(146,282 posts)We did not take it, though. While there may have been manipulation of the election, had enough people turned out in enough states to vote for Hillary Clinton, she would now be our President.
Personally, I believe we blew that opportunity in 2016. We had the chance, but let it slip away. Now, we are faced with the consequences of our failure to elect Hillary Clinton to be President. It's shameful, in my opinion, that we let that happen. But, the time for blame is over for that election. We all watched it happen and we know what happened.
We're now stuck with what happened and have to find a way to deal with that. Personally, I'd prefer that we weren't in that situation. But, since we are, then we need to explore our options. Impeachment is a real possibility. Making Trump so uncomfortable in his office that he resigns is another possibility to consider.
Taking away his Republican Congress in 2018 is another goal we could work towards.
My point is that the election is over and now we're stuck with the situation, and wishful thinking about impossible scenarios makes no sense at all. I wish we'd stop doing that and start focusing on what we actually CAN do.
