Actually - this could be a fun game. Who would win each bracket and go up against Trump?

I wouldn't seed Trump automatically in yet.

I have a feeling that one or more Old-school republicans will take a crack at him in the Primaries.

Romney could be a contender. Heck, his view on the Russians as it relates to foreign policy is becoming prophetic.

I could see Romney running, especially if Russiagate heats up

I can't believe you compiled that entire list just for me. :lol:

I was commenting on the state of our politics and not the state of the Democrat party.

You routinely berate the left and Hollywood
Without looking too deeply into who's actually electing Hollywood into office
(Hint: It's not the left)

I wouldn’t bet on Trump finishing his term, either.

Well one will not have to worry about twitter diatribes with Pence at least. But those that hate Trump should be careful in wishing he was gone.

Politically, yeah. I think a Pence President with a Republican Congress would be a lot more effective at passing their agenda.

Would still rather see Trump gone, though. I think his presidency will do more long term damage beyond politics.

I think Pence destroyed his credibility by associating himself with Trump. Also he's really bad about squinting his eyes and trying to look honest and sincere while he lies through his teeth. That also is associated with his effort accomodate Trump.

But I agree that Trump as President does more long term damage to both the country and to the conservative movement.

Yeah, the damage is palpable. Stock market at record highs (over 60 record highs in 2017 alone)...401k’s up 18-30% in the past 12 months...real tax reform passed—I’m loving that extra $$ in my paycheck...bipartisan banking regulation reform passed (and it was BADLY needed)...got the ridiculous CFPB under control with a legitimate director...six straight quarters of increasing GDP...historically low unemployment...record high number of people employed—EVER...inflation remains under control right at 2%....Business confidence in the economy at an ALL TIME high...eliminated the ridiculous Obamacare mandate (yet ANOTHER tax on poor people)...got NK to the bargaining table, with a stated willingness to bargain away their nuclear missiles....virtually eliminated an mention of ISIS...border crossings have plummeted...highest African American employment numbers in years....got the Keystone pipeline back on track after his predecessor mysteriously refused to allow it...the list goes on and on....

But those damned tweets, right? :roll: :roll: :roll:
