It can save him through some perfunctory dismissal of articles of impeachment, but if it does so it may be on the way to a long time in the political wilderness, if not oblivion.

I think it may be oblivion, because there is only one person who has the charisma to be a Republican Obama or even a Republican Bill Clinton. That one person is his daughter Ivanka. But she is not even a Republican, and could go down the dumps with her daddy. And she will have to find a way to prove herself as a presidential public figure somehow. Absent that, there's no other potential candidate who can win the presidential election and thus keep the Republicans in the Senate and in the corporate boardrooms and elsewhere in control of the country.

That's not really true.  I can think of one Republican that still has a great reputation and might, in fact, run in 2020 if Mafia Don is impeached and thrown out of office: Nikki Haley.  She's smart, personable and has a pretty solid track record in South Carolina and the UN.

Well, I can see how it might seem so. But according to my cosmic horoscope scoring system, her score is abysmal. And that goes for most of the others who might be considered today. No, Republicans are joined at the hip with Mafia Don and are stuck with him, at least until daughter Ivanka is ready-- but she isn't even a Republican!

Some of the Democratic candidates seemed attractive and had good records too. Beto was some kind of rock star. But when things got going, he fell behind. Now his polls are under 2%. He lived up to his lousy score after all. Harris is fading too. It looked like she had a following, but it's down to 4% now. Her abysmal score is catching up with her too.

Warren has a mediocre score, so the question now is whether her big bump is temporary, and whether she can beat my expectations. I can't predict her to win if she is nominated. I think only Biden and Sanders have a chance if Trump keeps his 43% and his job and runs again. But if by some miracle Pence is the Republican candidate in 2020, then maybe the wooden indian can beat the wooden stick.
