To me it’s now PERFECTLY CLEAR what the Republican Leadership plan has been:

1) Deny Trump any major victories (particularly ending Obamacare and the wall). Hopefully, at that point Trump’s supporters will start giving up on him...and that is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL for the next step - which is removal from office.

2) Hope that Mueller comes up with that smoking gun. If Trump is first weakened, then consider moving in for the kill, Impeachment.

3) If the above is not possible, but Trump is still weakened, even a little, then Primary him out in 2020.

What really gives their plan away is the Wall. The Republicans have a HUGE MAJORITY in the House, the Wall costs next to nothing (by government standards), and possibly nothing if they go after Mexico for funding. Yet the Republican leadership won’t even consider it...passing the Wall, at least in the House should have taken all of 5 minutes. Now the Senate could well be tougher...and might even stop the Wall in Conference. But the Wall would be a BARGAINING CHIP, and could well be traded for things like E-Verify, ending birthright citizenship, immigration limits.

The bottom line is that TRUMP was to look ineffective and useless. However, that just changed, now the ones looking ineffective and useless are the Republican leaders in Congress - with Ryan’s Speakership in jeopardy.

Your scenario is plausible. In addition, it has always seemed likely to me that bringing down Pres Trump by any means will naturally result in the complete decimation of the Republican party. The reason this is not being admitted is that the uniparty has that goal in mind anyway. Pres Trump has stripped the no Trumpers in both dem and rep parties bare. Pres Trump is free to go all out with whatever he sees best for America and the citizens who put him in power. God bless Pres Donald Trump.

But no...the Republicans refuse to even consider it...which means that they want to be able to go their voters (i.e., us) and say: “We told you so, Trump was never going to get you the Wall. He lied to you, it’s time for new blood in the White House.”

I have been saying it for sometime now - Trump MUST run as an Independent in 2020 and tell the Grand Old Party to stick it where the sun don't shine. I used to maintain he could have won 2016 as a 3rd party - that is how disgusted and angry most voters are with the Uniparty controlling this nation and pushing their OWG goal.
