get this straight for those who say he can't, he will demand "something" that will have some type of military/police/armed forces to keep us from doing anything or saying anything against anything he does. When you see more guns wondering around your town or city and you and everybody else is getting "eyed" for all movements and listened to for all we say or asked about what we say then you will know that your or his idea of martial law is not the same but for him it does not matter what you think.

I clicked Rec. You see my subject line. Having said that, I am thinking this over because it huggies on whether the unholy trinity (priebus, ryan, pence) or the brown shirts (bannon, mainly, and company) begin to have a notable advantage over the other.

I debated stating that I also hesitate because of the shocking outcome of the repub primaries and the general election. But then it occurred to me, I am not sure exactly how to weigh the shift in what putin and russian mafia have to influence now. They have executive orders, horrifyingly, instead of voters and electronic voting systems. I am not sure if that falls completely under the brown shirts' efforts (in above-mentioned battle) or if it has its own direct effects.

By the way, besides waiting on public opinion of trump to fall further, and besides waiting until trump helps their agenda, the other big reason that the unholy trinity is sticking by trump is because of bannon.

Anyway, good survey you're running. I hope to come back to answer it before you're finished!

before they get some nice men in white coats to lead him quietly away as they release a story about some sort of physical health crisis.

They'll want Pence eligible to serve 2 full terms after he replaces Trump.

So I clicked "we're fucked" because we are.

f'd no matter what. I have fine-tuned my guesses b/c ryan and company (or, from white house perspective, ryan/preibus/pence) can get done what they want with pence. Actually, their easiest route is just Pence. Next easiest -- trump but w/o bannon. But bannon is huge problem for them. They struggle to control trump as long as bannon is there. Plus I think they hold the same fears the rest of us do about bannon (and flynn and putin).

That is my very general guess, anyway. And of course bannon may hold out two years or longer, in which case don't know what unholy trinity will do.

Anyway, you are absolutely correct, all of us saying ths are, that we are screwed.

Take care, and thanks for setting this up for us! I'm going to check it from time to time.
