    Trump's getting a bounce from being universally recognized as the nominee. He'll start slipping. Unless he doesn't.

    Truer words have never been spoken.

    For all the talk of how Republican party is a mess, there is just as much discontent on the Democratic side. Many of the Bernie supporters are going to be so disgruntled that they are not going to vote for Hillary. Anyone who thinks this is a shoe in for Hillary just isn't paying attention.

    It's hard to envision Bill Clinton as a rapist. Dude's charismatic as it gets. Probably could talk a sixteen year old out of her drawers just as fast as play a bad tune on the sax.

    Now... Hillary? I could easily see her rapin' a bitch with a strap on, then dropping a wad of cash on the crying girl's head on the way out of the door, Dana Stubblefield-Style.

    Easily.

    Hillary thinks she's more of a man than all of you. That's apparent.

    That's just peer pressure from the Bush boys, you can't really say no to Gog and Magog.

    He's been their gopher for like 10 years already. W even wiped some immigrant slime on Bill's shirt like he was an intern.

    This may be the first time I can remember that no matter who is elected, they will be despised by over half the Nation. We are dangerously on the verge of becoming ungovernable. I think the Dems only have to flip 9 seats to regain the Senate. They pull that off, and they can neutralize Trump just like the Republicans stymied Obama's agenda.

    4 seats. The Dems only need to pickup 4 seats and they have the Senate via Biden as the tie-breaking vote.

    Odds are the Dems do that even if Trump wins. GOP has a huge number of seats in play and the Dems only a few. It's the flipside of the last couple of cycles.

    So Biden is going to be Hillary's running mate?

    That may be the only way of stopping Herr Trump's agenda. Hillary just isn't a good candidate. She wasn't in 2008 either. Probably would make a good VP, not heading up a ticket. Neither is Bernie (one trick pony) Sanders either. If I were the DNC, I would go hard after those Senate seats and start setting up for the 2018 and 2020 elections. Start to tie those Senators to Herr Trump and force them to either endorse him or risk Trump's wrath by not endorsing him. Either way, the Dems could flip the Senate and neutralize Trump at the same time. Make Trump a lame duck on day one.

    I think Trump would find common ground with the Democrats if they controlled the Senate. The problem is the ground he found would be stalled out by the GOP in that case. The filibuster is going to have to go at some point. It's un-Democratic to let the minority stall action in the legislature indefinitely. There's nothing in the Constitution that mentions a filibuster or a super-majority requirement to take action. It's just a rule of the Senate that neither party had had the courage to let go of when they controlled the Senate for fear of what would happen when they lost it. Time to to stop being afraid of effective action, good or bad, and let the system sort things out over time.
