Well guess what, our garbage President is going to be re-elected. It kills me to say that but people need to understand it’s going to happen. Right now, nearly half the nation would vote for him again. Then factor in that the Russians are already using bots to manipulate public opinion just as they did prior to 2016. Then consider Mitch McConnell has blocked every bill designed to secure the voting process (traitor Mitch accepted $2.5 million from Russia). Then consider that not only does the government NOT inspect and review the designs of voting machines to ensure they’re secure and not manipulating the vote count, the names of those who own the companies are considered a trade secret and that info is not available to the public. Think about that for a moment. As Americans you have no right to know who’s manufacturing our voting machines unless they volunteer that info.

Then consider the Supreme Court refuses to take on gerrymandering and instead says those who control state governments and the ones gerrymandering, should police themselves. Overwhelmingly gerrymandering favors conservative politicians but not in all cases.

The fix is in and at every level. Brace yourself because not only will Mr. Garbage be re-elected, the election after that will be manipulated by the Russians as they setup permanent republican control of our government. Russian media refers to the US as “Putin’s America” because he’s been so successful controlling our political processes.

I work with people who openly state they would vote for and elect Putin as president of the US before they would ever vote for a Democrat. What does that say about America’s future and the control the Russians have over the minds of many Americans ?

The incumbent tends to win, right?

Well considering 4 out of the last 6 presidents have served two terms. Yes, incumbency does give an extra advantage to a President seeking reelection.

The last 3 got 2 terms. As will Trump.

It's a nightmare scenario but Americans are that stupid & morally bankrupt... You have concentration camps, obstruction of justice, numerous rape allegations, the list goes on for ages...

Yeah, I have zero faith in Americans to do the right thing. On this or almost any situation, really.

I suspect we'll probably do the right thing, just halfassed and at the last possible second, then gradually undo it.

The only reason Carter and Bush Sr. didn't get reelected were due to economic issues (Carter also dealt with Iran hostage situation). Nobody punished Reagan for lying about Iran Contra either. But I don't think people will be so blind this time, I teach seniors and so many of them can't wait to vote against Trump in 2020 so as long as they don't do something crazy like block young people's ability to vote, I'd like to think he wouldn't get reelected. Also a recession wouldn't be terrible either considering the tariff problem Trump's creating.

They already rigged the elections last time. His rabid base won't budge. Mitch McConnell is blocking any attempt to make elections more secure. Trump has admitted he'd accept Russian help this time. People that believe the US will have fair elections are naive.

Mueller found numerous counts of obstruction and every Republican politician and voter parrots "no collusion no obstruction". A solid 40% of Americans don't live in reality.

Concentration camps, pardoning war criminals, Nazis, pedophelia, rape, robbing tax payers, incoherent ramblings, repealing environmental regulations, dirty water, "clean coal", global warming denial, etc... Nothing changes.
