I think if you look at Trump’s record you’ll find that he sometimes changes his position on things.

That doesn’t mean he’ll run, just that he wants to fundraise.

The other way to interpret that is that it allows him to continue billing his “campaign” for use of trump resources. Remember when he said he could actually make money running for president.
It certainly seems like he is way more into campaigning than serving.
I don’t know, he could easily change his mind in the next 4 years. He could even change it twice, resign in a huff and still run for re-election in 2020. Or be impeached, pardoned by Pence ala Ford/Nixon, then run a primary challenge against Pence in 2020. Not that I think these things are likely, I am just not willing to consider any action so outlandish that Trump couldn’t possibly do it.

Well, I think the congressional republicans would love to impeach Trump. Pence is the kind of guy they want in charge: he fires up the conservative Christians, and lets them do whatever they want – which is cut taxes on the rich, and provide corporate wellfare to their donors. But if they do that, the trump supporters are going to go ballistic. So they need something that at least looks so bad that everyone but the most hard core trump supporters will accept. And that probably means they need a lot of the right wing media to go along with it. If you have fox news commentators saying “taking bribes from the russian government is bad”, then he is out. If they are saying “that is just smart business”, the republican congressmen are just going to wait it out.
Ok Very interesting Mr. Heck. Well said and understood. Even eloquent and very lucid I might say. But without any evidentuary tributaries that goes across many Industrial Complexes @Kaibeezy is always going to be able to present his theory, which also has no evidence as being just as credible. Does anybody have any links or suggetions on where I might find such data. No big deal either, I’m just curious. Of course I’m human and I would be interested in other viewpoints or understandings as well.
It’s a concept from Turkish politics:
More abstractly it’s a ideological framework for discussing why elected governments persistently ignore certain popular sentiments and seem to have a secret motive for doing so.
