ya know. It's not Trump that scares me. What scares me is finding out just how many simple minded idiots there actually are in this country. That's what scares me.
That's what I was thinking when Obama got elected, especially the second time.
Agreed, but look at the alternative. And look now, the republican front runner is not in the old boy club.
The republicans CAUSED Obama to get elected by trying to appeal to a contingent that doesn't exist - religious nuts. I am probably as conservative as a moderate can be but I believe you do not teach ANY religio in public schools and there should be abortomats on every streetcorner. Well not quite but at least as many as there are fast food places.
Republicans make a few fatal mistakes that Trump might not. He says he is against abortion but so would any other republican. GW Bush had two terms and he didn't get it outlawed. The fact is none of these people are religious, they want to appeal to the religious. Been to a church lately ? Attendance is way down. People are abandoning religion and I believe that a natural phenomenon.
Now we got Trump who wants to try tariffs n shit to stimulate industry, but he will not be able to do it without congress. And congress does not like him. But the thing is, shit is so fucked up we don't know if Obamacare is a tax or not, just tax imports. It is not a tariff, it is a tax. The problem is that unless he puts forth an EO that the supreme court does not shut down, he needs congress to put something on his desk to do this. What kind of odds you figure on that ?
If I were he and got the big chair, I would go public and right on TV call on congress to put proper legislation on his desk. But they are ALL bought and paid for by the type of rich people who are the same as ever, liberal with what is ours and conservative with what is theirs. Not that Trump isn't. To test a person, give them power. You never know until you do.
But still, the President s one of five hundred people who shape the laws here. The major thing about a President is that he can start a war. Hillary Clinton has said she would start a war. Unless people's memories are even shorter than we think, this cripples her in the election.
Gonna be fun to watch how this all plays out.
