1. Suppose we wake up tomorrow morning and Spanky is gone.

He's been abducted by aliens or eaten by an alligator in one of his water hazards or defected to Russia. He's gone. What's next?

Mike Dense becomes president. He will have to appoint a vice president, who if he had his choice would certainly be someone horrible, but that person would have to be approved by a majority of houses of Congress, so considering that the Dems control the house, there could be a stalemate for awhile unless he agrees to someone who's merely bad instead of horrible.

And the whole 2020 election strategy will change, because some never-Trumpers in the GOP would probably consider Pence to be more acceptable and return to the party. On the other hand, Pence has all the charisma of week-old roadkill, so the rabid MAGAts won't have anyone so fleck spittle over and might be less excited about voting GOP. Which candidate would the Dems choose if Pence rather than Trump were the opponent?

they should fire all of the executive branch stooges, toadies and grifters Trump appointed, and hire competent, honest, qualified people.

6. First thing I would do would be to CLEAN HOUSE...anyone who worked for fat donnie would be gone

Then I would go to congress ,both sides, and tell them there are three co-equal branches of Government and it better get back to as intended.


I would reverse all of his dumb EO

I would call every leader of other nations and beg forgiveness. I would rejoin NAFTA and TPP and then bring our troops HOME.

I'd take a break for dinner, go to the balls and then get started on 1. Medicare for ALL 2. Make election day a federal holiday 3 roll out adds for those things. 4. make everyone equal in pay, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, age...

I would break wall street and big pharma

I would expose the congress rats that allowed fat donnie to get away with things starting with urtle the turtle

Probably sleep around 3 AM and then wake up at 7 and start my second day

7. We are assuming fat donnie will accept the results of the election and leave

This ass hole has yet to follow tradition on anything.

I expect him not to concede. If fact I think he will contest the election and claim wide spread voter fraud. He will do everything to stay in office from declaring martial law to locking himself in the presidential bathroom.

Once the meltdown is over there much be a review of the IQ45 pResidency by the newly sworn in president and his/her cabinet. This will take at least 100 days.

The first priority(s) is to mend fences with our traditional allies plus, somehow fix our healthcare system. I don't know that this ass hole and the idiot from Kentucky did but last year my health insurance increased by 20 percent.
