Trump Bingo: Don't get too excited yet
"Today I'm announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry."
Are you playing Trump Bingo? It's the game where members of Don's administration takes up spaces on a bingo card. Each time one resigns or is fired, you x-out the space. For example, Sarah Sanders leaves her gig as press secretary...X!! Jeff Sessions is out as attorney general...X! Tillerson, Pruitt, Kelly...XXX!!! All those are great and fun, but it's just a tease, because to win the game, you have to block out the center square. That's where the current POTUS resides.
So when you heard the above quote from Nancy Pelosi, all you game players had to get excited. I could hear the victory screams coming from Seattle down to Miami. From sea to shining sea, all you folks were yelling Bingo! Victory was yours!
Not so fast, my friends....not so fast! You really don't think this is over, do you? You really can't believe this is the end, can you? As the band Chicago once sang, it's only the beginning. Only just the start.
Yeah, it's a good start, but that's all it is...at least for now. There's so far to go in this thing that we can't even see the finish line.
I do think that Donald Trump will be impeached by the House of Representatives. My guess is it will happen before the end of 2019. Hold on, kids....put those sharpies down. You only get to mark out the space if he is out of office. Impeachment doesn't do that. And you don't think he'll actually resign the presidency, do you? You aren't that naive, are you? Phew!
The next step is a trial in the Senate. To convict and be evicted from office, it takes a two thirds vote. Sixty seven out of one hundred senators are needed. Let's do the advanced math: the makeup of the Senate is fifty-three members are Republicans, forty-five are Democrats and two are Independents. That means twenty Republican senators will have to vote to convict a president of their own party. Do you really think that's going to happen? Have heard even one of them come out against Trump? Hey...didn't I tell you to put those sharpies down? Sorry to be a killjoy, I didn't mean to bring you down (okay, maybe I did), but someone has to give you all a dose of reality.
But here's some good news for you Bingo players....there's an election coming up. It's on November 3, 2020. I know it seems like a long time, but it's only four hundred and three days from now. You can hang on until then, can't you. I know it'll be tough, but you can do it. I have faith in you. And the better news is that if you play your cards right, you can vote out the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Then you can open up the drawer on your desk, find that sharpie and get it primed for action...but not quite yet.
The inauguration of the next POTUS will take place on January 20, 2021. When the next man/woman takes that oath of office, you can uncap that sharpie, mark an X over that center box and yell the word that we've been wanting to hear since 2017.....
BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!
