You're basically spewing left wing propaganda. The Democrats want to charge him, not anyone else, which is also why Mueller didn't find a crime and didn't charge the President as that is his role and job as Prosecutor.

The moment you spouted criminal charges of obstruction, it rendered your post MOOT as there isn't anything there to suggest that in any way shape or form.

If it were an ATS poll, Trump would be forecast to win in a landslide.
In the real world, no. If he does win, he will scrape by as he did in 2016 with crafty, specific, targeting of just the right demographics. He's a great campaigner, self-promoter, and strategizer. Unfortunately it's only to fill his needs of adoration. He doesn't care about the issues our country has, only about speaking to what maintains the support of his base.
I'm concerned he will do absolutely anything to win in order to avoid criminal charges of obstruction when out of office before the statute of limitations expire. Really, I think that's a main concern of his. I don't see Trump as a guy that ever wanted to be President. If he had a way out in which he wouldn't lose his "street cred" he'd take it.
As is your reasoning that he'll "scrap by", Trump didn't "Scrap by" at all.
The moment you quoted me as saying "scrap by", not once but twice, your post was rendered moot.
You just don't like what I'm saying because it's anti-Trump. You can just say that. And quote me spelling words correctly.
As for there being nothing to support criminal charges of obstruction when he is out of office, read the Mueller report and try to understand why Mueller didn't pursue criminal charges against a sitting President. He absolutely could be charged when out of office. If not re-elected that is.
The BS you're regurgitating is exactly what we all have been talking and pointing out, thanks for reinforcing our views about the witch hunt and once again, keep trying 😌

Al Gore has announced his candidacy. If he is nominated by the Dems, that may be the best chance they have at winning the presidency. Trump is doing a good job but he could be doing better.
He could do a better job with the cooperation of the Congress But that wont happen
Great job. Unfortunately he won't be around to pay off all the debt he has made pretending to be doing a good job.
Would look like I was doing great if I took out a mortgage worth of credit every day. Until the interest passed my earnings of coarse.
When he doubles the national debt like Bozo did then I will become concerned.

Really seemed like a race war out there on the media.
In the media yeah, in reality, no.
It makes brains wonder. Just not enough brains.

Absolutely and you are indeed correct as to my persistence is endless, especially when those fellow Americans have been consuming liberal media, i.e., fake news.

You're welcome! Your need of reinforcement and reassurance seems never-ending.
Mueller didn't pursue criminal charges against the President (or even look - remember him saying it was not a criminal investigation into the President?) because of the OLC policy not to charge a sitting president. This is why he says Congress needs to address it. He isn't going to say the President committed a crime because it isn't his place to do so, not against a sitting President. Plenty of others, however, close to the President, were indicted. It's no talking point it's just what has happened.
“That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”

“That is not the correct way to say it,” Mueller said. “As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime.”
They could not determine a crime, therefore, the OLC guideline wasn't the reasoning for, and as you say, this wasn't a criminal investigation into the President.
There is no point for this to go to Congress as the final decision ultimately laid at Barrs feet, who's determination is based off the traditional understanding that a President can be held for Obstruction through BLATANT criminal conduct, e.g., witness tampering, bribery, etc.
By contrast, the "Angry Democrat" (Trump et al) partisan lawyers on Mullers team operated under a broad and expansive contruction of Onstruction, for example, firing of a director or agency lead, to include Special Prosecutor if deemed the Presidents motives were corrupt.
The reason it needed to get to Congress was not because they were working for Justice, lol, they were hoping to kick it off to Congressional Democrats in the hopes to start Impeachment inquiries, at the very least, hurt Trump politically.
Truth is, they failed. Attorney General Barr is an old school professional, former swamp creature, turned good, he saw through the BS and Muellers team knew it.
You're Welcome 😐
"That's not the correct way to say it," Mueller said. "We did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime."
"Based on Justice Department policy and principles of fairness, we decided we would not make a determination as to whether the President committed a crime. That was our decision then and it remains our decision today."
