\u2018Prediction professor\u2019 who called Trump\u2019s big win also made another forecast: Trump will be impeached<\/a> – The Washington Post <\/h3>\n

Peter W. Stevenson <\/p>\n

At the end of our September conversation, Lichtman made another call: That if elected, Trump would eventually be impeached by a Republican Congress that would prefer a President Mike Pence \u2014 someone who establishment Republicans know and trust. <\/p>\n

\u201cI’m going to make another prediction,\u201d he said. \u201cThis one is not based on a system, it’s just my gut. They don’t want Trump as president, because they can’t control him. He’s unpredictable. They’d love to have Pence \u2014 an absolutely down the line, conservative, controllable Republican. And I’m quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook.\u201d <\/p>\n

So while Republican voters clearly came home before Nov. 8 \u2014 network exit polls show 90 percent of GOP voters cast ballots for Trump \u2014 it’s less clear that the party leadership is on board. (Lichtman actually isn’t the only person to predict a Trump impeachment; this morning<\/a>, the New York Times’s David Brooks suggested a Trump impeachment or resignation was \u201cprobably\u201d in the cards sometime within the next year.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
