If Trump is half the disaster I think he will be, I expect a R to challenge him.
Interesting to see if the D's learn a lesson and nominate a centrist. Not that I want it, but this country leans left center. Seems like they could dominate the White House if they stay away from the far left.

Would be nice if the Libertarian party nominated actual libertarians next time around.

We never win. Ever.
Congress votes against allowing us to buy drugs from Canada. Why they even have a say in it is beyond me. Alleged free market conservatives turn their back on us, and the free market. Alleged "for the little people" dems tun their back.
When you look at the scope of politics, it's always a vote for tyranny. Regardless of the letter next to their name.
We never win.

Congress votes against allowing us to buy drugs from Canada. Handful of Dems on this vote as well. This is (hopefully) going to come up when Cory Booker announces his presidential ambitions in a couple years. Absolutely disgraceful whether you're a libertarian or a bleeding heart. |

Only a few hours left until the biggest question mark in political history begins. I personally think he'll be a disaster. Not that I thought he was a beacon of freedom or anything, but there was a chance he would surround himself with some of the more mild Republicans and maybe end the drone wars, boots on the ground, invasions, etc. Doesn't look to be the case, although he doesn't seem interested in war with Russia, which separates him from the Graham/McCain wing. Maybe he can hold them off.
Three and a half hours until the nuke codes are in his hands.

I have this sense he's not going to do much of anything. He's never appeared interested in any sort of policy. Most of the power seems like it'll reside with his cabinet and GOP house/Senate. Who will do a lot.

Well if that Slate article was true about him offering Kasich the VP slot and all the power, your theory is probably correct. I could see him resigning in two and a half years out of boredom.

Maybe there will be a national awakening and a demand that the power of the executive branch be severely limited (as it was intended) for ALL presidents, not just the one people didn't vote for.

So everyone seems to hate the Obamacare repeal bill.

They managed to actually make it worse. There's a reason it was done in secret with armed guards blocking the doors. If I didn't know any better I'd think they were all dem operatives who were charged with making the public think fondly of the original Obamacare.
Trump hinted this morning insurance companies would be allowed to compete across county lines. But not for a few years. which means never.

So Trump has actually put Marines in Syria.
Jesus.
