What purpose is served by saying something like this? Not everyone is as attached to a party as you are.

I didn't vote for him, but I wouldn't want anything terrible to happen to him, either. He's been a colorful, entertaining character around the NYC Metro area for decades. He bit off more than he can chew here, but he doesn't deserve for anything horrible to happen to him. I hope the Republican party can resolve their problems with him in a sensible manner.

That doesn't make much sense, but I think what you are trying to say is that Trump lost the popular vote because he didn't campaign in California which is a very, very dubious claim, in my opinion if he had campaigned in California he would have lost more votes than he would have gained.

Talking The hyperpartisan test...

Hyperpartisanship exists when:

1. One party's congressional leaders meet to decide on opposing the president of the opposite party on every issue throughout his term.
2. When the party leader of the senate announces, "Our highest priority is to make this a one term president."
3. The majority party in the senate blocks appointment of a supreme court justice by a president of the other party.

Apply this test whenever there's a hint of over-the-top partisanship.

It's foolproof.

Your fear is only rational because it's often crazies from the left most likely to commit crazy acts.

I hope he doesn't keel over from natural causes, either. It would become a never-ending conspiracy theory.

What I think is interesting is the cabinet-level method of dumping a president.

Regardless of when and how this fascist POS drops dead, most of his fans will fall in line behind a conspiracy theory. After all, most are already birthers anyway.

You're right...I strongly disliked him and have never been particularly fond of him.

I do hate Nazis, though. And he's being led by the nose by one, so yeah... I have grown to hate him.

I do not want him harmed. I want him out of office. It's a complete travesty that he was ever allowed to sit in the same chair as those who came before him. ALL of them, regardless of party affiliation.

Though Trump's regime really is becoming more Nazi and Hitleresque every day.

And that is toxic.
