Unlike you, I'm perfectly happy with almost everything Trump has done for this country and my wallet and retirement.

I'm not happy about his constant zeroing of Amtrak's budget, but he's not the first President to do so and the Amtrak Board is made up of mostly Obama holdovers screwing up the railroad anyway.

Sure you can put that train back on the track, but if that track is heading the wrong direction, maybe we need to switch tracks and go a different direction.
Which pretty much sums up the last election.

Clearly, I'm just along for the ride.
I'll make the best of it.

Medicare for all is a great way of ensuring good population control

I'm old enough to remember when "feel the bern" was a symptom of social disease.
Funny how it's now a symptom of a socialism disease.

Amtrak has been screwed up since day 1. It shouldn’t exist and it has nothing to do with who is on the board.

You can jump to minute 25, they talk about enemy combatants.
The contract to run gitmo have been extended to 2043.
So we aren't going to war and no R's are going there. Who do you think is going to end up there?

I’m Canadian, and don’t really follow American Politics as well... I just don’t want to. What are the odds of him actually getting re-elected? Is Canadians are truly astonished that he is actually predefined in the first place.. still seems like some sort of reality show. Is Bernie Sanders the front runner for the opposition? Please pardon my ignorance...

1. High.
2. Kind of. On one hand, he is. On the other hand, the DNC doesn't want him. So..

Pretty decent shot at getting re-elected.

What Rman said is accurate. Bernie is the “front-runner” but the DNC will somehow muck this up and Biden/Bloomberg will get the nod.

They're working on the technology for 1 Bernie vote equaling 1 vote for each of Buttigieg, Biden, and Bloomberg. Plus half a sympathy vote for Klobuchar.

“Sure Bernie has the plurality, but we talked backstage and these Super Delegates want Biden. No, no, no this isn’t 2016. We can do it this time!”

All the Bernie vote YET AGAIN stays home or goes to Trump.

Trump wins Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania by 13 votes combined.

Democrats: <insert shocked Pikachu face>

When he sweeps the South (and he likely will) we shall see.

I suspect nobody gets the majority needed and the Supers go to Biden who is “2nd” due to the wins he picked up in the Republican strongholds.

Joe cannot even function without a "handler"

He is only running to stay out of trouble.

There is a chance he could be impeached again.
Chances of removal by the Senate? Zero.

Chance he could do time in a New York jail? Very, very low, but possible.
Chances other people could go to jail for merely doing their jobs and calling out his malfeasance? 0%
Chances those people will be well remembered by history while Trump himself is considered a blight on the American way who serves only as a cautionary tale? 100%
A minority of Americans, with foreign interference, were able to somehow take (politics aside) one of the worst people who has ever lived, and elevate him to the highest office and keep him there despite his constant incompetence and contempt for the rule of law.
Not a good look...
