If you're an avid reader of this blog (and I know that there aren't that many of you), you know that I despise the man above. Unlike our 45th president, he's a competent slime-ball, and deserving of all of the contempt that he has earned from the American left. Too bad, that until recently, he was a darling of the American right - Trumpism without Trump. Luckily, as I write this, this contemptible person has just "suspended his campaign" and endorsed "Orange Elvis" for president.

We've seen Trump mold the GOP in his own image, leaving no room for dissent. When one listens to excerpts from his speeches, Trump now seems to be going senile. I do not believe that the one person who is left in the race for the GOP nomination will usurp Trump from his control of the GOP. This leaves us with the strong possibility that one of the criminal cases against Trump may decide his guilt before the GOP convention, if not before Election Day in November.
What happens if Trump is convicted? Will a conviction change the votes of many independents? What about "No Labels" effect on the general election? Even crazier is the possibility that Trump will be elected, but noted as being disqualified to serve due to the 14th amendment. More than that, could he be deemed too ill (senile) to serve and prevented from taking office due to actions taken under the 25th amendment? There are so many unknowns at play in this election, that it may make sense for many Republican party loyalists to vote Democrat - simply as a tool to clean out the Trump cultists from the GOP. I see the GOP as afraid to deal with the Trump cult, and it will be up to the Democrats (as usual) to clean up the mess the GOP has made.
I am very afraid of the reprisals that will likely take place if Trump wins in November. So I will support any and all legal means to keep him from power until he has been defanged and declawed - preferably in ADX Florence (America's Supermax Prison.)
