No because if Clinton's presidency goes south that outcome was not
obvious on November 8 2016, but Trump might as well have the word
"catastrophe" tattooed on his forehead. Torturing people, murdering the
children of people you don't like and ignoring elections results just isn't
morally comparable to a bad E-mail server.

 Have a revolution, march on Washington the day after election day to "stop
this travesty". And by "this" he meant reverse the election results of the
previous day.

What good would that do? I can see Trump paraphrasing Stalin (or was it
Andrew Jackson?)
and saying "congress has made their decision, now let them enforce it".
 I keep telling you, the Constipation is a piece of paper not a law of
physics, it only has power if people agree it has power, and just a few
days ago somebody who has one chance in 6 in being the top constitutional
officer made it clear he sees no reason to obey the constitution. And if he
thinks he can get away with that now imagine what he will be like after
being commander in chief for 4 years.

If Clinton is impeached and convicted she will go because she respects the
constitution, but if Trump is impeached and convicted I don't think he's
going anywhere, and just like what he wants to do with Hillary he will
"lock up" anyone in congress who voted for his impeachment. Who's going to
stop him?

It's not important what the Republicans think of Trump today, the
important thing is what the army will think about Trump after 4 years of
him promoting the people he likes.

Yep.
 P
eople say they want politicians to be straight shooters and tell it like it
is, but they don't really want that at all. Hillary told the truth (except
she was being a bit kind when she said only half of T
r
ump supporters were deplorable
) and the voters punished her for it. If telling the truth got votes then
politicians would tell the truth, but it doesn't so they don't.

People who are fools and or sociopaths, aka Trump supporters.

I have a hunch "I'm 
such a nasty woman
" T-shirts are selling better.
