    Well, it just tells you what these people are pissed off about. I don't fucking agree with most of it, but this is their conviction.

    Yeah, sure, don't care.

    Trump got the exact same vote the Republican candidate always gets. If there was some silent majority uprising, it was balanced out precisely by establishment Republican voters abandoning him.

    Rick, you are a very sharp guy, but you couldn't predict chickenshit hitting the ground with this election.

    Yeah, I'm sure he's bummed out having 60 million people vote for him.

    Oh, I was dead wrong. But many were unflinchingly rigid about it, right to the bloody end.

    Negative. It still takes a two-thirds majority to get a constitutional amendment through Congress, which will never happen unilaterally. Then a three-fourths majority of the state houses, which sets the bar at 38. But it has to get through Congress first.

    Ummm ... Congress can pound sand if 2/3rds of the states want to make a change.

    ETA: @heyabbott beat me to it.
