The American (USA) 2016 presidential elections thread?

[TheDemonLord]

Because ? Come on. At least throw us a bone.

When the majority gets sick and tired of violent revolutionary communists burning down their cities - do you think they are going to elect a moderate candidate or do you think they are going to push back even harder at the undermining of their Country, their Ideals etc?

Trump should be viewed as a warning shot across the bow, that the majority are unhappy with the move to the radical left...

Given that Don is 74 and a little over-weight, what do you think would happen if he just died peacefully in his sleep tonight ?

You'd get Pence....

But that is outside the scope of what I mean - There's a real possibility of someone standing on the same populace ideals that got Trump elected (Being Politically incorrect, refusing to kowtow to the Woke-ariti etc.) but also promising to take a hard-line stance against Rioting, Looting and perhaps 'Un-American activites', then the Radical Left will see the rise of the actual far-right in the inevitable backlash.

Part of me will laugh with glee for it, because they willfully danced down the path of their own destruction
Part of me will weep, because it's likely to have a lot of collateral damage.

The other alternative is that the Populace decide that they have had enough of Violent rioters and decide to fulfill the obligation of the 2nd Amendment, and we've seen hints of this - people arming themselves to defend statues from the Rioters.

The question is, how will the populace split - the Moderate Democrats have been observed tooling themselves up - the stats make for interesting reading - a LOT of first-time Firearm owners (One source I think showed 100+ percent rise in the number of first-time firearm owners) and a lot of people who have previously advocated for Firearm restrictions or simply held that Firearm ownership isn't for them.

Just like Ken and Karen Chadbro - the lifelong middle-class Democrat voter is starting to realise that the Communist Mob WILL come for them too, and that puts them allied with the traditional Republican voter.

Do you only weep over collateral damage when it's inflicted upon Americans?

I didn't specify to what degree or how much.

It's about the same as the part that weeps for other innocent people (in Middle Eastern countries).

Trump had another of his friendly private chats with Putin. He says he didn't raise the subject of Russia placing a bounty on coalition forces in Afghanistan, they talked about other things.

What other things? Another favour for Putin.

Actually, fair enough - Barr should release the report asap. In a really fair World, Trump would release his tax returns too.

Three articles on populism in the US: A little bit of history

Trump has suggested delaying the US election. This had been predicted and when Barr was questioned about it in the Congressional inquiry the other day he mumbled about "the law" but he didn't answer the question.

Apparently the constitution and the US Code are very detailed and specific. The election must be held on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November.

The inauguration date is somewhat less carved in stone, but Trump's term in office ends at noon on the 20th January. At that point, if there has not been an election, the speaker of the house assumes the position until there is an election.

All hail President Pelosi?
