He's going to be in office. I don't see what good it does to keep holding out for wild situations that might prevent his inauguration.
This has been such an unusual, bizarre, and unpredictable election cycle, though. And if we learn that the information Russia has on Trump involves impeachable offenses of some kind, it's not out of the realm of possibility to wonder about such things. I'm with Irvine in that it'd be great if we could just have a complete do-over, but if we can't do that, I think it's worth at least examining whatever options we do have. This whole Russia business in general is really not a good thing for Trump to have hanging over his head as he's about to take office, and there's so much about his shady connections to the country and Putin that are troubling. Even if it doesn't prevent him taking office, I could see it meaning he won't actually stay president for long.
Whatever happens, though, I too am not surprised by these allegations.
I understand there was a massive feeling of discontent re Washington, the establishment, trade deals etc. Ok, fair enough.
But surely people don't need to fall for such elementary school antics.
Exactly. I too understand the frustration with the establishment, but going to the complete opposite end and supporting somebody who not only has zero political experience, but has also shown a blatant ignorance and lack of understanding of the issues and the job of the presidency itself is not the solution to that particular problem.
And regardless of how experienced a politician somebody is, if they run a campaign blaming immigrants/gay people/black people/non-religious/non-Christian people/women/etc. for all the country's current ills, that should be the first clue that they're not worth taking seriously. That is nothing more than the politician's attempt to distract people from realizing that they have no actual viable plan to help the country. It's a tactic we've seen time and time and time and time again, and while it might elect those politicians to office, it sure as hell doesn't solve any of the country's problems.
