If Hillary and Donald go head to head in the election, it could be a very close race.
Imagine a repeat of the 2000 presidential election with Bush v. Gore decided by weeks of recounts and court battles. It was already a circus, but imagine what it would be like if it were Hillary vs. Trump. And imagine that the Supreme Court battle happens in the current environment, with Judge Scalia’s death and the fight to replace him. And a Tea Party that didn’t exist in 2000.
By all means, scream as long as you want. I’ll wait.
What headlines and Trump tweets would you expect to see?
When bush2 got reelected I was sad but had a good job with good bennies at the time and just punting didn’t seem like a great option over just riding out the 4 years and hoping. The idea of Trump as a president just makes me feel physically ill.
Or he could lead Texas to secede. Could Americans trust him to remain loyal to the country when it was so easy for him to renounce the country of his birth?
Let me flip that around for you, could Americans trust someone who was quick to renounce citizenship in Canada? I think so!
Maybe secession is the answer. I mean, America is composed of lost of different people who were kind of forced together into one mega-nation by colonialists more than a hundred years ago (exceptions noted). Colonialists they voted for, I’ll admit.
Ya, verily. It just disturbs me as I don’t see Gandhi as being on-brand for Drumpf. I receive it as a cynical attempt to co-opt a positive meme in service of his faux underdog status.
Gandhi’s Freedom’s Battle quote seems close enough to be a spiritual grandparent of the sentiment that I can see why so many, including me, wrongly attribute it.
