I think you mean the same masses that DID elect Hillary, by nearly 3,000,000 votes... Donald only won because of the outdated and unbalanced electoral college, as I'm sure you know.

Well, since the maximum a president can be in office is 8 years, and Trump was elected in November 2016, Trump can only be my president another 6 more years - if - he's elected again as president in November 2020.

Because, if you do the math - the max Trump can be president is from November 2016 - November 2024.

And since Trump is currently president only until November 2020, - then your math regarding him being president for another 6 years is incorrect.

Wrong.


The maximum is 10 years.


A President can only be elected to two terms, but he or she can serve up to two years of a previous President's term. LBJ could have run for a second elected term in 1968 had he so desired because he served less than half of Kennedy's term

Wrong


It's from January 2017 - January 2025


Presidents are elected in November, but don't take office/are sworn into office until the following January.

I'll be sure to avoid downtown Oakland this Sunday. Nothing good ever comes out of a large gathering of people at Frank Ogawa Plaza.

I don't care who Kamala Harris has slept with. After all, she's not sleeping with me, so I'm not going to worry about the STD's. Our current president likes Russian hooker wee-wee on his bed sheets, so trying to paint Harris as a sl#t is pretty irrelevant to national discourse at this point in time.

Trump lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College, so it's not like America is a democracy or even a real representative republic anyway. It's going to be some dude on a farm in Ohio that makes the decision for the other 324,999,999 of us. Welcome to America!

It is very well-known in SF that Kamala got her start in politics via Willie Brown.

2 More Brown Associates Get Well-Paid Posts : Government: The Speaker appoints his frequent companion and a longtime friend to state boards as his hold on his own powerful position wanes. - latimes

Furthermore, she didn’t do a great job as DA in SF. She didn’t seek the death penalty for Edwin Ramos who, prior to his murder conviction, had assaulted a Muni passenger and a pregnant woman.

And then there’s Steve Mnuchin:

And then there’s this behavior from one of Kamala’s aides (tho she claims she was unaware of the behavior).

It's cute that Kamala thinks she's got a chance on the national level...

As a Democrat, I'm not voting for her in the primary. I'll vote for her if she ends up being the nominee, but I won't be very enthused about it.

I can already see it now. Pictures of curbside syringes and feces splashed across the TV screens when GOP campaign ads start rolling out.

I think we can do better, as a party, than Kamala!

Even in San Fran Kamala doesn't have many supporters it looks like. I think she's in trouble....

Who do you guys think the DNC will choose during the primary? Or do you think they learned their lesson and will let voters decide who the nominee is this time? I personally don't think KH is genuine. She is similar to HC where she will say anything public opinion wants. Having lived in SF I don't remember her name at all, so I question how much she has done for locals or the amount of local support she has.

All this talk of Trump and Kamala’s sexual escapades, it’s like they can barely control themselves. What are the odds of those two banging after a particularly heated debate? Talk about reaching across the aisle!
