"There is no other Donald Trump, this is it" - Hillary Clinton

[calimary]

23. Welcome to DU, Pepsidog.

I think you're spot-on in your assessment, from your reply title all the way down to "...we are in for even worse days."

I fear that's exactly how it'll play out, even if we do get rid of trump. There are those here and all over everywhere else who believe that there's enough dirt on Pence that whatever takes trump down will take Pence down with him. I wish that were true but I get the feeling it won't work that way.

I suspect there'd be such a load of relief out there that they lanced the boil and now - let's move on! Let's get back down to business! It's over, we fixed it, problem solved, everybody move on. (Particularly because we now HAVE the "dream president" we've always wanted, at long last! A beady-eyed religious fanatic who is one of us, smooth-talking enough, spouting prayer-filled platitudes, looking all holy and reverent and sanctimonious, and sufficiently well-connected with friends he still has in Congress who will be GLAD to send him bills to sign that turn back the clock on civil rights, women's rights, voting rights, and gay rights, among other things. That way, we can live the dream! Happily ever after back in the 6th Century!)
