This post isn't about Hillary's "baggage"

Last edited Fri Nov 4, 2016, 09:47 AM - Edit history (1)

Do not the Trump supporters see what is going on in the Republican party with regard to their candidate? Do they really think Trump would last a month in office before he's impeached--by his own party? Ryan, McConnell et al. are not going to let Trump be president, if by some miracle on the order of changing water to wine occurs and he is elected. They began to support him, a little, after the Comey letter, which they apparently believed would be the death knell for Hillary's chances. They began to think, well, yes, he just might be elected, and what will we do then? We'll get rid of him is what we'll do.

They're not going to tolerate him. And now that we know that the FBI is run by Nosferatu, we know that the agency can supply "evidence" of anything the Republicans request, it will be a piece of cake to impeach and convict Trump, maybe even to put him in jail.

I wish there were a way to get the idea across to the Trump supporters (since their brains are pre-wired to fear this very sort of thing) that their candidate, even if he were to win the election, will never serve as president.

ETA I also wish there were a function in this forum that would block responses from posters who read only the title of the post they're responding to.

How could she be expected to move her belongings back into the White House without it?

Nobody read the fucking post. I had no idea that people here were so ready to "respond" to posts they don't read. I'm going to edit.

If any one of you read the entire damn post I'll eat my laptop.

It's not a question of "walking it back"--I had what I thought was an interesting point to make about Trump, but nobody read the fucking post. I eliminated the first paragraph because apparently you Evelyn Wood graduates were stopping after (maybe) reading that.

I'm really disappointed in you guys. I expect more from Democrats.

You wrote it.

Go back and read it.

If you start a thread with "Hillary has baggage" and contine on to say that it is "voluminous baggage", expect some fucking pushback. You set up your argument with some nasty strawmen and got called out on it.

You seem to still be pushing the Hillary has baggage bullshit in your last post downthread.

Of *course* her " baggage" such as it is is irrelevant. She is not a saint, but the bad things she's accused of pale in comparison with the bad things Trump has actually said and done. But that wasn't my point; it was merely an introduction to my thought that the Republicans would never let Trump be president anyway, that if they're threatening to impeach Hillary on day one, why on earth would the Trump supporters think old-guard Republicans like McConnell and Ryan wouldn't move to impeach Trump on day one?
