Re: Politics thread

Think about how much genuine harm George W Bush did to the country, and then talk to me about how electing Trump is harmless.

Re: Politics thread

You feel like the kind of person that would reject any Republican at all out of hand (and I'm in no way faulting you for that, considering what the GOP has become), but that's exactly why Trump's the best candidate for the Republican side. He's so...not the same as the other candidates, and they all know what they're doing, which is much much scarier. Cruz would have been a million times the nightmare that Trump might be, and I don't have much better feelings about Kaisch, going by his policies.

Trump doesn't scare me because he's basically failed at everything else he's ever tried. Congress won't let him build a wall, Congress won't let him carpet bomb the Middle East, so he'd pretty much just sit on it and rotate for four years.

I mean, I would probably be opposed to any Republican, but I think part of what made Bush so harmful was that his administration was not very competent in general. That's part of why Iraq was such a debacle, for instance. And one of the reasons that I think Trump would be dangerous is because I would expect his administration to be similarly incompetent.

I don't know whether I'd rather have a competent person with terrible beliefs, or an incompetent person with those beliefs, but either way, I am convinced that Trump could be extremely harmful.

I'm also not convinced that a Republican congress would actually oppose the policies of a President Trump - I mean, some of them, sure, but 4 years is a long time to be in Washington, and are we really sure a Republican Congress wouldn't crack down on immigrants or start more aggressive bombing in the Middle East?

That's the rub of it, really-- could be. And absolutely, I agree with that. He certainly could be. But I'd rather take the chance of could be over absolutely will be.

As for Congress, it's like the old joke goes: if the opposite of "con" is "pro", then the opposite of "Congress" is...? The fact is, Trump's ideas are too wild and too impossible to implement given our current system, and senators will do everything in their power to maintain the status quo.

Re: Politics thread

I think most senators - certainly most Republican senators - are more interested in their own power and well-being than in maintaining the status quo. And I think in a lot of cases, that would line up with a Trump administration's agenda.
