The idea that you could assume anything about the very next day, let alone four years from now is a waste of time.
Each day brings something new with Trump. However, the problem is how dangerous is each new day with how he runs his twitter account.

Some members of the pussy riot think trump's growing bromance with putin won't last forever. This article also talks about the rise of Trump.

I agree with this. Honestly, I expect 8 years of Trump. Course, I'm going to work to prevent that but, I mean, it's his to lose not really ours to win.Dunno. So much of the race boiled down to "Trump is unprepared and a catastrophic candidate who will destroy xyz." Similar to strategies used against Obama and Clinton. What if Trump turns out to be a normal president - not saying good, but normally decent, average, meh, whatever. What if the economy continues to grow - barring some insane trade war or recession, it's hard to see the economy tanking immediately after four years of tax cuts and increased business loans for instance.
Point being if people look around in four years and say "hey the world didn't end, and in fact the world is pretty good for my (white) ass" why wouldn't Trump be well positioned to win again. Not to mention the fact that if he's even just semi competent he should be able to raise a billion dollars in 2020.
Winning once gives you a good shot at winning again. Especially with democrats lacking a great candidate to unify the party. I'm not saying that Trump is going to win, I'm just saying we shouldn't assume he'll be perceived as a disaster by most of the country. A lot of republicans thought Clinton and Obama had no shot at re-election due to "disastrous" first terms too.
Of course it won't. As soon as Putin gets what he wants, then he'll drop his "support" of Trump.
Will Trump play the role of psycho spurned ex?
Can't wait for the tweet(s) denouncing the golden globes!
*weeps*
Oh, he certainly will.
Trump responds to betrayal worse than every other American alive. At least he and Putty only have 14k nukes between them.
You don't need a smarter electorate, that's an excuse. The right's figured out how to sell their crap to idiots, if we can't do the same that's not entirely on the electorate, that's on us too.Let's be clear - all this talk of messaging, etc. isn't going to work if you can't find a way to create a smarter electorate.
The idiots are ruling the coop. I expect short term gains and gradual disaster. Kind of like the end result of the Reagan Revolution leading us to this.

Sure, but I'm saying, surely it's harder to convince an idiot to vote against their best interests than for them.People literally voted against their interests this election. No doubt some of them did it because their racism/sexism won-out, sure. But others? Nope. Others are just dumb/illiterate/naive when it comes to this kind of thing.

Mr. Trump, as he has done many times before, grew heated in the interview as he flatly denied that he had intended to make fun of the Times reporter, Serge F. Kovaleski.
I was never mocking anyone, Mr. Trump said. I was calling into question a reporter who had gotten nervous because he had changed his story, arguing that the reporter had been trying to back away from an article he wrote in September 2001 about the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and elsewhere that month.
People keep saying I intended to mock the reporters disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing, he said in the interview.

Dishonest media says Mexico won't be paying for the wall if they pay a little later so the wall can be built more quickly. Media is fake!
USA pays then gets reimbursed.I have tried like 6 times to read this and I have no fucking idea what it means.

tax cut, duhAnd how do the tax payers get reimbursed?

US pays for a fence now. Trump's "border adjustment tax" on Mexican imports means that Mexico will eventually "pay" for the fence in the amount of taxes collected.
Trump gave a 12:30 AM interview to the NYT over the fucking Golden Globes and this loser still won't admit it and say sorry.
Fuck you, lick my asshole.

We've all seen the video, we know what you where doing :/”People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter's disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing," he said in the interview.
”We are going to have an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout for the inauguration, and there will be plenty of movie and entertainment stars," Mr. Trump said.

Dishonest media misreporting inauguration numbers, angry we broke Obama's record! Get over it losers stop lying!
With the help of Bill Simmons and the excellent team at The Ringer, we started a podcast called Keepin' It 1600 to have a conversation about politics we couldn't find anywhere else. We brought our partisan views, but also years of experience in the White House and on winning political campaigns (except Lovett). We brought on guests who agreed with us and those who didn't — Democrats and Republicans, journalists and columnists, authors and comedians. We tried to keep the conversation substantive, funny, honest, open, and focused on the overwhelming probability that Donald Trump would lose in November.
We were a little off on that last one. But we were wrong about more than just the outcome of the election. We were wrong to focus so much on punditry instead of advocacy. We were wrong to talk more about what would happen instead of what should happen. And most of all, Hillary Clinton was wrong to not come on our podcast.
If there's one thing we've learned from 2016, it's that there are no experts with all the answers. There is no secret plan. And there is no hero coming to save us. Anyone can help figure this out. You can do it. We can figure it out together. We can be patient and thoughtful and open to new ideas. We can challenge ourselves to be better and smarter. We can be tough on our opponents, forgiving of our allies, and we can take our country back. Or this little enterprise will fail. Either way, hope you sign up on iTunes!

Jon Lovett is a straight shooter widely respected on all sides. He earned this reputation (which is seriously fantastic, ask people) as a speechwriter for Hillary Clinton and as a presidential speechwriter in the Obama White House. Jon has written truly excellent speeches, really great, on a range of policy issues. He helped write the presidents annual remarks to the White House Correspondents Dinner. Many people say Jon is one of the funniest guys to do this. The jokes are just terrific. In the years since hes become a really big league writer in Hollywood. He had a hit sitcom on NBC called 1600 Penn which was cancelled by some crooked, disgusting people. Totally rigged deal. Also Jon has a great brain. He went to Williams, OK? One of the top guys. Follow the better Jon on twitter.
Hmm...
We've all seen the video, we know what you where doing :/
Doesn't Obama hold the record for the largest turn out for inauguration?
Hamilton - overrated@realDonaldTrump:
Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked last night at the Golden Globes. She is a.....
What a cliffhanger lol
Hamilton - overrated
Meryl Streep - overrated
I will fucking fight you orange man
Trump can only counter criticism by insulting whoever it is that's criticizing him. Can't wait for unemployment to go up and he just calls all the people who lost their jobs (who probably voted for him) losers who never deserved them in the first place.
Hopefully, they don't change the music they use in the podcast. That is my only wish.Keepin' It 1600 has a new website and is now called Crooked Media
