I keep having this recurring nacht and daymare, fearing the Trump suddenly turns into an erudite, polite, honed, convincing brilliant debater, (think of William Buckley) who just tried to see how far he could go, before letting us in on his private joke, and that his demeanor will cause Hillary to freak out.
I am 99% sure it won't happen, especially that latter bit, but, everything about this election seasoning has been more than a spice of life, it might actually mean the end of TeaBaggery as we know it.
Assuming that we win the house, the safety of our nation will be extended for a decade, at least. With a living, breathing, moderate or liberal Supreme Court, worker safety, immigrant and accused rights, EPA, and other issues will survive and thrive.
Still, the idea Teh Donald has effectively lost the House of Reptiles and caused it to flail away as a minority as of January, (especially those neighsayers who make up the TeaParty) all I can say is wow. That would be a tremendous situation.
Of course, if you thought that the GOP was obstructive and antagonistic during the past 10-12 years, may I suggest that you haven't seen anything yet. Deplorable will shortly turn into appalling and disgusting.

Not to mention, the day after Hillary wins the election, the republican civil war is on 1000%!

(28,017 posts)first few years, until they were "retired" or quit. Anti-Obama care, anti debt and worse. They did to Obama what Kennedy did to Carter.
And yet, Obama maintained an even keel, even in the face of insults and worse.
