I am holding on to hope until 2020 but ....if the unthinkable happens-then what?

[demtenjeep]

if the lunatic remains in office and the R keep the senate they will take that as a demand to continue the way things are going.


I fear if that happens America really will be over as we know it...

When the primary is over, whomever our candidate is I will fight hard for them EVEN if it wasn't my person. Also, for grampa Robert's replacement and any other D's in my area.

We all have to give it our all and hope that it is enough in 2020.

1. Life, I suppose, goes on.

For what it's worth my guess is that, if re-elected, Cheeto would kick the bucket very shortly afterwards due to his own basket-case health.

So I imagine we'd be stuck with President Dense Pence (wither the thought!).

In short - and as you know - we must win this one.

[demtenjeep]

2. we really have no other choice

3. Not to worry... Bernie's got this!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I feel so much better now.

[dhol82]

5. Really?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

18. Yes, really... just watch.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!! or
Elizabeth & Bernie 2020!!
Either way, welcome to the revolution!!!

6. "if that happens America really will be over as we know it."

They weren't able to end America "as we know it" when they had the House and Senate why would they if things continue as they are now with Democrats controlling the House?

[zipplewrath]

7. Because they won't stop him

The problem here is that this man has no respect for the constitution and the GOP senate will not stop him at all. There will be no veto overrides nor any impeachments. And with no follow on election of which to consider he will just do whatever he wishes and no one will be able to stop him.

[PoliticAverse]

10. The majority of things Trump & the Republicans would like to do require the passage of bills...

and they couldn't even repeal the ACA when they had the House and Senate.

[zipplewrath]

11. He'll just do it by fiat

And no one will stop him.

[a kennedy]

8. I SWEAR TO GAWD I WILL KILL MYSELF....

I won’t but damn it....

[BigmanPigman]

9. People will move to a different country

and others will kill themselves. Possibly someone will have had enough of his BS and go after him themselves with anything available to them. I am being realistic. It will not be pretty.

[jcgoldie]

12. ...

[barbtries]

13. then it will be even worse. you are correct

i guess we'll all have to choose then what we do in the event. i swore in Nov2016 that i will not be a good german, so the die is cast for me. RESIST to the end.

[safeinOhio]

14. 4 six gallon tanks of gas

Will get me across Lake Huron.

[emmaverybo]

15. Americans survived genocide, slavery, Jim Crow laws, the 1918 epidemic, wars...as people in

other countries have survived the Holocaust, Stalin, communist invasions, apartheid, as Kashmir has survived the loss of 100,000 in the past 18 years...we will fight. We will hold on to the shards of democracy and fight as we fought the Vietnam war. As Indians fought for independence, as Rwandan survivors fight for justice and to find a way to live among the killers of their families.

It will be terrible, but we will stay and fight for the migrant families, for those who can’t fight for themselves. Go to another country? We will all want to, but if we all go, who is left to fight for the ones who can’t?

Our democracy is not worth fighting for?

We will survive and we will fight.

[NCLefty]

16. If that happens then I don't think I ever really understood the concept of America.

... what it was sold to me as, what I learned in school growing up here. That, or we're just really off track right now.

In any case, if it can be steered in this direction, it can be steered back. That's a lot of work and we might not see the rewards in our lives but we'll have to try.

[demtenjeep]

21. That is meIt is so hard to teach how it is SUPPOSED to work when it so clearly is not

Kids are paying attention to what we DO more than what we say

[Buckeyeblue]

17. The following would happen

1. SC probably becomes 6-3 for the crazies
2. Abortion rights in many states would end
3. Marriage equality out the window
4. ACA would be damaged beyond repair
5. While no real legislation gets through, damage is done with even more tariffs
6. Federal judges continue to be confirmed
7. The administration continues to ignore the rule of law
8. Environmental standards continue to be eroded
9. The Russians continue unchecked
10. NATO might not survive or the Dreamers

Would the country survive? Who knows. Probably. We have two big coasts that make trade easy. But the country would be battered.

[Crunchy Frog]

19. Game over. I'll just watch it all fall apart as long as I can

And hope my kids will be able to eventually get out.

[elocs]

20. We will have 1 and only 1 real chance to remove Trump from office and that's to beat him next year.

If not, the America as we know it is over. It's as simple as that.
So no pouting because your candidate did not get the nomination and no purity tests--everybody supports and votes for the nominee of the Democratic Party.

[Stuart G]

22. It won't happen. Trump is a total liar. Trump will lose or may not run.

He is a mean, vicious, liar. If he runs, he looses. Everyone knows what he is, who he is... If he resigns, maybe Pence will win, but there will be a better chance of a snowball in hell.
...Most..say 60-65 percent hate, abhor, dislike, despise, and are repulsed by him. Trump will not win.. Who knows what dirt will be exposed in the next year or so. Trump cannot, will not win. If he takes over illegally, there will be a way to remove him. He won't do that either. He may announce in Jan or February that he is not running. Trump is not well, and his family knows it.

...I do not think he will run for reelection. But I don't know nothing.. I have been wrong before, and will be wrong again. but I am saying this now. And we will see.
