So, just speculating here, do you think DT would find a reason to lock up Obama should he win?

Same for Clinton, Biden, certainly Seth Myers who destroyed him at the press dinner. I just think this guy is so vindictive he would try.

Thoughts?

We still have an independent court system so I'm not too worried. Anyhow, Trump will win when I see airborne swine in the skies above me.

Even *if* the unthinkable happens and Drumpf wins, the Constitution doesn't allow him to be a dictator and jail his political opponents.

I believe for that reason, should he somehow win, he would quit out of frustration that everyone simply won't do what he says.

"fingered" by the conservatives they work with, and summarily terminated if not shipped off to Trump gulags.

Then it will start happening in the private sector, and there will be no legal recourse because Trump will control the courts.

... like having all the Oval Office furniture gilded, and having the walls replaced with marble.

You can't rule a country like this while sitting in a dump, amiright?

The most important thing to that swarmy POS is revenge for all real and imagined attacks against his lowly ass.
