.

A blessed day wished for all from up top the mountain.

Oh yes, and a second term too, please . He's doing the right thing on taxes, trade and foreign policy (DPRK, Iran, etc.).

 

[Hazelelponi]

while I don't like his Syrian policy, at all, at all and thats being nice about it, he is doing everything (else) I wanted from him as president... I'm happy with the job he's doing (taxes, trade, etc.) and I would vote for him again.

 

[grasping the after wind]

I won't commit to a second term. It is too early for that and I don't know what other alternatives might be available. But I certainly find his actions on policy have been more positive than negative up to this point. I can find no reason whatsoever for him not to continue in office for the remainder of his term.

Get him out. Pence isn't knitting with one needle like Trump.

I think President Trump is deeply unqualified to be president. But in a democracy, the way to correct such a situation is through the electoral process. He should finish his term, and then be replaced by someone more qualified at the next election. (Note that the replacement could be a mainstream Republican who successfully challenges him in the Republican primary. At this point, I'm more interested in electing a stable person with a good resume, than I am in having a president of my own party.)

Pence was not elected to be President.

 

[Yarddog]

Pence was not elected to be President.

And??? A minority of the people elected a man who couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

If Trump could win the Republican nomination in 2016 , there is no reason some other Republican could not win that party's nomination in 2020. Of course there is no reason to assume that any person winning a party nomination would necessarily be an improvement over Trump and there is always the distinct possibility that such a person would be a worse President, even should that person be a better human being. Stable people, with or without good resumes( I would be interested to know what you think a good resume for the position of President would contain) don't often win party political nominations. Stable people are not likely to want to become President. As for qualifications there are very few. Must be a citizen and at least 35 years of age. So Trump was and remains qualified.

I knew he was in his third marriage and one of his wives had accused him of rape. When the Access Hollywood tape surfaced, I knew he was sexually immoral and unstable. His staff is trying to keep him in line with great difficulty and at risk of losing their jobs. At this point I do not trust him and could support him for a second term. I do not have enough votes to impeach him.

Nixon tried tariffs. He alienated some of your allies. We got years of high inflation from his presidency until the early 80's.

It is sad that his only qualifications are being born a citizen and of age.

And??? A minority of the people elected an idiot.

Every President of the US in my lifetime has been elected by a minority of eligible voters. More than two by a minority of those that actually cast votes. Are you proposing that an even smaller minority of people should be able to overturn the results of a completely legal election? BTW I believe that calling someone an idiot is not allowed under the CF flaming guidelines.

Why? Those are the qualifications. All the others also met those qualifications and I don't find it sad that those were the only ones they had.

 

[Petros2015]

I haven't seen any concrete reason presented yet why he shouldn't be allowed to finish his current term (though it is possible that some may be forthcoming). As to what could or should come next, that depends entirely on the character of the candidates that are put up against him for his second term.

Indeed he is, against all kinds of odds and attacked on every side, as a ship on a very stormy sea, arrows comin' at him from ev'ry direction. God HELP us.

"Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake." ~Isaiah 54:15

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord." ~Isaiah 54:17

Praying this (you BET'CHA i'm praying...God HELP us):

Steady as she goes.

Stay the course, Mr. President.

Praying.

If he runs for a second term. Nothing in the future is known before it happens. As for the character of those that might be available in the 2020 field, I find myself skeptical that there will be any paragons but maybe the process will be miraculously changed in order to elect the polar opposite of what we are used to?

It wouldn't be a minority. It would take a 2/3's super majority vote from the Senate to remove him from office.

I believe that flaming would be one member against another.

One would like to think that the leader of a nation had some qualifications other than age and being born a citizen. But then the same document which gave those two items also gave several for how to remove an unqualified person.

It applies to those in office and government as well, according to the TOS of CF.

Hmmm, I'll have to figure out another term to describe him that doesn't break the rules. Thanks.
