What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

And the handling of the situation in PR is reprehensible.

Yip and it don't mean shit until the GOP finds its courage.

Which is why I dread the apathy of liberals, who seem as convinced now as they were before the election, that Trump's mediocrity will make him go away on its own.

And this base support is unshakable. It is not susceptible to reason. No scandal, however great, will dislodge it - because he has invaded his followers' minds and psyches as profoundly as he has the rest of ours. He is fused with them more deeply now, a single raging id, a force that helps us understand better how civilized countries can descend so quickly into barbarism. In a country led by a swirling void, all sorts of inhibitions slowly slip away. Nativism, racism, nationalism: these are very potent catalysts of human darkness. Usually it is the president who takes responsibility when these demons appear to emerge, and attempts to refute, or discredit or calm them. But this one amps them up. That is why we have the astonishing scenario of his two predecessors trying to do what he cannot. They know the fire he is playing with. And they have some sense of responsibility. He has absolutely none.

I'm feeling like it was a mistake to be tolerant of backward views.

I don't know if I know any on the left who have expressed this viewpoint recently.

They certainly don't tolerate you.

That's your greatest character flaw: excessive tolerance.

I tolerate a lot of things. Doesn't mean I like them.

Hillary wasn't even the second-worst candidate in the last 2 election cycles.

That's a rather low bar. It's possible Trump wasn't in the bottom two either.

Trump was probably the worst presidential primary candidate from a major party in the last 25 years.  I'm only delineating the time because I'm not that familiar with the primary candidates from before then.

No it's not

An Uncle Ben presidency would have been a very different type of nightmare.

At least he doesn't think he's a wizard.

Yeah, he's why I said probably rather than definitely.

Trump rages on Twitter at Clinton and Russia inquiry 'witch hunt'
29 October 2017

US President Donald Trump has launched a Twitter tirade about the "guilt" of Hillary Clinton and the opposition Democratic Party.

His Sunday morning outburst came amid reports that the first arrest in the Russian collusion inquiry would be made this week, possibly as early as Monday.

Mr Trump issued a series of four tweets on Sunday morning:
"Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?),....
"...the Uranium to Russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more. Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia,....
"...'collusion,' which doesn't exist. The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R's...
"...are now fighting back like never before. There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!"

About an hour later he tweeted: "All of this 'Russia' talk right when the Republicans are making their big push for historic Tax Cuts & Reform. Is this coincidental? NOT!"
