Discussing Trump with some friends a point to ponder did come up. Trump has one very redeeming quality as POTUS even if you don't like his policies.
He would be a POTUS that both parties would have no problem impeaching. That just might give Congress the backbone to actually be a check against Executive overreach and contain the role of the POTUS to it's Constitutional duties. If Hillary or Bernie win, no Democrat would ever vote to impeach, regardless of the charge, just like Obama. And if one of the other GOP candidates won, I suspect the GOP would do the same (although to a lesser extent since the GOP has never been as homogenous as the Democrat Party).
So either Trump brings about the fall of civilization with the big red reset button, or perhaps we get some level of the division of powers restored. And if the States hold and Article V convention, anything passed cannot be stopped by the Office of the President.

The first non President of the United States?
Executive orders would be at risk of being quashed in due time of course. They would be effective until action is taken.
I'm going to have to look up how that works exactly.

Perhaps, and a Trump presidency would be far more likely to be a 1 term affair than a Hillary or Col. Sanders.

Interesting perspective.

I think everyone feels that way about WND. (I don't do Breibart so I can't really comment but I've seen enough of MeM and Avengador's posting of WND stuff to know it would be a good place to go if I wanted to find out the latest about Batboy's social acclimation from being found in a cave.)

That Salon site ain't healthy for you Doni.

I find it funny that Trump, Twice, threatened to run
but did not when the party nominated 2 conservatively
weak and unpopular moderates for candidates. But this
time he is in and staying in when there are 2 potential
nominees who are closer aligned with conservative
principles.
Could it be that back then there was no way for a republican
win and this time there is no way for a democrat to win.....
IDK, just funny to me.....
