President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Tough, but fair.

 

I alone can fix

 

If the dems can’t take advantage of a mentally unstable man, ignorant and lacking in education and literacy then they are as much of a problem as President Dumpf

 

He's passing all those "failed Generals".

 

We ALL got the government we deserve.

Because we didn't fight hard enough to stop it (whether it's voting for Trump or Jill Stein or just sitting home because "none of the above" sounded like the best vote). Because we haven't fought hard enough to abolish an electoral college system that NO OTHER ELECTION IN AMERICA USES EXCEPT FOR THE PRESIDENCY. Because we let Trump take the center position at every Republican debate during the primaries instead of sticking him at the far end with the Carly Fiorinas and other misfit candidates. Because we WANTED him to win the nomination because it would be good teevee and --- ha! --- that will ensure a Clinton victory come November.

Because we're so smug about our election system that we're blind to its godawful flaws.

Can you imagine reading the following TASS news report:

"Vladimir Putin was re-elected as president of the Russian Federation on Sunday, defeating his opponent, former world chess champion Garry Kasparov, despite getting only 47.1 percent of the 80.4 million votes cast and losing the popular vote by more than 4 million.

Kasparov had 42,247,419 votes to only 38,138,857 for Putin. But Putin claimed key electoral college victories in the Irkutsk and Sverdlovsk oblasts that enabled him to eke out a close victory. The borders of those oblasts were redrawn by Putin's administration in 2014, drawing harsh criticism from Russia's other political parties."

 

Trump is not particularly wrong on the Syria stuff. Obama would have been defended for it. Suddenly, the Dick Cheney wing of America has credence and legitimacy because Trump wants to pull out of Syria.

 

Elizabeth Warren is running. It would be a wet dream for Trump if she got the nomination. Trump would destroy her.

 

Again, not what he's doing. How he's doing it.

If in fact he's "doing it" at all.

 

I remember 3013 like it was yesterday. Great year it was.

 

If he doesn’t do it, it’ll be because the neocons flipped out and leveraged their support of the wall or something against it.

I mean, the main reason the man can’t be president is because of this stuff. He gets virtually nothing done, every person in the White House flips out at every little thing, the media does, too, he’s on twitter all day, it’s a mess.

 

I respect Warren as a Senator and near-constant thorn in Trump's side, but no. Sixty-nine years old ain't gonna get it done. The Boomers' time is up.
