That would be amazing. And I can definitely see it happening. He knows when to cut bait and run and given his unpopularity he may just do that.

I don't see him running for a second term. I think he'll do what you said, claim some victory, probably economy, and then go back to the posh lifestyle. I've never seen him as a two termer.

He'll tire of all the winning.

He's 70 years old and has had a great career. But you can only hide those 50 yrs of skeletons in the closet for so long. Who needs this? Plus the WH isn't the Trump penthouse.

Howard Stern was talking about this shortly after the election, and questioned Donald about why he would run and give up his lifestyle for the headache of the job, especially at his age.

I think part of why he ran to begin with was to prove a point to Obama and those that mocked him.

Partisanship aside....I think he LOVED those rally's. He loves the attention, and the glorification of the position.

Maybe this is why we're seeing so many EO's. He knows he doesn't have the stamina to play political football, and just wants to make a big play in the 1st quarter and leave the field with losers limp. Then spend the rest of his life commentating about how bad everyone else is....a political Johnny Miller

I've maintained all along that he ran because Obama humiliated him at the WH Correspondents Dinner the night of the bin Laden raid.

That would be awesome. I think Pence will do a much better job. To be honest, I'd love to see it before the summer.
Duh! There's not much I agree with as far as Pence's politics but at least I'll feel like someone competent is in charge. Pence is a thoughtful, deliberate, mature guy. Relative to Trump, he's Winston Churchill.

He loves the attention and his slipping popularity has to be killing him. Meanwhile Bannon probably pushing for him to prophetically continue his march, but Biff may just give up.

So where do you get that Trump is nothing but Bannon's puppet? You're no better than Perez. Bunch of snowflake creampuffs in the Democratic Party nowadays.

But he calls Trump Biff like most mangina liberals.
Could be worse. He could be the poor sap who thinks it was clever to come up with Trumplethinskin and so much so he keeps repeating it.

Why do you think Bannon is there? You think Biff wrote the political playbook for all this? Really?
