Here is the difference------> Obama could govern, even if by executive order. We won't discuss the outcome of his policies here.
Trump can't! They are doing EVERYTHING in their power, legal, and at least murky, to over ride a legal election, and in all honesty, succeeding.
I contend that the answer to all of our questions on what Trump will do, will be answered by the Supreme Court. If they rule he has overstepped his bounds, he can NOT govern and will either resign, or more than likely just not run for re-election.
But if they side with the President, I am 100% positive they will also give an OPINION on what has transpired, and put the "judge shoppers" on notice, this ain't going to fly.
Personally, I believe they will vote 7 to 2 in favor of Trump, or better. But one never knows. We shall see.
And if it comes to pass as I surmise, besides you Mac, we may not see a leftist on here for a week; but then again, you are a not a leftist, you are in the mold of a Kennedy Democrat, and that is why MOST Republicans will listen yo your words of wisdom, while far leftists despise you. You are the Clarence Thomas of the board for the leftists. Right color, (blue) wrong attitude. If you were a darker shade of blue, they might start calling you Uncle Tom!
I'm in a pretty fuckin' weird place on the political spectrum, THAT'S fer DAMN sure.

Mac, that is because while you have political views as do we all, you are NOT stupid. I know you don't like Trump, but so what! I believe you are smart enough to know a snow job when you see it. (snow job.......betcha nobody has a clue but me and you)
I am telling you my friend, we can agree to disagree, but you need help get your party back. I am smart enough to know that the Repubs don't always have the correct answers, but these far leftists are out of control.
I do not want our elections EVER AGAIN to be between someone who has no experience, and someone under the control of a bunch of socialists. Both party's are better than that!
I look forward to you trying to get your party to get back on the reservation........not by agreeing with Trump, but by being mainstream. There is going to be MANY times we are going to need them because the Republican is a clown. We NEVER want an election to be between a clown, and an idiot! Both left and right don't seem to understand the concept that sometimes..............we have to vote for the other side, and sometimes, the reason the other side loses is because....................the whole damn party has lost its collective way.
I would like to remind people reading this post, that there is no doubt; especially for his 2nd term, that Bill Clinton WAS the best choice, and the blue dress aside, did a very good job, I voted for him, and I am a conservative! We need be PATRIOTS, not Republicans or Democrats. It is up to the two PARTY'S to give us something worth a damn to vote for. We must be open to cross party lines if need be to show our disgust.
Still, what is happening today is unparalleled in our modern political history. Oh, there was always innuendo, sneaky attacks, lies, and some of them terrible. That is what we must as a nation make go away, because if you can't trust what those we elect to govern us say, then why should we elect them!
