The hole goes even deeper...
I was talking to my mother last night and we realized that we'd LOVE to have Cheney back rather than Bannon. I know Bannon isn't the VP, but their roles are similar.
It was... shocking.

Canada doesn't have term limits since they vote for representatives, party picks the leader.

You can disapprove of someone, but still think that someone in their position ought to have access to the information necessary to do their job. I think Michael Fallon, the UK defence secretary, is a complete arsehole. I still agree that he needs security clearance. Obviously, it isn't a perfect analogy, but you get the drift.

Practically every single poll in existence told us that Hillary would win.
Same deal here in Aus.
Though if Turnbull was PM for life that would be really shitty.
Yes. But no one in Bannons position has EVER had this job. This is not normal its an outlier. I would think that in a world that even made a little sense, someone who doesn't approve of him in the white house also knows that he has no military or intelligence experience and would certainly not approve of him at the NSC. And 14% is a large number. Its inexplicable to me.

No, otherwise Bush II would have been impeached. I know there's some weird nostalgia for Bush II floating around here because Trump seems poised to be even worse, but words cant describe how furious he made half the country with his WMD lies, Abu Ghraib, torture, and the shitty policies that lead to the Iraq "insurgency."
People wanted his head on a platter.
Paul Ryan would probably be worse. He wouldn't be as pointlessly destructive to our allies, but he tear apart what's left of the social safety net and do so easily because he'd have the full support of Congress. There wouldn't be the same amount of resistance among both voters and the federal bureaucracy because Ryan is to milquetoast to incite any kind of revolt like that.
Again, the national polling was more accurate than not. She won by two points when the polling had her up by 3-4 percent usually; that's more accurate than the 2012 national polls were. The state polling is what was off.
Also, Zero Hedge is a bullshit site.
Exactly, there were what, 2 dissenting polls? I think CNN gave her like a 99.5% chance of winning or something. The 2 different were laughed at.

the best thing about these numbers is you know they're gonna drive trump mad
If Bannon is trying to play shadowy puppetmaster, the fact that his role and influence have been widely exposed in less than two weeks speaks pretty poorly of his power grabs. It wasn't until we invaded Iraq and the war started going south that more people started realizing the outsize role Cheney had in the Bush administration.
She wasn't lazy, she worked her ass off. But the campaign miscalculated where that effort should go; assuming the blue wall would hold was a poor assumption. Just like Bernie worked his ass off, but that doesn't change the fact that his campaign completely ignored the south.

There is nothing that says Obama couldn't have run for a third term, right?
I get why he wanted out, 8 years is a long time. But if he came back in 2018 nothing would be stopping him right?

The Constitution says.
You can only serve two terms as POTUS.

We had a more accurate poll on November 8.
15% of Dems prefer Trump over Obama. How do you call yourself a Democrat if you believe that.

How did FDR do it then?

It was ratified in 1951 lol.
There are many people who voted for Obama twice who voted for Trump.
That is super obvious.
A slab of green silly putty should have been able to win against Trump. Yeah, Hillary's campaign underestimated the appeal of an idiot spouting racism and sexism as a campaign platform but so did everyone else. Even the idiot, by some accounts.

But he was only off by about 100%. So close.
Yeah, that's the one I meant.
Lol this is incredible.

Obama's wasn't the type of president to have been the first to try to circumvent the 22nd Amendment.

The fact that US-Gaf takes pride in Clinton beating Trump by 2% should be a cause for concern. I'd be mortified.
We'll get to that when we're done worrying about what Trump will do to us.
It might take a while.

Common people who support fascist leaders don't always see themselves as fascists. They see it as finally putting "uppity" people in their place and returning society to its proper, ordained course.

They probably want Trump in office to burn everything down, so the hard left can move in on the smouldering ruins.

Nope.
If not for the 22nd Amendment, we wouldn't have recovered from all of the damage from Reagan's third, fourth or fifth terms yet.

It certainly would have been a lot of work for his administration to conceal Reagan's advancing Alzheimer's during his fifth term from 1997-2001.
