...this alternate history brought to you by the same delusional gasbags that brought you the phrase "Reality-Based Community". Seriously, how many times can you watch these obstructionist children scream "I get everything I want, or I burn it to the ground" before you can't lie to yourself any more?
What Trump actually represents is the naked id of everything the Republicans have tried to appeal to since the southern strategy was conceived and later perfected by human dumpster-fire Lee Atwater. Nativism, racism, misogyny...the real reason he makes the Republican establishment nervous is because he brought a normal whistle to their dogwhistle party.
Say what you will about Barry Goldwater, but he was dead on the money when he predicted where the GOP's religious pandering would get them.

She would be regarded as weak; the Middle East nations would have no respect for her, and the probability of another 9-11 attack would increase.
And we should believe you this time after you said the same thing in 2008 and 2012 and were proven very, very wrong....why?

Reasonable people would see that as a compliment.

Thirty years from now you people will still be shouting "ANY DAY NOW!!!!" through gritted teeth, just like you are today, and just like you were 20 years ago. No amount of repetition by your talk radio heroes will make what they say true, nor will there be any indictment for criminal behavior that never happened in the first place. Deal with it and move on, or keep screaming conspiracy until you rage yourself into a stroke.
