45. Of course they did!

They were celebrating the victory that all their hard work of hacking and false news brought them.

Maybe Don the Con should be checking with Putin to see what he plans to do to replace Obamacare.

This was my fear since first hearing about his ties to Russia, beginning with his praise of Putin: Impossible though it may seem, I feared that our country - our democracy - would become under the control of a foreign power. Then it was Manafort. Then it just got worse and worse and worse - including Melania's father's ties to Russia and so much more.

Trump has a history of ignoring all the rules, and the power of the Executive will give give him an excuse to do whatever he wants, fully backed by a Republican Congress and probably a Supreme Court.

All our National secrets, our hard-gathered intelligence, our Treasury, everything - Wall Street, too - will be under Putin's guiding hand. Behind the scenes, most likely, but it will still be there.

I hope and pray that the CIA is using a timing factor to reveal its most important information. This is truly our only chance to either prevent Trump's taking the Oath of Office or to suffer immediate impeachment. Otherwise, once he assumes the office, he will be largely untouchable, as was Cheney and "W."

Trump is actually NOT stupid - he is highly intelligent. But he is largely uneducated, lacks empathy and a moral compass, has huge impulse control issues, and is under the control of his own ego, which leaves him very vulnerable to influence and open to making rash and grandiose decisions (which is probably one of the factors in his bankruptcies).

But never underestimate him - he is a master manipulator and will do whatever it takes to get what he wants and keep it.

Perhaps a third and fourth term?
