    Both conventions seemed to have come and gone with very few incidents. Proud of my fellow Americans for not resorting to blowing each other up over our differences!

    A Pence presidency actually makes me feel slightly worse.
    Anyway, Free, it doesn't matter if Trump wants it or not at this point. There is no way he would bail out of it. Too late for that. He's stuck with it now.

    You know it all don't you. What are you living in his house? In his pocket? Are you best friends with Ivanka? No, it's not too late for anything.

    Saying something is one thing, talking like you know for a fact that Donald Trump can't - it's too late - and wont -quit is another.

    It sounds exactly the same as talking like you know for a fact that Drumpf is in it for Clinton to me.

    Why in the world would Trump go this far, win an election and then quit? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. What more could feed his ego than being the POTUS for four years +? He could delegate governing to others and be the "CEO", an aloof one at that.

    Here's what I do know and no one can possibly dispute it EVER. Bernie fans that are telling themselves this are simply doing it to delude themselves and rationalizing their votes for 3rd party. This is simply part of the grief cycle. Perhaps this is 'bargaining'?

    And just a day or two ago @PJfanwillneverleave1 gave me a hard time for saying "IMO" all the time, as though it was unnecessary because any reasonable person will know that it is my opinion, that it's necessarily implies. While I agreed with that premise, I explained that I started using it because of people like you. Once he brought it up I thought, "well, let's try not using it again. Maybe people have finally realized that it's not required in order to understand the difference." ..... Apparently not. I will reinstate my use of "IMO" just for you. I will expect you to do the same from now on.

    I've decided to go the other way. I decided to make all my statements unassailable.

    Touche'. Let's just say I have a strong feeling about that one, and so do many people. He's in this for the fame, the celebrity, for the love of himself and stroke of his ego. Oh yeah, and the money. It's not to actually lead the country.

    In your opinion. =)

    You're right on all these counts, but the conclusion that it will lead him resign the office doesn't make sense. Why give up the fame you just spent 18 months earning?

    because it will be more lucrative in the short term not to be president. he will earn way more on TV then he will as President.

    His enterprises can still earn while he's in office. And imagine the speaking fees after four years.... Much more than after an election.

    Yeah, he's not going to bail now. Much more likely: He will move into the White House and do a really, really, REALLY shitty, half-assed job as he continues to actually put time into his businesses and into his media obsession. It's not like the guy is suddenly going to become presidential on inauguration day. He's going to be the same old Trump. The same guy who adores lording over beauty pageants and pimping his own name.

    I finally watched the whole Obama speech from Wednesday. I think it was an excellent speech that touched on pretty much every point very well. It was really really REALLY good actually.

    I know most of the clintonites could give two fucks about this kind of stuff, but I'll post it anyways

    Delegate stripped of his credentials for holding up a "No TPP" sign during Obama speech. No wonder things looked different on day 4 of the convention.
