I must admit, in the liberal fevered dream scenario where Donald Trump is handcuffed on national TV and arrested for treason, Trump's rising poll numbers might be hurt.

Speaking of tax returns, what exactly was the plan to abolish the IRS supposed to accomplish? Wouldn't some other organization have to be around to review / process tax returns and ensure idiots didn't just write in 'give me $100000 thx lol' on their postcard-sized returns?

lol if you think the intelligence services of this country are going to let him become president. If he doesn't somehow get indicted before this whole thing is over, he'd better stay away from book depositories and grassy knolls.

the plan is to never actually abolish it, but just use it to get votes and feed the general "taxes = bad" starve the beast dynamic the GOP has

Pretty much the same dynamics the Republicans have been using with abortion for the past few decades. With the same outcome: people who have grown up with this rhetoric and never got the "it's all a ruse" memo will eventually get into power and then we've got women being jailed for having miscarriages and people actually trying to drown federal agencies in whatever bathtub is handy.

Although, based on everything we've seen thus far over the past 12 months, the most likely outcome would be Trump somehow becoming the Nelson Mandela of our time.

The optics of "ruling party arrests opposition leader for treason over a joke" would be a yuuuuge rallying point for Trump, even among undecided voters.

Short of maybe an FEC slap on the wrist nothing can or will be done. Nothing matters.

Oh man. Since the terrifying LOCK HER UP show trial last week, the predictable response to any calls that Trump should perhaps face consequences for what is at the very least an open suggestion that a federal crime be committed by a foreign power will have to be "Oh sure, NOW it's okay to call for the imprisonment of your political opponents." This includes the actual government doing so because, of course, the Obama Administration are firmly on the side of his rival for the 2016 election.

Trump is basically either incredibly stupid and incredibly lucky or the greatest manipulator of public perception of the past hundred years, and I cannot decide which.

the mess over welfare "reform" leads me to believe that conservatives might have a hard time assuming good faith on the part of people interacting with a government system that deals with their money

but on the other hand, taxation is theft, so...

If part of his campaign came forth with confessions/evidence that the Trump campaign was colluding with a foreign power it would be negligence for the administration to not arrest him. You don't gently caress around with treason.
