Why I will never regret voting for Donald Trump

There's only one reason that I, a voter from a swing state, voted for Donald Trump. The 2020 election! Let's be honest, this was one unique election, an entertaining outsider republican with a rabid fan base vs a dull low energy establishment candidate with a fan base of soccer moms. In the final days of the election I felt sad that this election would end. Hillary would win and every thing would return to normal in politics and in 4 years president Clinton would be up against another boring establishment candidate. An election she surely would have lost. But Trump winning would change everything. In the next election he would be up against the runner up in the Dem primary. Who was that again? Oh right, Bernard Sanders.

Sanders would be a fool not to run again. He nearly beat Hillary this time and created a large fan base. And for those of you who say he's too old to run. Think about this, he said after he dropped out of the race last year that he would again run and serve for another term in 2018. This means he'll be active in politics until at least 2025. And yes he would be 77 if he starts campaigning in 2019, but remember that congressman Ron Paul was 76 when he campaigned for president in 2012.

Just think about it. The 2020 election will make this one seem boring. It will be the ultimate Republican vs the ultimate Democrat. It would be like JFK vs Ronald Reagan.

2020 is a long way away, and the word never is pretty absolute. I would not be surprised if you find something to regret by then. Among other things, though you may not care, or may not believe it, and while it may be too late already, the effect of a rabidly stupid denier of global climate change on policy over the next four years might prove devastating far beyond the trivial concerns of American voters and their desire for political excitement.

Of course the way Trump is going, I don't think he'll last that long, but I don't think it's going to go well anyway, for him, the country, or the world.

I must say that although I like the idea of stirring up the establishment a little, I truly cannot imagine how a person could support Trump and Sanders indifferently. Sanders is an outsider to the Democratic Party, but hardly to politics. He's been in politics most of his adult life, and knows his way around. He appeals to many voters because he has a degree of courage, speaking his mind and taking controversial positions, but he's not a flake. He's also a social liberal, and not a xenophobic, lying, misogynistic lunatic.

I'll be happy to be proved wrong over the next four years, but Trump is all yours.
 
Let's burn our house down and see if a better one appears out of the ashes!

Sadly, that is a common mentality....and it ain't just the Trump supporters who have it. It seems to be pretty widespread. I guess people think it's edgy....
And Bernie Sanders is questionable for 2020 for one reason: His age. There is a very good chance he may not be in good enough health to run in 2020.

My fear is that after electing Comandante-Boor-O, the floodgates of celebrity know-nothings has been opened, and we ain't seen nothing yet.
 
If the OP was actually grounded in reality there might be something to it, but since it's not....
 
That selecting the wrong guy as President can get lots of people killed never seems to have occurred to the OP.
 
I promise that if(and only if) the world is destroyed in a nuclear war, I will come back to this page and say that I regret voting for Donald Trump

That is just about the most ******* mental justification for voting for an idiot that I've ever seen. And people in my country voted for Farridge.

He should go and see Trump's Dr. I'm sure he will find Sanders is as fit as whatever Sanders pays the Dr. to say!
