That's right. It's all on them now.

Come mid January their president will be the obstruction.

I don't believe most citizens understand that our elected officials are the government.

I'm concerned with him running true to form, bailing when it all goes wrong and skipping with the assets, leaving his investors holding the bag.

I was thinking about that, too. I know how that looks in private business but I don't know how it would play out in government.

He'd be just the guy to pull a Palin as president.... As I've said before, Pence, being an actual Republican politician, may actually be worse in some ways.

That is the truly scary part, he knows how the car this dog caught works and what he can do with it.

Edit: Clinton lost the election in FL and PA. She would've still lost in both states even if she got every Stein vote.

Agree TJ has sufficient mental horsepower. I still say he made a dumbshit post, and I remain very much not in the mood.

You are showing your own brand of dumbshittery by including Stein only in the anti-Trump category.

Oh hell. If you think the repubs last 8 years was obstructionist, you ain't seen nothing yet. I have no doubt the Dems won't even wait until January 20 to start raising hell.

Many of the establishment Republicans both in and outside of congress despise Trump and wanted him to lose big. It's going to be interesting to see how they handle this.

And you'll have no reason to bitch if they follow McConnell's lead from 8 years ago.

It'll be interesting to see if establishment-type Republicans (Graham, Ryan, Sasse, Flake, McCain, etc.) put up any meaningful resistance to Trump's harebrained ideas.
