What if Trump is elected President?

When Trump announced his candidacy I really thought that by now he would have flamed out and be out of the running for the Republican nomination. However, he continues to lead the field despite the utter lunacy of the things he says so I have to think the nomination is now his to lose. The Dem candidate will destroy him in the debates, but it may not matter as those who support him seem to operate in a fact optional world. Assuming the absolute worst and he's elected President, does he finish his first term or not. Whether yes or no, let me know how you think it the first term goes in my poll.

I can't even consider this.

For God's sake get out and vote, people, and blow this Klown away with our overwhelming power.

It's the only way.

That's why so many Repubs jumped in.

If W can get re-elected anyone can.

I really didn't think anyone would select it, let alone two .. correction...three people. I think I'd self-deport if he got a second term - and I'm a US citizen.

with daily routines to get upset by this kind of stuff. I will work for our candidate for president and for our party come the time. I see no reason now to be in a state of panic. We need to take some deep breaths...
