taking a vote and getting Trump out of there. Or easy as turning the lights on and off.
No, it is not that easy. If it were that easy, getting rid of Trump would already have been done. So many obstacles in the way, and many of those obstacles have very different solutions and complications deep within.
Yes, there are a whole lot of " party bashers but many of them are as stupid as Trump.

Again, If it were really that easy to get rid of Trump...(like one simple vote and he is out) it would have been done already.

Is that the truth, or is it a lie?
