He will go DOWN, with the rest of the criminal traitors.

Carter got 50.1% of the vote Nationwide. But his 297 - 240 electoral win is pretty narrow by Electoral College standards.

For instance, a shift of less than 4,000 votes in Hawaii plus a shift of 5500 votes in Ohio would have given Ford the Electoral College victory. And that was after pardoning Nixon and declaring that the Soviets didn't dominate Eastern Europe during one of the debates.

So yes, pretty darn close. Maybe by a hair is an exaggeration. But considering he came back from a 33 point deficit in the polls during the summer, that's a pretty good showing

then Nixon quit and he became POTUS without being elected.

To me that was like winning the powerball.

Without the pardon, he would have won in 1976.

Likewise, Pence is tainted by Trump's scandals. He may become President when Trumpy is forced to resign, but Pence will never win reelection.

WIN! Look that up again Sogol
He had no chance
Carter (a wonderful man) ran a weak campaign and won easily
I was there!

anyone would have won. That's my point and what will happen to Pence.

....and then President resigned.

Funny thing, in this administration in only four months is more corrupt than that one was in five or six years!

If he becomes president after January 20th 2018 (correction: 2019), he is eligible to be elected twice, in office till January 2029.

But that won't happen.

He would have been president for more than 8 years. He became president in 1963 after the JFK assassination.

I remember the speech he gave on tv where he announced that he was not running.

...after those elected in the 1962 midterms had taken office. Had JFK been assassinated in November of 1962, LBJ could only have run one more time, and would have been ineligible in 1968.

You can find his speech on YouTube, see https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lbj+speech+i+shall+not+seek

Why would he announce that he decided not to run if he were not eligible?

Johnson was eligible to run twice because he served less than two years of Kennedy's term.

The 22nd Amendment provides: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

The 22nd Amendment was pushed through by Republicans frustrated by FDR's quadruple election victories. It came back to bite them when their hero Reagan was term limited ...

Trump took office January 20 2017

will fix it.

It sure seems like it's been more than a year since he took office.

That's quite a feat for a Republican. He's a buffoon. He's not ever going to win a national election. He'd get traditional Republicans but Trump loyalists will HATE him. No path to victory with those numbers.

no pun intended

IMO the ones deluding themselves that Donald is a Christian would have a true "Christian" (at least to their taste) with Pence.

They are part of the 30% of the electorate that Pence or anyone with an R behind his name would have. You can't win with 30%. There's another 10-15% that were and are "Trump guys". They are the ones with the red trucker caps. They also include the alt-right "Paul Ryan is a cuck" crowd. Those people love Trump way more than they love the Party. Pence won't have those people. Assuming Pence makes it through the scandal unscathed, they will see him as a traitor to Trump. For everyone else, he will be seen as a simpleton. Because he is an idiot.

Thanks.

Your predictive powers never disappoint, I'll give you that.

takes office in 2019. IMO.

The electorate is weird but not that weird.

Seriously, think a little longer before you start a thread. Your predictive posts always come across like an idea just occurred to you , which is why they're goofy at best. Think stuff over. Read a bit. Revise your thinking. Share when you're pretty sure you're onto something.

the 2018 elections for Congress to see which way the wind is blowing and if Trump still has his base.

But, if I have an idea that I think should be passed along, it will be passed along.

I better end this response before I get vulgar.

enough to be elected president twice.

Even without factoring in Pence's utter lack of charisma and appalling record that's nuts.

And that's very unlikely

No one gonna vote for Mike Pence. Also, he is dirty AF on the Russia stuff too.

but that didn't work out.

Not one idiot who voted for THE idiot voted for Pence
My dog could have been the running mate
Apples and oranges

most of them dubious at best.

This OP is preposterous

Plus, I expect Trump to throw Pence under the bus to save himself. As in "It was a my VP's idea."

just to fill in the date.

Ten years maximum.

There will be nothing left.

The republicans are gutting everything.

...he's just as dirty as the rest of them...

Ford was an honorable man. Became a national punchline
A Veep who takes over from a disgraced POTUS is nothing
Your concern and prediction is ridiculous

Your job is not to make depressing predictions that discourage everyone. Your job is to get up off your ass and work as hard as you can to ensure that your prediction does not become reality. We all need to organize, from the local level all the way up.

And showmanship. Pence is a dud

The 22nd Amendment limits a VIP to one additional term if he serves more than two years of the previous president's term:

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

Small comfort ...

imho

Solid follow up to the claim that the October surprise was going to be autonomous vehicles.

no 3rd party disruption in future. Democrats have learned. If not, we deserve america in shambles
