He'd get one Term and by the end of it we will have taken back the House and Senate right before we take back the Presidency. Donald Trump did tons of damage to the Republican Party during the Primary, is doing tons of irreparabel damage to their Party as the Nominee and would destroy it as President.

It's almost too bad he won't win because the next four years would set us up for the next 40 but we'll have to settle for the slow death of the Republican Party because Hillary is going to crush him. When the voters are in the booth making their decision they'll make the right one.

But he got two terms...and one term is all that is needed to destroy the courts for a generation...which means in four years it won't matter if we get the presidency back. We need to win...in order to stop Trump...because if Trump wins, we don't get the Senate and he has four years minimum to destroy this country and take the courts...he puts the fifth judge on for sure and probably more. No, it is not almost sad. I hope to God Hillary does crush him but it appears the race has tightened. I believe in the end , she will win...the map is completely ridiculous with these nutty polls.

There is no silver lining to a Trump win...consider we would lose health care, most likely civil rights, gay rights, the right to abortion, new overtime rules,unions and that is just off the top of my head. Millions would be round up like cattle and deported...we might be looking at kicking out American citizens...no there is no upside to a Trump win- none.

Four years of Trump would pretty much destroy this country, and I for one won't take that chance. We have to make sure he does not get into the WH. He could do so much damage that we could never fix it, especially if he starts a war, blows up someone he gets pissed at with a nuke, or follows in Hitlers footsteps and locks up everyone who is against him and become a dictator who will never give up his office.

No that kind of thinking that he would help bring in change, or the "revolution" is insane.

In one lifetime is enough for me.
He all but destroyed me and I am just starting to get back up on my feet.

Plus, do I have remind people we have a Supreme Court Justice at stake here.

If we win or lose will depend on our GOTV, period!!
