39. Nah they'll let the country burn to the ground

Tue Nov 29, 2016, 11:04 PM

Nov 2016

before ceding one inch of power. They don't care that he's a sociopath. They don't care that neo Nazi's are in the White House. They will use him up getting as much power and favors and money to enrich themselves and maybe if we are lucky before he starts a nuclear war or the country is in actual flames, they will install Pence. It will be a long few years waiting. BEST CASE scenario at least from the cons. (Romney is eating dinner with a sociopath he knows is a sociopath-none of them-none of them care about anything more than their own personal power)
