If & When Trump Goes It Will Still Be A National Embarrassment & Tragedy.

Trump leaving early in his presidency for incompetent will be a scar on the country. And in it s own way will be a tragedy. It will diminish our reputation as a country. And it will take a long time to ever regain our status. Then we will have a radical theocrat in office who will try to advance religion or even try to make this a theocracy.

We will still have a renegade and destructive GOP. And they will still be out to destroy the place. We appear to be in a no win situation. Plus the GOP will still be in a position to further rig elections to their advantage almost permanently.

So even if Trump leaves we may not be much better off.

Repugs own the midterms

we need to emphasize and push for a huge turnout

huge enough to beat the gerrymandering

I will take a stable Pres over an unstable one any day of the week. While Pence's policies are not to my liking they are constant. Much easier to resist a known threat than an unknown one. I don't see him keeping Bannon on board either which would be a big win.

The most pressing issue is getting the delusional madman out of the White House.

Everyone will be all over the new Prez 24/7

Bush was a national embarrassment and a tragedy, but the media ignore him now

And like Bush, Trump will just be a joke and a series of LOLpics floating around the web
