I'm wondering how possible of a scenario it is that he breaks with tradition and becomes a sort of surrogate voice for the American people as Trump's administration falls to pieces. Do you guys think that's possible? What kind of outcome would that produce?

If he says anything now they will make it all about him instead of the criminals in the WH so I dont think he will stray too far from tradition.

(5,730 posts)falling apart, and we have lost our international status, he is trying to mitigate the damage. Maybe NATO or the UN will make him a special ambassador, of some sort. Anyway, I hope he keeps it up. We need him to remind the world what more than 1/2 of America is like.
God, we need to take back the House and Senate, especially since they have the Supremes. We have the credible news, intelligence, and the strong resistance.
