Some might, but a lot hate Trump and they will quite happily do anything to get rid of him or at least make as much of his power and influence as impotent as possible.

Then cut the hyberbolic crap and get back to your latte.

They have already won. They are united when it comes to dicking over Obama as opposition but there is no incentive to completely fall behind Trump should be attempt to legislate very politically divisive laws now they have a majority.

He cannot nuke anyone unilaterally, he is unable to take such action on his own.

War? Really, so you are going to get your AR-15 and start shooting cops or somesuch? You are so full of shit.

Racist much? Scum. People like you are where the hate is coming from. You don’t like it that some other people out there think differently to you so you attack their race.

No. It IS hyperbole. Well, that and the drink.

He will shortly be very powerful as you say, but he does not have unfettered access to nuclear weapons or indeed shows any sign that we is going to try to have them used on anybody.

Yep, it is an archaic system designed to keep the real decision making out of the hands of the ignorant plebeians.

These are the same Republicans of whom a significant number outright disowned him.

It doesn’t matter if he respects them or not, they are there to check and balance, and will do so whatever Trump may feel like doing. The position of CIC is a powerful one, but it is far from a dictatorship.

Yes, quite right to say there are not enough women in the higher echelons of politics in the States. As for who could be next, if the Trump train doesn’t derail, perhaps Sarah Palin could be a future contender?

Well if she does win the popular vote then it goes to show America IS ready, it is just the anti-democratic system of the EC needs to be removed from the system.

And there are lots and checks and balances to prevent stupid actions by a CIC.

So many people go on about being terrified of him having access to nukes?

Certainly as you say the US system is different, but popularity and charisma have nonetheless played a part in getting women elected or re-elected. Even if you vote for a party rather than an individual leader, the leader of that party will still very much influence your choice.

I don’t think you have a very firm grasp on the checks and balances of the American system.

Have you been reading the same media? Most outlets tore into Trump over many many issues. And what power will Trump have over the free press?

And this would all just disappear in a magic puff of Hillary Dust? People’s ingrained attitudes do not change depending on who is in government.

???????? Are you saying you are so distraught over Trump getting elected that you would cancel getting married?....Jesus wept....
