Some believed Obama would do something to stay in office for a third term.

Obama also didn't joke about staying in office indefinitely like Trump did.

Quote: President Obama

"I actually think I'm a pretty good President. I think if I ran, I could win. But I can't," Obama ad-libbed during a speech in Ethiopia. "There's a lot that I'd like to do to keep America moving. But the law is the law, and no person is above the law, not even the president."



Quite a sense of humor he has. The law is the law. Too funny. <-- sarcasm

Quote: Trump

"He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."



A snarky comment about that last sentence might result in a call from the g-men. At least I said Trump was joking when he said this. Do you think he was serious?

Of course he was serious. Look at who he admires.

Xi, who just became President for life in China.

That murderer in the Phillipines who's a virtual dictator.

And of course Putin, who kills his opposition and independent journalists, and has been in power for about 20 years, either himself or a puppet in front of him.

Gack. We really, really need 2018 to be a backlash and impeach him out of there.

...Gack. We really, really need 2018 to be a backlash and impeach him out of there.

Sadly I don't know if I agree with that... The one thing trump did (or his advisers did) that was actually really smart was to somehow get Pence on the ticket. That guy is a piece of work. If he was the president he would sign anything repealing gay rights of all sorts, probably try to make religion mandatory in schools (only christianity though), and so much worse. Look in to pence a bit more and you'll be like "oh my god this guy is ONE fat heart attack away from being president?!?!" And if we got really crazy the next up would be Paul Ryan. It's a LOOOOOOOOOOOSE fest. At least trump will accomplish virtually nothing, so long as he doesn't get us into a war... Pence would actively try to set this country back 50+ years.

We just need to let all the trumpsters hymm and haw about making 'murica great again then vote donald out overwhelmingly in 2022. At least that's my hope, that the hundreds of millions that didn't vote in the 2018 election realize the mistake and make the effort to correct. Only about half of the "adult" US population voted... 65 mill vs 62 mill (approximately) and we have another, approximate, 125 million that could have voted (at least according to 2014 census data, so it's actually probably higher than that now). Whomever runs against trump just needs to put a highlight reel of the guy saying/doing/being the idiot/racist/rapist/bigot that he is together and just at the end go "Do you really want this s**t to happen again? Seriously... vote this time." The end.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Disaster? He's done some fantastic things. And now North Korea is INITIATING talks. Sure he says some dumb things sometimes. Part of the package. I'll take what He's done over where his competition would be right now any day.

2022

2018 election

Whomever runs against trump...


A triple whammy!

Can’t vote out The Don in 2022 because there’s no presidential election that year. It’d be either 2020 or 2024 (I’m optimistic on a Trump in 2024, too!).

2018 election hasn’t occurred yet. It’s in November, later this year. If they let me, I’ll write in “Donald Trump for president” on the mid-term ballot.

Again, it’s WHOEVER not WHOMEVER.



Idk how it’s all gonna play out in the 2020 election. It’s still like 2.5 years away. But at this rate, I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump wins again (as he should). It seems like a lot of the liberals have quieted down in the recent months, which is nice. Although idk if that’s because more people are shifting towards conservative or the election was so long ago.

I do wonder if the Media was saying stuff like,"Hillary Clinton is way ahead in the polls and Donald Trump is laughingly way behind. Clinton is predicted to win in a landslide victory, she's got it in the bag, " in order to mislead people into not voting at all because they genuinely thought that Clinton was automatically going to be the President.

It seemed she was going to win since Trump was saying really weird,misogynistic, arrogant, racist things. He sounded ignorant. Whereas Clinton sounded smart, concerned, and warm.

People actually said,"I'm not voting this election since the Media says Clinton is predicted to win in a landslide victory anyways."

I personally voted for Clinton anyways because I had a moment of clarity and thought," There is a chance Trump can win,no matter how far ahead the media says Clinton is. I really don't want to be that infamous one vote that caused him to be President. "

A lot of people were in for a rude awakening when Trump won. You could see the shock on their faces. People even said stuff like,"I wish I voted for Clinton. I shouldn't have blindly trusted the media. "
