>Trump's presidency is rapidly unraveling In normal US history this would very much be the case. But the question is: are we still on the normal US path or are now following the Erdogan / Orban / Duda / Putin / Maduro trajectory.

Mr. Trump's personal attorney and former National Security Advisor both plead guilty to crimes, and his campaign manager was convicted on 8 counts. I don't think we're on either path of the dilemma you proposed.

  I hope you are right but I will still be feeling a lot better when that's all nailed down in 2020 and we hopefully can return to normality.

    I see Trump's re-election as a done deal at this point (no, I did not vote for him) No potential Democrat has been groomed to fight him and it really looks like they will in fact let Hillary try again. Trump has been tough on China which most Americans favor. Trump has delivered a tax cut most Americans won't want to roll back. Trump has gotten North Korea off the front burner. So have other Presidents like Obama and Clinton....which is good because Americans don't really want to care about North Korea. Trump has been President during a strong economy for housing, stocks and corporate profits. Trump is being tough on immigration which continually polls high with the public...I have never seen a poll conclude Americans want lax immigration laws, ever. Sorry most Americans don't care about the detention stuff either. Immigration continues to confuse Democrats - only Bernie seems to realize a strong social safety net and open borders are mutually exclusive. Downvote away, the next election will blindside you all like the last. Only hope for Democrats is a market collapse.

      As an low-ranking official in the Democratic Party, I'm happy to inform you that literally no one in the party is talking about Hillary Clinton running again.

  However, there's nothing stopping the president or his successor from pardoning them, like Oliver North.
