Progressivity

teddyThis is what I wrote on Facebook on July 31st of this year about DtheT.

Donald Trump will end up being a great disappointment to all Christians in this country. He is not a conservative. He is, more than likely, a Progressive cloaked in rhetoric that will get him this “deal” called the presidency. When he gets it – and surely he will succeed and become the president – it won’t take very long for the “real” Donald to come out. The problem with that is he will be the same erratic and unstable individual you have seen for the past year. Mike Pence will have no choice but to serve as the surrogate president, a job he was not elected to perform. Why? Because Trump will have finally made a deal he cannot bleed dry and then throw away through bankruptcy. The pressure will eventually push him over the edge into a breakdown that will incapacitate him. But his outsized ego will not allow him to admit it, resulting in a Constitutional crisis that will make Richard Nixon’s impeachment proceedings look tame by comparison. This will put Republicans in Congress in a position that will force them to finally do what they should have done all along: admit his candidacy is a terrible mistake and impeach and convict him. Meanwhile, Russia will be looking at their old friends in Latvia and Slovenia for a reunification that NATO cannot prevent, because we won’t be there. The government will be in a state of paralysis, resulting in a default on our debt. The impact will be felt world-wide. But we will survive. The difference between us and Germany in 1933 is that the Founders of the country put mechanisms in place to allow us to fix our folly. But the impact on the GOP will last for at least a generation for having created this disaster. So, to my thinking, the GOP can admit now they made a mistake and take a one term Hillary, electing Paul Ryan in 2020. Or they can let this go on and have a devastating impact on the party, the nation and the world. Their choice.

Well, DtheT is the president-elect, and it appears he is going to focus on spending for infrastructure as a first priority. There’s also a fair amount of chatter about Mike Pence being delegated the bulk of ‘presidenting’ to free DtheT up to concentrate on more important matters. What those matters are nobody is quite sure. So there you have it.
