Showing Original Post only (View all)If Trump takes over the Republican Party... [View all]
there is no reason to believe that he will not consolidate his power within the political Parties and easily defeat the Democratic candidate in November. That may seem like an unthinkable possibility to most of us, but I believe it is highly likely.
Once he is sworn in as President of this country, there is no one in the House or Senate strong enough to oppose him. They would fear for their political lives. He will rule as a dictator. No one will supply enough votes to impeach him.
We are on the verge of losing our nation that was created almost 240 years ago. It is my opinion that we are much closer than we think.
