Just wait until the emails come out revealing that Clinton asked Obama not to nominate so that she could. Just joking but wouldn't that be something.

Because as people have said they have their man as VP and a huge part of the Republican electorate has gone back and forth with Trump already and have had to bite their tongue.

I don't think I have been challenged on any of those points yet.

You have the reasoning of a five year old. If they were capable of getting away with impeaching him, they would have just not let him get nominated in the first place. Trump is going to rubber stamp everything they put in front of his desk, and any of the crazy poo poo he wants to do on top of that they'll completely go along with 100% because they're all afraid of getting primaried.

What do you think a stroke is?

You really think that they'll go after their own President, who is massively popular with their base, so that they can put a near non-entity into power? And this is your argument for voting Trump, not an argument for voting against him? Really?

Look, Clinton will be worse than Trump, because Trump will be stymied at every turn by a responsible Republican legislature, but Clinton is somehow so corrupt, that she'll be able to bypass that check... somehow, and institute a thousand years of liberal darkness. On the other hand, Trump will definitely be impeached, and then they'll have Pence as president, who agrees with everything they want, and they'll all work together to institute their hideously awful agenda. Vote Gary Johnson, who is just a Pence who doesn't know what the Middle East is and wants to smoke weed.

Gorthaur the Appropriately Pragmatic In Interrogation Techniques has impeccable credentials on defense and homeland security, and was one of the greatest surveillance technology pioneers of his time.

I'm not saying he'd be a great President, but he drat sure deserves a spot in the Clinton Cabinet.

The two party system is a brilliant political theater to lock our country in place. We have representatives in the Senate and Congress since the 1950s, 95% are lawyers. All they do all day is lawyer-talk each other in public all day, then laugh and joke in private all night. Politically, our country is in the same place is was half a century ago. Arguing about women's equality, the environment, and middle east oil.

You want to put Hillary Clinton in charge, she is the definition of status quo.

Let's get 4 or 5 parties or more into the mix and then we can have a government that represents us like the best parts of the rest of the world.
You forgot the part where you explain how voting for Trump and locking in a GOP SCOTUS for the next twenty years is going to change any of that, and also to the extent electing Trump would change things up, you've failed to show how it would change anything for the better.
