Everything else he can survive with just a simple pivot to his benefit.
"Clinton took money from Golman Sachs! She's a crook!"
Trump puts 5 ex GS executives in his cabinet. "who else better to run the economy than the top bankers?!"
"grab em by the ...do whatever you want"
"Just locker room talk, amirite guys?" Hi five!
That's how this is going to play out. The only way he's going out before 4 is if the markets crash, at that point he might become a pariah that the GOP want to dump.
Otherwise, it's 4 years (at least) of Dirty Don.
I mean, you're right, but our point is that everyone here knows this already. Well, except for Serial Killer and soulstar where Trump could look into the camera and say " every single one of you out there, including the ones who voted for me" and they'd be all like "oh he's just trolling you libtards MAGA". They are so useless, they aren't even worth conversing with. At least Kevin made highly researched and well thought-out points.

So true, I actually miss Kevin. The good old days lol.

Kevin was wrong about a great deal, but his heart was in the right place, and he was actually enjoyable to talk to.
Unlike RANN and the trolls he enjoys conversing with.
Silky Johnson
I dunno what the problem is, just put him on ignore and he'll become one of the most enjoyable posters here! :stongue:

Basically, after his election-night humiliation, RANN is now tempering all his posts with the disclaimer that "Don is going nowhere", whilst continuing to leap fervently on every possible scandal so that he can claim he "called it" if a killing blow is finally struck.
Mr.Mystery
This thread needs something less stupid.

if i can forgive rann for his 'flight 93 was shot down' nonsense, i think you can do the same re his exuberance to see trump get held down and ed. comparing him unfavourably with kev is just too mean, even by TA standards! :stongue:

I was literally the first to eat humble pie over election night - straight up, no denial there, but at least I've got the balls to put a flag in the ground on my beliefs rather than just waiting in the wings for events to unfold and then giving a snide little commentary after the fact.
No one saw it coming, least of all you or I. You're also not computing the fact that he won, and survived all the heinous things he's said and done - simply a new paradigm in politics - which is why it then became clear that nothing will affect him while he's a cash cow for the GOP. As long as republican financial interests are being served, he aint going anywhere, because we have the longest (dirty) laundry list of negative things that just haven't touched him, and won't.
That's where the temperance comes from, and as I said, there won't be a killing blow as no scandal matters. I honestly think at this point the GOP would still keep him even if the Golden gate tapes turn out to be real and got leaked to TMZ. "just a bit of fun while on holiday".
It's quietly becoming apparent that there's no replacement for Obamacare, and it will just be repealed, he'll survive that too. He'll survive the muslim ban. But he can't survive a tanked economy.

While you (and others) were going on about how Nate Silver was fudging the numbers to drive traffic to his page, Lira, Jack, and myself all said the contest was going to be extremely close and that you should temper your enthusiasm.
You can 'put a flag in the ground on [your] beliefs' as much as you want, that's really not the issue here. The issue is that you're a ing dumbass.

Still so butthurt :stongue:
Calling utter bollocks on that, it was only 3 days before that Silver starting tightening the polls and in Nate Silver's own words "I acted like a pundit and screwed up on Donald Trump".
The guy himself admits he didn't see it coming so again, take the self righteous stick out of your arse and move on as you certainly didn't see it coming. Let it go, I admit Trump won and we didn't see it coming, Hilary lost by the largest popular vote margin in history and you certainly didn't ing call that, did you? And neither did your beloved Nate silver.
You just look bitter at this point.
