Of showing republicans up to be what I always expected they were.
The party of lies, cheats, greed and immorality, he is a serial adulterer, and really not at all smart, I have always suspected he cannot read!
Contrast with Obama, an honest happily married family man with two smart daughters, a smart and kind wife, who cares about people and wants to do the best for them. I do not care much about anyone's religion but I think he is a christian man, whereas Trump
is certainly not, never attends a church service. In fact, would cheat you out of your last dime. I am forever shocked by his ignorance.

Even as he’s lowering it with much of his base through propaganda that would make Goebbels envious, many more are more involved and seeking truth in politics than I can recall in my lifetime.

Hoping like hell it’s enough to get people to the polls to make the right selections.

that if he was a heavy drinker, that might cross a red line for some in his administration (like Pence) and some of the Evangelicals so that they might turn against him.....even after turning a blind eye towards his many other faults, transgressions, and foul policies.

In reality though, it is a good thing because drinking would be a total disaster with his revengeful and narcissistic personality.

As you suggested, I can't even fathom the mess that would be........

Don't get my wrong. I'm a church going Christian. I really resent their having given Christianity a bad name. They need to be taken down. I have to admit, though, that I was surprised. I thought many of them were motivated by an honest, if overblown and misdirected, sense of morality. Sadly, that seems not to be the case.

Even GW at least loved his wife and daughters in a non-creepy way.

I've said it many times, Agent Orange Chaos one of the few beings in the world who have zero redeeming qualities, not one, not ever. He's all bad all the time, not just in actions but in everything he says and even the way he looks. After severe pushback, he could only think of one good sentence to say about McCain, and he repeated the same banal statement in a dead tone time after time last week. He had no issues saying bad things about McCain, that was easy, but it hurt him in a visceral way to drag that one good sentence out of his throat. You could tell he'd almost rather have taken poison, he hated doing it so much.
