    He was hoping Trump wouldn't run again.

    I'm talking about if they do away with it. They have been taking about getting rid of it for years. They haven't this far and hopefully they don't cause a lot of people who have worked hard all their lives will be screwed.

    Our system works regardless if i like the results or not. No fucking way trump will become a dictator. As long as dems learn from how they fucked up, a dem will be back.

    We shall see. The hope and the likelihood is the system will work and stop him, but he has a lot of control.

    I know if he tries there will be riots the likes of which have never been seen before.

    That's the kind of thinking that allows things like dictators happen.

    When you aren't vigilant and you always think you're safe is when you become vulnerable.

    No offense, but four years ago no one thought that we'd have an insurrection and that the person that orchestrated it would get off scott free.

    And that, mind you, was before SCOTUS essentially gave POTUS unlimited power.

    The good thing is even with the Senate, Congress, and Supreme Court (and oh he's going to do some wicked shit with their help) he can't change the constitution without a 2/3 vote. He won't get that.

    Not quite, but immunity goes a long way.

    Oh, heck, Craig, you don't think with immunity and a little imagination you or I couldn't parlay that into political godhood?

    I think Trump just lacks the imagination and his ego won't let him listen enough to others to go full Caesar, but he has a royal straight flush if he sees it. He's got the popular vote, Senate, House and SCOTUS.

    Eh. Details. Give me a week and a good set of Constitutional resources and it'd look like getting out of a speeding ticket.

    Like I said, it goes a long way. If one wanted too sure, but I don't care for Godhood or a political career.
