(11,686 posts)without other Republicans. They are like the Borg and have one collective thought. They would not know how to handle independent thinking. They might start out with some independent thinking but they end up like Lemmings.

(1,429 posts)I soooo hope we do not lose Brown he is truly a progressive lion, but Ohio is trending so Republicans and 2018 is an off year midterm, and Dems simply do not GOTV usually for shit in off year election, whilst the Rethugs will be turbo charged, as they make a push for 60 seats.
Hopefully Trump has already gotten into huge trouble by then, and has pissed off 2/3rds of the nation.

(8,003 posts)But only the like minded notice so far. McCain has said there will be NO torture, but no one will pay any attention.
I think we will have to scream for investigations of his finances and his double dealing business/government. It's ironic that they have planned all along to do what they kept accusing the Clintons of doing. I'm amazed at the boldness with which he blunders into everything.
I do think if he continues to keep the press away (and it serves them right since they built him up) they will try to take him down.
Can't see much of anything succeeding at this point, though.

(678 posts)Especially after some who speak strongly against him go "missing", or are randomly assassinated. "It was a robbery gone wrong".....Yeah Right. I am not a proponent of CT, but in these times, who knows what the fuck will occur. I really hope I am wrong in even suggesting this.

(22,236 posts)Early on in the primaries, the neo-cons seemed to think Trump was a liberal in disguise because of his past positions on abortion, his past positions on healthcare (He once supported universal healthcare), and more than a few other alleged "liberal" positions he has taken in the past.
While it's highly unlikely, wouldn't it be a something if it was some of those asshole tea party dipshits who came to the rescue?
OP, I highly doubt it would be the Bushes. After all, Trump could be their only chance to have someone else take W's place as worst president in history.
