I'm going to go with my gut, which is right about 80% of the time.

Chances of:

Impeached, removed from office = 0%
Resigns during middle of term = 10%
Assassinated = 10%
Declines to run for second term = 10%
Fails in reelection bid = 20%
Reelected for second term serves full 8 years = 50%

I suspect the latter.
You believe the Warren report version?

You really are gullible.

You just revealed your superficial devotion to conspiracy theories. You are an easy tool for Paul Ryan.

Have looked at some stuff on this. Not Bill Hicks, but some stuff. I'm on this bus with you, Tom.

It wasn't Oswald, Oswald was the diversion/fall guy, probably told to shoot to miss. Real killer fired from grassy knoll and got away clean.

The 'immaculate bullet' was planted.

Oswald met with Dallas officer J.D Tippit and probably killed him when Tippit gave him word that made Oswald realize he'd been had, and was going down for the assassination.

Some very fishy things went on in Dallas Police HQ in the two days between between Oswald's arrest, and his killing by Jack Ruby. No one has broken silence on Oswald's interrogation or much else.

Jack Ruby was incredibly afraid of something, but no one seems to know what.

That's most of what I'm able to say, it's enough to call the Warren Report very wrong, but further info is only speculation AFAIK.

Trump will turn them loose. That's what they were chosen for.

Chuck Schumer said that.

And they picked this guy to be Senate Minority leader.

But even so. I think there are a number of issues where they can work with Trump.

To me, Trump is the most liberal Republican President since Nixon, or maybe even Eisenhower.

On the flip side of that Hillary would have been the most right wing Democratic President since, God I don't know, before FDR for sure.

Trump was able to win by running both to the right, and the left of her.

Here's an interesting article that appeared in the Nation way back in March that examined that possibility.

It turned out to be quite accurate.

In the general election, he could win by running to her left—and her right.
