#1 Third, it is quite possible that Clinton’s problems have only begun.

My abiding hope and heartfelt prayer.

#2 If the Republican Party even exists in 2020 and 2024, its candidates will make Trump look like a Moderate.

No need to wait. Trump is a moderate - at best.

#3 So, Trump can't win, but Hillary might lose?

#4 Trump has an appealing message. However, I'm not sure G_D himself could straighten out the mess in Washington. It is time to be done with the Bush and Clinton political dynasties. Give someone new a try.

#5 Indeed, JohnQC. We've been doing the Bush/Clinton thing since 1988 and since then the country has been on a long, slow, gradual decline. It is time to try something else.

#6 Nobody points out the elephant in the room, and that is that the US govt is bankrupt and insolvent, except for the ability to create dollars out of thin air and sell them as T-bills.

Once direct bank to bank foreign currency transactions are widespread, nobody will need the US dollar as a reserve currency. The value of the dollar collapses, then the US govt collapses.

The presidential election is just Kabuki Theater.

#7 The government is bankrupt -- why not a president with experience with bankruptcy?

#8 Rob---that is the most compelling reason for Trump, heh! Besides being the only alternative to a massive criminal enterprise.....
