after all they will probably never achieve as much assholery as the White Europeans have over the centuries.

FDR I thought was a great President.

If you're talking about the guy who ran Germany from 1933-1945 then that of course is a whole different story and I'll agree with you somewhat if you're making that particular comparison. Though we should not equate Trump with Hitler directly, though his behaviour has been Hitleresque in his rhetoric.

We don't need to experiment to see if a sociopath can actually govern the USA.

America could fall to the Christo-Fascists in that amount of time.

Not that Ben Carson isn't already batshit, but what the hell's going on with this guy?

His first four years in office were horrible for the country, between his legitimacy as POTUS being questionable (at best) from the start, being asleep at the wheel on 9/11, unnecessarily invading and getting us mired in a quagmire in Iraq, torturing prisoners, turning around Clinton's growing economy, etc. and he still got elected in 2004. I don't have any confidence that Trump would necessarily be gone after four years if he got elected POTUS. Let's make sure he doesn't even get four years!!!

I hade almost driven him out of my memory but as the historian said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I wonder how much it took to make him deaf, dumb and blind to the nation's problems.

For Detroit: It's been 48 years of neglect. Must seem like a dream or whisp of smoke to him.

Either is intolerable.
