There is enuf evidence now to show that T rump organized a secret group of men to get Ukraine to say they were investigating to find corrupt activities by Dems, and to let Ukraine know they weren’t getting military equipment (that they needed to have a chance to be safe from Russia), until they announced such an investigation. T rump also asked China, on network air, to give him dirt on the Dems.
Is it a crime to use the all the powers of the Presidency, by T rump to manipulate foreign countries in to helping him win the next election? Dirt from China, depending on how much it promoted positive poll changes for him, could result in some tariffs being cut. All sorts of possibilities if T rump gets away with what he has done. And he most likely will get away with it. He is the type to continue if there are no downside consequences.
So he goes all out, and insures a win in 2020, by breaking any laws that he wishes (as he is above the law, still, if you hadn’t noticed). He declares a mandate, and continues to break down any previous systems that have limited Presidential power. He becomes all powerful – not constrained by laws or governmental systems. He finagles some excuse to have himself declared POTUS for Life. That’s how he becomes an autocrat. It is not all that far from his reach atm.
