Paul Ryan and friend
Washington, D.C., insiders are so obsessed with presidential hopeful Donald Trump that they will map out “impeachment” scenarios before he has clinched the 2016 Republican nomination.
Radio host Rush Limbaugh predicted in March that Republicans and Democrats would raise the specter of impeachment on “Day Two” of a Trump administration. Amazingly, the conservative icon’s estimate was too generous.
“I’m telling you that if Trump gets elected, you’re gonna see more unity between the Republicans and Democrats in stopping any Trump authoritarianism than you have ever seen in your life,” Limbaugh said March 8, WND reported. “Because they’re gonna hate it, they’re gonna despise the guy, and they’re gonna align together to stop him if he tries executive orders.”
Politico’s reporting on Monday demonstrated that experts are eager to chat about possible impeachment proceedings against the Republican front-runner. The website asked “more than a dozen members of Congress, former Capitol Hill administration and presidential campaign aides and legal experts” to ruminate on ways to end Trump’s time in the White House.
Washington attorney Bruce Fein said there is “50/50” chance that Trump would be impeached, and Yale Law School lecturer Eugene Fidell said the candidate’s promises “would constitute high crimes and misdemeanors” if honored.

Fein warned that Republicans would have to carefully plan their assault because “the last thing you want to do is strike at the king and not chop the head off.”
Former Harry Reid strategist Jim Manley concurred with Holtz-Eakin on the GOP leadership’s willingness to attack a Republican president.
“This would be a rear-guard effort led by Republicans, with the acquiescence of Democrats, to purge a system once and for all of the toxins that have been building for years,” Manley said.

Obama has already set the precedent for executive orders, and the supreme court is in the process right now of saying that the president can do what ever he wants, good luck with all your grand schemes, the people will burn Washington DC to the ground.
Touch Trump and it will be 1776 all over again, promise.
The 2nd amendment exists for a reason.
B T T T
1776?
More like 1789 or 1861.
This is why Ryan is building a Wall around his home, and has massive security.
These Washington idiots don’t have a clue what they’d be letting themselves in for if they tried something as foolish as that....
Muslims?
The Cheap Labor Express will not allow the citizens to elect a President who enforces the laws and borders.
I love it, they are all crapping in their cribs.
For the way Trump needs to answer these obsession driven, dysfunctional poseurs:

Hogwash. The RAT-RINO Uniparty knows it can cut deals with The Donald. Same with Hothead John Kasich. It’s Cruz they really fear.
Support Trump or not you have to admit the guy has exposed the Uniparty like no other. Obvious as hell now that in this country we got the Democratic party and Democrat operative party - Democrats posing as Republicans and they are all absolutely hellbent getting that psychotic b*tch from hell Hillary into the White house to hell with what they people think.
Isn’t it amazing how many left-tards who rejoiced at every Obama unconstitutional action now have their panties in a wad as they start to think future presidents may follow his precedents?
Of course nothing has actually happened yet with the election still 7 months away but they are already Wee-Wee’d up.
Aye. Ryan will be out anyway. He has a primary challenger & people know what a traitor Ryan is.
I think you meant “putsch”
Not long ago we had Ross Douchehat of the NY Times tweeting about assassinating Trump, so having liberals and their gope allies fanaticizing about impeachment is an improvement of sorts.
Hell, If the GOPe is so obsessed with a Trump presidency, why not challange him to a dual? Of course, their man had better be a good shot. After it is all over, they had better take out their history books and study the down fall of Rome. I know the history of Rome is boring and many of these GOPers probably were too stoned out of their minds and slept through anything that resembled history in their school days. They were the ones who paid others to write their final papers and take their exams for them. School was a time to chase skirt and stay stoned.
If Congress can’t even impeach Traitorobama or Traitorhillary or Traitorkerry or TraitorHolder or the TraitorSCOTUS majority, they won’t do anything about Trump.
Oh brother!
The establishment fully supports Ted Cruz. He does best in states where the establishment decides who wins, not primary voters. Furthermore he's endorsed by the likes of The Weekly Standard, National Review, Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush.
