    If Trump were in prison it would be someone else. Trump didn’t start this fascist movement, he surfed it. Trump is a uniquely detestable person, but he’s not the worst President the Republican party could come up with.

      Nah, it takes time to build up a cult of personality. What Republican could step into that role and stay in the news in the same way? Schwarzenegger? He can’t be your president, name literally one other person.

        Against Biden or Harris? I think you’re overestimating how hard they were to beat. Another Republican might not win the popular vote but, unlike Democrats, Republicans don’t need a mandate to get things done.

            That’s an unfair question. It’s just too easy to nitpick reasons why this candidate or that could never win. Just look at the list of very convincing reasons why Trump could never win. Most Democrats even believed most of them before Hillary flopped.

            Nikki Haley would probably be their best choice, though I could see Marco Rubio or Lindsey Graham. Hell, Matt Gates could probably win. He’s no more horrific than Trump.

              Yeah maybe Haley. All of those people did have a major failure on one point, they decided to punch up at some point. Trump doesn’t punch up, he insinuates he’s an equal to people he perceives to be more powerful than him. He’ll fondle the balls so he can reap the benefits of that power.

      For all of Trumps numerous flaws, he does have a type of charisma that no other Republican has. Trump manages to attract more people than just another Republican ghoul could. I honestly think without Trump we’d have had a much easier time winning.

      Thanks Hillary and the DNC for signalboosting this piece of shit because you thought he was an easy opponent to beat…
