    I think you need to go beyond simply counting them up and look at look at their significance.

    If that happens, it will be because Congress holds her in check they way they did Bill in the nineties.

    Me and my fellow lefties go through this with Dem after Dem. They talk a good game, but ultimately they are DINOs.

    Are lots of people unhappy with the present government/economic conditions/poverty? Yes, absolutely. And maybe they feel this is the only way to change anything.
    But I think his popularity is because of the huge number of people in this country who don't think through things very much and don't have anyone who is in the middle, and reasonable.
    And probably Hillary's popularity is in part, because of the huge number of people in this country who like getting away with staying poor, having family who are illegals, and who like getting away with being rich in less than fair ways.

    Damn. The horse is out of the barn. What a mess it is. And who in their right mind would ever actually WANT to be president of this country?

    Okay..back to the question about what's the worse thing that could happen if Trump wins. War. Violence. Every other country on this nation pissed at us. Unsurpassed greed. I could go on and on.
    I truly believe this is just a game to Trump. Winning. That's all he's interested in. I don't think he would like being president at all, and I can see him quitting and leaving the country in a huge mess....while he lives out his rich life in some other country.

    Have you seen on the news where he celebrates his victories? Who is with him? ........all his rich friends.....who, along with him, are pretty much disgusted by the type of person voting for him.

    Someone wake me up from this bad dream.
    My sentiments exactly!

    Funny - when it's a Democrat president with a majority Republican congress, the congress is a "moderating influence." But when it's a Republican president with a majority Dem congress, then it's called "obstructionism."
