    My willing suspension of disbelief won't stretch that far.

    FURTHERMORE, once they've broken out the notecards and the inkpot, from each of these 62,984,825 people, I want a written explanation of what they were thinking when they pulled the lever for this man.

    We've been writing about this obscene, not-quite sentient pork knuckle for forty years.

    He is exactly who we said he is.

    Wtf did they expect?

    Well, see, that’s the beauty of it. He’s seems relatable because he’s not perfect, and so common folk eat it up.

    They expected ONE thing: NOT Hillary.

    What’s your home address?

    And, can you arrange written apologies from everyone in the Democratic power structure who forced it's her turn Hillary 2.0 upon us?

    Jesus.

    Stop it.

    Stop using Hillary as some sort of catchall excuse.

    Explain an affirmative vote for Donald Trump.

    I didn’t much care for the alternative, and I figured there would be clown show aspects to his Presidency (did NOT expect THIS much though - had hoped he’d learn on the job and get better over time, but hell, that hope has flown out the window too...)

    BUT, people seem to forget this: he really was and still is an outsider to the Republican Party. He wasn’t placed in there by the Republican political apparatus. He plodded through the primaries in which there were way too many candidates, and wound up at the top of the stewing heap because the people voted him to be there, not the RNC clearing the decks of everyone else and placing him as the nominee.

    He’s the closest thing to a third party candidate that we will see. I thought we would NEVER see one. And so he foisted himself upon the Republican power structure and a lot of them openly are against him (some governors like Hogan in MD are an example), while others are holding their noses and waiting for 4 or 8 years to be up and the stench to clear out. In the meantime, they are taking sides with him to keep Red things moving forward, but not all things - they still haven’t appropriated for the fucking Wall which always makes me think of Berlin and East Germany.

    Anyway - two last things:

    1) I hope he accomplishes some good things while in there, and that the bad things can be reversed when the successor comes in.

    2) The level of TDS amazes me.

    Hope that helps. Answering as honestly as I can, and would prefer not to be yelled at and thrown barbs for trying to answer your questions.

    Have a great day everyone,
    VB
