Tim Simmons said:I'd also say once Trump is gone and the GOP starts to lean traditional in order to win back the middle voters, you'll get less "pure evil" general accusations and just the normal 'morally evil' accusations.
I'm hoping. The irony is, the once radical-left 46-year-old me would probably get on board with a lot of the traditional conservative ideals.
My gut says Trump's ego will not compel him to push a successor to his movement, not even his kids. This is his thing and he wants nobody to come close to it. Several people will vie to collect his coalition, but it will probably fall flat and people will fracture. To be Trump is a perfect storm of bombast, narcissism, and complete lack of self-awareness. It cannot be replicated
Most Republicans in Washington want to be rid of this guy, but cant openly admit it or do anything about it because its political suicide. If they get a chance, they will pounce and wipe this away.
What I would like, is if we could somehow split into 4 parties. Religious right, Conservatives, Middle-Left, and Extreme-left. Go toward a ranked-choice voting system, and scrap/re-work the electoral college. I would also expand the Supreme Court and tag some controls/term limits on there (term limits in congress too). Allow the executive branch to nominate like 3 justices each term, and they serve for 20 years or something like that.
I would also consider making the president a single 6 year term. That way, the first term isnt 75% campaigning. Work the congressional terms around to make them true referendums on the president.0 -

Good on ya, see ya out there on the 10th in NZ. Keep an eye out for a small blond w/ a guy 6’6 most likely wearing his Cubs hat he always wears at PJ shows. Safe travels, it’s gonna be awesome few weeks down under….hope you surf!!bootlegger10 said:
Although I would love to retire to Europe (which could be a ticking time bomb), I am just referring to my trip to New Zealand to see Pearl Jam on Friday. Funny timing.brianlux said:bootlegger10 said:Regardless of who wins, I am leaving the country on Wednesday.Kamala will win. Crazy that it is this close and how the far right has destroyed the party. Mitt Romney could have easily beat Kamala, but someone like that won’t beat Trump because of the far right buffoons.If you go, I'll say "Good luck and bon voyage." On the other hand, if you stay, why not become active in the Republican party and be a part of a movement that is sorely needed to make that party viable again? And remember, these things go in cycles. I really doubt the far right will not dominate the Republican party forever. Maybe consider being a part of the change.And I'm not saying that being an ex-patriot is a horrible things. I know or have known a number of ex-pats and some seem happy, and others not much. Really, unless you're really wealthy or well connected, it kind of a crap shoot. I don't have the stats, but it seems to me the majority of ex-pats end up returning. Seems like a lot of trouble for what could turn out to be a money drain and for an extended leave.
i do hope the Republican Party can reform to less crazy. Maybe even add a few other viable parties to break up this two party crap.

I went to where I vote and I was told it's 3-4 hours to vote.mickeyrat said:Gern Blansten said:
I forgot that there is a polling place right next to my house. Not mine for some reason...mine is a mile away.mickeyrat said:got ourselves a line this time. 25 or so outside. prob close to same inside to check in give or take. couldnt say yet after check in.
There was no one in line outside and no foot traffic other than one guy I saw walking in. Weird. Of course I'm in Red Meat, IN.approx 60 or so after check in. 12 machines here.no issues with voters. one woman had a medical issue. was taken out on stretcher. dont think she voted yet. appeared like a poll worker was addressing the non-vote after check in.
Lady in front of me said she's NEVER seen it like this and she's been voting in this Town for many years. Usually takes no more then 10 minutes. I recently moved to this Town and this is my first time trying to vote.
Poll workers told me that it's 3 hours to vote , at least. And they also told me they're suppose to get more machines in as they only have 3. Where I live is the 2nd most populated in the County so not sure why they only have 3 machines there.
