re: #185 HappyWarrior
I’m sorry if I came off hyperbolic. I’m just so infuriated at all he’s gotten away with.
he won when virtually no one (including his team) thought he would
not that he couldnt, only that he wouldnt
so we are now shy about any kind of “cant happen / never happen” discussion
and yes, he’s busted a bunch of norms, because he’s had help
and there’s been lots of push back
he’s nibbled at the edges and at things that we now see are both ambiguous and maybe didnt have so much enforcement teeth
but structurally maybe not so much. while he’s delayed things a lot, there’s not a lot of resolution
so we’ll see
so im sticking with no, a lot of things cant happen
- he could win a second term - we have to beat him
- he cant lose and not leave (it’s a totally different kind of ‘can’t happen’ than him winning in ‘16)
- and no, he cant under any circumstances have ‘a third term’
if a coronary doesn’t get him he could lose next year and run again - lay on the grift for four years while waiting…
