You!

What would you do

if Donald Trump was the democratic nominee last fall.

Do you put on the hat?

Do you vote GOP?

Do you get really sad and drunk?

Things to consider: Everything you know currently about Donald Trump, with him slightly favoring democratic positions instead of shitlording about race.

His candidacy only worked because he said off-the-wall things that tricked the media into giving him free publicity

Attacking immigrants wouldn't work with Dem primary voters, so it would have to be something else: something that was Totally Crazy and You Can't Say That! and All Sensible, Serious People Agree Trump Has Really Stepped In It This Time! But not-so-secretly, most of the American people want it. On the right, that's immigration enforcement. On the left, it's Single Payer.

Unlike the GOP, the Senate Dems are too cowardly to eliminate the filibuster for their healthcare plan. A couple of Democucks (that would be a word in this alternate history, I am worldbuilding here) vote Nay but it doesn't matter, they don't get anywhere near 60 votes anyway.

So Obamacare remains in place, and nothing else is different either because he's just a self-aggrandizing rear end in a top hat and that's where his real values are anyway, bing bing bong

Oh god

Wouldn't crooked Hillary use her status as an insider to dump Trump?

And then he'd just run as a third party oh lord

And then he'd either win, or the vote split three ways would have seen another 2000 stump-gently caress with the horsefucker house or the goddamn supreme court deciding things

I like how he bragged about how he "could win the presidency" due to these polls he ran dating back to the late 80's.

He kept saying this repeatedly and no one actually was like "Huh. I could see that". The assumption was he'd burn out Ross Perot style or something. Hell guys were egging him on to do so because everyone though it would be a flaming poo poo show that would be fun to watch.

...

Except...whoops. Turns out he was uh...right. Ross Perot was to Trump, what Barry Goldwater was to Reagan.

Dems hate immigrants possibly more than the GOP does. They just say it's for economic reasons they have to put kids in detention camps and only let you get temporary work visas that make it so you get paid less and have less legal protections than foreign tourists

Who'se his VP? A republican controlled house and senate would have begun impeachment proceedings January 21st and dems would be more likely to go along with it because they love their precious loving decorum and reaching across the aisle.

a democratic win would likely not have resulted in a fully republican controlled house, and senate

which would result in trump bein' the dem's mess instead of ours

most likely, they would have bit the bullet and impeached him themselves, because :airquote:bipartisanship:airquote:
