You have a repeating blind spot with this. No where it the constitution does it say thou shalt not bullst. We get you don't like his style. It won't impeach him, as an apparently intelligent man, you should realise this.
I have no blind spot. He will go - in some manner or other. It will take time - but he will go.He can bullst all he likes and break no laws. But the bullstting causes consequences. And it's the consequences of the bullst that will be his downfall.

My guess is that sooner or later he's going to have to testify under oath. Then he'll almost certainly perjure himself. If this will bring him down or not, I'm not sure.
But he'll perjure himself bettor than any other president and more quickly. Obama never perjured himself SAD!Yesterdays interview was strange, rambling, not on message...

Time. It all takes time He's only been in situ for nine months.
He can continue to talk like an idiot and a clown for many more months to come but there is a chip, chip chipping away at his support in Washington. His base will stick by him - no matter what. But they don't matter.
Those he REALLY needs will lose patience with him - and get him out (as they did with Nixon).
I remember you saying two months.He can continue to talk like an idiot and a clown for many more months to come but there is a chip, chip chipping away at his support in Washington. His base will stick by him - no matter what. But they don't matter.
Those he REALLY needs will lose patience with him - and get him out (as they did with Nixon).

Let him babble. He will eventually be undone by his own incoherent, verbal diarrhoea.

Give him time. There comes a point where the accumulated garbage coming from his mouth will cause his downfall (if something else doesn't first)..
What makes you think anything he says from now on will bring him down?He’s mocked the disabled, he’s attacked military (pow and Gold Star families, repeatedly), the whole “grab 'em by the pussy” thing and called white nationalist stiff armed salutes “fine people”.
It’s funny watching people say “Now THIS is the thing that’ll finish him”. Like flies bashing their heads into window panes “Now THIS time I’ll make it through”

What can he do or say for people to lose patience with him? Where is their line in the sand? What on earth can he do to make them say “Oh now this time he’s gone too far!”?
Ignoring his other stuff, when they were OK with him mocking the disabled reporter they’re OK with everything from there on in.

I've long said it'll take the republicans to sense danger to their own security for anything to happen. If the outrage extends to the ballot boxes in 2018 then and only then will you see some action.What can he do or say for people to lose patience with him? Where is their line in the sand?

There may be other red lines for the republicans but not being close enough to the country I can't say for sure what they might be.
It's the only way I see him going based on what we see right now. well, the Russian thing notwithstanding as the investigation is essentially leak free so we've no sight of that.

Seth Meyers picks it up as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSTQSZpLoSk&t=...https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/10/23...
Cant even provide an accurate answer to anything.
The first real test for Trump will be the mid-term elections.
So far many/most Americans seem to be ignoring Trump's inanities, but imagine what a slick PR outfit with a multi-million dollar budget will do.
You could run an election campaign based on nothing but Trump quotes : start with his remarks on Presidents playing too much golf...
