Whether Trump wins or loses it means big changes for the Republicans. If he wins it will shake up the party that much more and the fallout will be harder. If he wins it means that not just a Democrat will win in 2020 but someone far to the left of Hillary.
That's lefty democrat wishful thinking.

Hillary is nothing more than kicking the can down the road until all out revolution.
Trump may not be the answer, but Hilary definitely isn't and she would be criminally unstoppable as POTUS- like Aussie, she should never be allowed to hold the keys.

Depends who you mean by republicans. I mean the term has almost lost meaning now and there's really no good outcome for the republican party as we know it, regardless. By "republicans" do you mean the congressmen and senators? Do you mean the voters who nominated Trump? Surely you don't include Trump himself when you talk about "the Republicans"?

Trump's ascendancy is a result of the fact that a majority of votes, support and power are held by a few anti-establishment mavericks who are not so much aligned with the party as they are aligned against the democratic establishment. However, it's impossible to combine an anti-establishment maverick narrative whilst being a team player, so the party will remain fractured.

And holy fuck is it fractured! I mean we seriously have a situation where literally half of the republican senators and congressmen refuse to endorse the republican candidate for president. Think about that - because that is really unusual. I'm not talking about Bernie votes failing to get enthusiastically behind Hillary - which has also happened, but the actual congressmen themselves are going to vote against their own candidate.

And he still might win! What does that say? I mean, what do you think will happen to those congressmen if Trump wins? The republicans, as we currently know them, will be no more.

On the other hand, if Trump loses by a little but and the GOP keeps the house then it will pretty much be business as usual for republican members of congress. They'll drop Trump as a figurehead but most will keep their jobs and their staff whether they endorsed Trump or not. After realising how vulnerable Clinton really was and what a missed opportunity this was (I mean under someone like Rubio they would have smashed it), they may even find someone they can paint as a "maverick" and quit cutting each other's throats before the next primary.

Well I predicted Trump would win, because Americans are angry and Trump represents the best protest vote going. With the latest polls putting him in front, I gather it'd be hard to find someone willing to be against my prognostication.

An oft asked question outside U$A is "Why couldn't either side come up with better candidates?"

Well like I've stated before, the Republicans only want to govern when economic times are good, so they can take credit for prosperity and blame the Democrats when things are economically poor.
And currently according to the economic gurus things are up the shit and are likely to remain so for the near future.

So really Trump only got up because the Republicans didn't want to present an acceptable candidate and never expected the economically depressed white majority to rally to his cause so enthusiastically.
The majority of blue collar whites are just as dirty on the Republicans as they are on the Democrats, and this is their way of getting back at both.
Clinton only got up because the political class figure "It's her turn".

Meanwhile everyone who imagines they're someone is scaremongering about inevitable disaster if/when Trump wins. But I reckon not too much will change. He will be briefed and the Intelligence agencies will tell him who's really boss and how he should tow the line, or be disposed of. And then it will be back to BAU.
If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?

Trump wining would be worth it just to see him destroy the climate alarmism industry and to watch regressive lefty heads explode.

It's going to be glorious.

I'll give you the same bet Mr Peccary has offered at another place.

If Trump wins, I'll leave here voluntarily and forever. If Clinton wins, you do the same.

Deal?

NOIQ, how about you? You up for the same bet? No socks. I leave or you leave, depending on who wins. Trump wins...I go. Clinton wins, you go.

Trump may not be the answer, but Hilary definitely isn't and she would be criminally unstoppable as POTUS- like Aussie, she should never be allowed to hold the keys.

the demographic that supports Trump is shrinking rapidly. by 2020 it won't be large enuf to re-elect Trump or anyone like him.

Polls are saying the opposite.

You can't be trusted to not create socks.
You also lie.

You'll have to raise the stakes. If Trump wins, you will upload a live feed of you shooting yourself in the face.

As ever. You have nothing.

All mouth. Nothing else. Take the bet. What do you lose?
