Trump will never enjoy being the President. He will either lose the election, get impeached, or killed. Don't worry about that.
R.I.P.
Wait, what? I kinda missed that somehow.
Yeah, I know America is damn near fucked up the ass if not already so, but would you care to explain the USA suicide? Watch the answer be something in the back of my head...
4107911
4108602 Referring to the formal nomination of Donald Trump.
4108638 It's only a suicide if Trump wins the election, he doesn't even get that the presidency is a 24/7 job. Even the worst of candidates before have at least wanted the office more than anything, with Trump it seems he could care less what he'll do once in office, he's just doing this as the ultimate ego trip.
4109337 Yeah, and that's what scares me. He actually expects Mike Pence to run the country while he Donald Trumps around.
4109384 Plus, pretty much all of his policies are insane, and would break SO many laws, granted, the watching on every Muslim thing is basically what the NSA is doing, but still. Does he even have ANY experience in politics? Like what Abe Lincoln said to Mitt Romney in ERB "It's a country, not a company, you can play like Monopoly."
4109470 Donald Trump has absolutely no business running for political office, and it astonishes me and makes me angry that this has happened. Unfortunately, there's not a thing that can be done to stop it. -_-
4109473 We got a bunch of angry Rednecks voting him cause. according to a survey, a chunk of white males are upset at not getting "what they were privelaged". I'd rather vote Kanye West than him, and he's running for 2020
4109476 I would honestly leave America if I could. But I can't even leave the goddamn town I'm in.
4109480 We should all, if he becomes President (Please let someone assassinate him), drive back and forth between Mexico and the US, flipping the Great Wall of Trump (Each brick shall little mini Trump heads on them, forming several giant Trump heads), repeatedly
4109473 He's even said he won't honor NATO if Russia attacks one of the Baltic Nations, yet he condems Hillary for letting Russia become our enemy. I'm just sick of this whole election, neither candidate talks about issues, they just say how they're not like the other (and they're both just two sides of the same coin).
4108638 Figured as much... Something I already knew and just couldn't date.
4109544 Hillary at least has better proposals on her campaign site, like reforming our, rather broken, criminal justice system
4110245 The only good things she's putting forth are because she's trying to get Sanders supporters on her side. She was for Obama's Pacific trade deal and The Keystone Oil Pipeline, then she flipflopped to being against them when Bernie Sanders and other progressives lashed out at them. And I suspect she wouldn't have bothered to put in a platform plank about Citizens United if Sanders hadn't constantly drawn attention to it in his campaign. It's clear the Democrats, like the Republicans, have picked the wrong candidate for the job.
4110272 Bernie Sanders would have been a disaster as President. The Democrats didn't have a good candidate. Neither did the Republicans. Honestly, ANY outcome of this year's election would have been bad for America. It's just that it happened to go the worst possible way all around.
4110274 Sanders wouldn't have been anywhere near the trainwreck Hillary or Trump will surely be, there weren't many good Republicans to begin with, the only one who might have had a chance at getting some cross-party support was John Kasich and even then he probably would've been sunk in the debates because he admitted climate change is a threat but yet he doesn't want to do anything about it and sided with every other Republican in that he'd roll back the climate change treaty signed in Paris. At least with Sanders, we could've made some progress towards cleaning up the corruption, then we could've voted a more worthwhile candidate into office to finish the job.
4110287 Yeah, it'd be a cakewalk to clean up corruption if Sanders advanced even half of his Socialist agenda.
4110291 He's not really socalist, and it stands he was the only candidate who understood what needs to be addressed if we're ever going to get out of the mess we're in, reforming campaign finacial laws so people can't dump unlimited money onto candidates for their own agenda. Overturning Citizens United and making sure it stays overturned is just the beginning, and until it's addressed there's no hope for America.
4110274 Bernie could have been a good president, reduced college tuition for low income families, easier access to medical marijauna for those with cancer or fibro mialgia, etc. He wouldn't have been perfect, but still
