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.

The stakes just got even higher.
One thing that would help is to beat Paul Ryan in the primary.
If only they put this much energy to in peach the Kenyan.
if they fear cruz then why are they helping him t stop trump?
I agree. If they try this my prediction would be that a lot of RINOs would suddenly assume room temperature. These will be interesting times.
The next time 700,000 patriotic Americans march on DC, they won't be stopping at the base of Capitol Hill.
Impeach. Though at times he deserved rotten peaches. Autocorrect, you’ve done it again.
That’s why his election campaign is being run by GOP operatives from the Bush administration & he has collected endorsements from the insiders.
Cruz was never “an outsider“. The intellectually honest political observer would have to detach themselves from all reasonable cognition to avoid accepting Ted Cruz:
Was part of George W. Bush’s administration.
Was part of George W Bush’s Florida recount team.
Was introduced to his wife Heidi (Condelezza Rice staffer) while working for Bush.
Has hired the entire operational arm of the Jeb Bush campaign team: Paul Dickerson of Houston, TX, Boyden Gray of Washington, DC, Charles Foster of Houston, TX, Reginald J. Brown of Washington, DC, Paula and Jim Henry of Midland, TX, and Nancy and Randy Best of Dallas, TX. Along with Neil Bush.
Those are facts.

Yes sirreee. That’s why even Willard Romney is supporting Rafael Cruz!
You LOSE!
follow the money. A Trump presidency will cut off money from the establishment stooges.
The president controls the head of the party and Prebus go to the unemployment line.
Hogwash. The RAT-RINO Uniparty knows it can cut deals with The Donald. Same with Hothead John Kasich. It’s Cruz they really fear.
Ha ha ha. Do you write comedy for a living?
Hand in hand...just like they’ve always been.
.. establishment fully supports Ted Cruz. He does best in states where the establishment decides who wins, not primary voters...
Ted Cruz...King of the voterless States.
Ted for King. Trump for President.
“A people unwilling to use extreme violence to obtain or preserve their liberty deserve the tyrant’s the rule them.” me
If they do this they will not even believe the blow back they will incur.
“The 2nd amendment exists for a reason.”
“When the people fear the government you have tyranny, when the government fears the people you have liberty.”
It’s time that those who want to repeal our 2nd amendment rights should have their protective services repealed too.
More psywar agitprop nonsense here. Trump won every county in FL but one. No FL GOPer would be insane enough to vote to impeach Trump because it would be the end of their political careers.
Exactamundo! While I voted for Cruz, I have come to realize Donald Trump is the one candidate who can accomplish the most important objective for me, destroying the GOPe. You are right Trump has exposed this cabal as no one else has.
I agree!
