$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('vtsnowedin', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cog', 'T')he leaders of the RNC had nothing to do with Trump's selection and they fought him all the way to the election. Trump was elected by sheer will and guts and a voting block who was sick to death of the typical political types like Jeb Bush. But since you don't understand that you won't understand why Hillary lost either.

Both VTS and Ghung, neither of them Hillary supporters or loyal D's, have been able to see clearly as I have from the beginning that Trump, independent of the partisan polarization, is a deeply flawed candidate.

The classic unfolding of a doomed populist, able to raise the ire of the public but incapable of execution since his entire modus operandi is divisiveness. Notice the turnover of his cabinet.

The public turns in time on a populist when they grow weary of the incompetence and divisiveness.

This was all boringly predictable which is why I withdrew myself from the orbit of this asshole early on after initially engaging.

These days my inputs are a few poignant posts on a rare Monday!

A critically endangered tree frog was rediscovered by a herpetologist on our reserve a week ago. Read about it here. Now that is NEWS !

Nothing quite like a Trump thread to bring Ibon out of semi-retirement. LOL

Hillary illegally takes tens of thousands of government emails, including top secret emails, from secure government networks and copies them onto the cloud so she could access them from her unsecure ancient blackberry phone and has them copied onto Anthony Wieners laptop and printed out for her to read and then deletes 30,000 emails that are under subpoena and then bleaches and scrubs her server to totally destroy all evidence of what was on it and thats not mishandling of government documents and obstruction of justice?

Trump fires an FBI director who illegally leaked to the press and gave updates to Obama on the progress of the investigation of Hillary and gave Hillary a pass on her crimes and did nothing as his deputy and ranking members of the FBI lied to the FISA court to allow the Ds to wiretap the Trump campaign, and that is obstruction of justice?

What interesting times we live in...


Cheers!

None of that matters Plant. All that matters is that Trump hurts people's feelings and therefore must be impeached.

As the old British saying goes "A penny for your thoughts", so what do people think about Pence {that is one of the plural forms for penny} as a (possible) President?

I have heard only a little about him, so I would be interested in what people here think. There seems people here from different parts of the American political spectrum so there could be quite a range of feelings!

I don't agree that Pence gets much credit for that, and it seems that when he left office, a majority of the folks in Indiana felt the same way.

[vtsnowedin]

The point is for better or worse Pence is next in line to be PotUS if anything happens to Trump. We won't get a chance to vote for or against him before 2020. The question is can he put together a working administration and staff that can do a good job of it?
Of course Trump may last out the term in spite of the Democrats and CNN's best efforts so this is just idle speculation but why not avoid the rush?

[KaiserJeep]

Trump may be flawed, Tanada. Many quite effective US Presidents were.

I'm not a Trump fan, but I was definitely anti-Clinton. There was no viable 3rd party, so too bad that amounts to the same thing.
