Half the country isn't going to suddenly become sane again on November 6.

You think he's gonna die on Nov 6th?

Just pointing out that the country “coming back together” is a long way off, measured in years if not decades.

And we can hope he lives that long.

I don’t want to lose such a good steward of humanity any more than the next decent person, but at the same time I feel like if anybody deserves to “rest” it would be President Carter.

Idk once you hit like 80, in general, existing itself becomes torture with how your body fails you. Not exactly a torture Carter is deserving of.

If Trump loses, again, I'm betting he gets the hot potato treatment. It'll be like Nixon all over again. Today's supporters will dial it way down.

"Well, yeah, I kinda liked the guy, but I was never crazy about him."

That's pretty optomistic. At every single turn, the guy does or says something that would have completely tanked anyone else's entire political career, and it's still a nailbiter for the presidency. And this has been going on for a decade.

Trump isn't Nixon, and the electorate isn't the same as the early 1970s. This is a whole new ballgame.

Agreed on ALL that! But Trump can't lose again. He'll have no chance at the office again and his legal and mental problems will continue to spiral down the drain.

It's not the immorality that will turn people off, it's the losing. American's don't like failures and conservatives hardly root for the underdogs.

Half? I think you’re being optimistic…

I’m thinking everyone will lose it. No matter who wins
