60. They aren't' going to lose one damn thing!

Even if tramp wins, how will it actually or financially affect those who decided to dump Joe?
They still have their positions and if they win re-election they still have a great job with tremendous perks we'll never have. A tramp presidency won't bother them in the least.
Maybe the fact that "WE" are getting too powerful for them...actually deciding who WE want instead of who they want may be the issue. Once you get a taste of power maybe you decide you don't want to associate with the Lower Caste.
Once the Project takes shape, there'll be a lot less of us, more very low paid immigrants (it'll be ok because no workers!) and those who forced Joe out will be, "Well, that's that. Where do we lunch today?"
What's left of ALL of us will be 3/5ths of Americans, which may be the actual desired result.

If anyone thinks the people in political power now will suffer under tramp, they are crazy.
