Had a thought, if each of us that voted for President Clinton were

[KewlKat]

to donate a dollar to a gofundme account, could we persuade the Con to take the money and run? So we'd have a Pence presidency. Wouldn't he at least be more predictable and a bit more diplomatic? The Con will destroy the entire planet by the time he and his deplorable cabinet are finished. We won't have a liveable planet left.

$67 Million might just make his finances liquid again, plus add the costs of protecting the Con's towers in NYC, a million a day there, etc......Then he can have the TV network he wanted and still travel the US giving his hate rallies.

We'd have a few weeks to see what we could raise. Hell maybe we could even get close to a hundred million......nice carrot?

1. I wouldn't give a dollar of my hard earned money to that orange ass hole for any reason.

[KewlKat]

3. I understand.....just trying to find a way to not have him in office

By his actions I just feel like he's holding the nation for ransom. His appointments to the cabinet, his sticky finger "children of the corn" into everything, put our men and women in uniform at risk, etc......he makes W look presidential.

Clearly Banhim is making these selections along with his other deplorables like manafort, putin, stone, etc......

10. He would probably take the money and stay

[PoliticAverse]

2. I think it would take a few billion $$$ for him to quit. n/t

[KewlKat]

4. yeah....I'm sure we couldn't get off with less. He's probably going to make a billion while in

office, so he wouldn't take less.

Trying to find a silver lining in this sad event that will soon take place. Haven't seen a hint of one yet.

5. Pence might be worse. You know all those countries that

we allegedly hate that have a theocratic from of government? Under Pence, we'd be one of them.

6. ITM, how about JOINING A PROTEST day after tomorrow?

For all those within reach of their state capitals, protests are planned in the capitals in all 50 states where the electors will meet to vote. Mine's in Atlanta.

This is another chance to make a statement that will be noticed.

[KewlKat]

7. that's a great idea. I can't make it but maybe others can.

Has anyone posted a note about it in GD? Any website with information on it?

[Hortensis]

9. 1. Google the appropriate state capital and "protest,"

2. Call in sick to work tomorrow if necessary, 3. Plan appropriate clothing for local weather.

For once I actually live a decent commute from the capital. In California it was a several-hour drive. I went to the doctor and got an antibiotic and B12 shot yesterday to try to throw off this cold faster because my DIL and I are going to Atlanta.

19. Here's a SaveDemocracy.org link for all states,

giving times and addresses. Atlanta is 9-1. There's a link to join up with others via Google also.

21. thanks for the information!

8. Trump isnt the problem.

Your plan would leave us with Pence

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

In fact, Pence would be worse than Trump, as the former understands how government works.

Indeed, the disaster that America will soon experience would have come about regardless what Republican was elected president.

Rubio, Kasich, or Cruz – the Republican Congress would still be pursuing the same failed, wrongheaded policies, with any Republican president signing Republican madness into law.

11. Excellent point. And welcome to DU!! (eom)

12. Pence Would be Just as Bad or Worse

I do not think Mike Pence would be a better option. There is a part of me that think Mike Pence is actually the person running this country. The things that are happening now are happening because Mike Pence wants them to happen. The things that will happen after Trump is inaugurated will be because Mike Pence wants them to happen. I do not think Pence would be more diplomatic. Do you mean more diplomatic toward Democrats, or more diplomatic towards international leaders? I do not think Pence would be more diplomatic to either Democrats, or foreign leaders.

It would be much better to give that money to either the Democratic Party, or to different Democratic Party candidates. That money could be used to help Democratic candidates get elected at the state and national level. How many Senate seats, governorships, and state legislatures will Democrats attempt to protect in 2018? The Democrats in each of those elections could be given at least $1 million. $1 million is not a great amount of money in a campaign, but it would help any candidate.

13. "The people have spoken and now they must pay." Ed Koch

We are all wringing our hands about how to get the Twitler voter to vote for a Democrat. Offering them workable economic plans didn't work. Treating them like adults didn't work. They wanted a white man who lied and treated them like idiots. WE can't turn those people.

The only thing that can turn them is to let them live through a Twitler presidency. Lose their social security. Lose their food stamps. Lose their childcare money. Lose their health insurance. Some will lose their lives. So will some of us. But it's the only thing that will show them what is actually important and who is actually looking out for them.

15. He's going to be making a lot more money than that through this "Presidency"...I have absolutely

zero doubt about this.

[Grown2Hate]

16. Keeping in mind that tRump knows NOTHING if how government works, you have to realize right

now that Pence is already President. It's Cheney/Bush on steroids. You think tRump is picking this cabinet? It's the hard-right's wet dream of a cabinet right now, and there's no way he's actually choosing them. Omarosa isn't SoS and Gary Busey isn't Director of Health and Human Services, so I would bet tRump isn't choosing anyone; he's just using his time congratulating himself, meeting with Kanye, and embarrassing the hell out of Mitt.

[0rganism]

17. he would take the money, stay, and laugh in our faces

there is no bargaining with this disaster
there is no reasoning with this disaster
there is no escape from this disaster

nonetheless, we will all pay a price

far better to save your donations for the people hurt in the first waves of suffering that will sweep through this pampered country.

[KewlKat]

18. You're all correct. Bad idea.

So you all think our VP elect is making these cabinet choices? Because so many gave lots of dollars to the Con I figured it was the con paying them back.

[JI7]

20. i think his debts are WAYYY more than that
