Not wishing to butt in out of turn in what is, essentially, a matter for the American people, but I think of all this in terms of democracy.
There is only one way a monster like Trump can be prevented from abusing the office of President: Kick him out of the White House.
Now.... It seems to me on this side of the pond that the courts are unlikely to be able to prosecute him. He's been a businessman long enough to have learned how to manipulate the system, cover his arse, create plausible deniablility or just downright lie knowing that he can either bribe or destroy the plausibility of anybody who would testify against him, or if he thought he could get away with it, have them killed.
So, if you can't throw him into chokey, where he probably deserves to be, the only option is through the electoral process.
You have a vote. Use it. Now, I understand that it will require a number of people to change their vote to oust him. Fair enough. That's how democracy works.
And so Pat's point, that an opponent to Trump will be needed, who can show the sort of leadership that will inspire enough people to change their vote at the next General Election. At the moment, the Democrats don't seem to have such a candidate.
Perhaps Trumps chances of re-election will be decided, not by his "merits" as a President (I really don't like using the word "merit" in conjunction with Trump, but you know what I'm saying), but by the paucity of an alternative that the American people will feel they can follow.
The Democratic Party really needs to get its act together, if only to save the White House from many more Christmases of his baleful wife's appalling taste in festive decoration. When the pictures were shown on the news here, I half expected to see a small boy on a tricycle come around the corner.
But seriously. It's not just America that needs to be saved from Trump. Britain is already blowing its own foot off with an elephant gun with Brexit, and the only plan our own utterly incompetent government seems to have is to go to a monster that will devour us.
Don't just save America, save those of us who had no say in his election, but will be affected by his imperialist ambitions.
The world needs a Democrat with the political skills and leadership to save us all. Not just America.
