2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumCan we all, just for one thread and without angst, enjoy the Trump implosion?
Putting aside all existential concerns, these last few weeks have been truly amazing. Just keep bringing it you tiny-handed, combed-over Oompa-Loompa.

(22,037 posts)I can't wait for the next Trumpism. I can't help checking various news outlets every couple of hours to see what The Donald has done lately. I scour the internet for all things Trump. It's an unending stream of something dangerous that I can't avoid.
I hope that when he's defeated, the media will let me down gently by slowly diminishing their coverage of him, weaning me of my latest addiction. Otherwise I may need professional help!
All in all, though, I LOVE IT!!!

80 million a month buys tons of trump water and fills every trump hotel/real estate venue "rented" to the Republican campaign.

(15,238 posts)Each election cycle seems to get worse or is that the consequence of unrestricted money poured into campaigns for people with unrestricted ambitions? Trump is the result of unfettered ambition with the sole value of personal profit. He is a living Civilization extinction event. People willing to support such cause will walk among us even when this nightmare ends. You cannot live off the wealth of those at the top of the pyramid a point that crashes Civilizations through out human history. I plan to celebrate a Trump loss if it happens but realize another one is waiting in the wings and could be worse.

(10,252 posts)What the 1%ers fail to understand is that we all succeed and do better, when we ALL succeed and do better. I attribute the phenomena of unfettered wealth acquisition to the human capacity for greed. Combine that with the lies and hate and fear-mongering of the strongman argument, and eventually the pyramid of power loses its support from below.

Wishes really do come true!

(450 posts)This disdain has gone on for too long and the RNC needs a reboot and go back to their original values.
I would much rather debate valid working policies then the nonsense Trump is spewing.

(2,474 posts)...I wish I knew how to quit you."
ChairmanAgnostic
(28,017 posts)Because there is a very good chance that Trump will quit the race in time for a serious candidate to replace him. That would shift the attention to Camp Hillary, although they have done OK so far.
Be careful what you wish for. We already live in exciting times.

(6,437 posts)For all practical purposes, the last feasible time to get a replacement in is mid-August (True drop dead is September 1st, but after mud-August that candidate is severely crippled.) And it is the fifteenth today.
They're stuck.
