Ultimately yes but Bernie is who the people wanted, the DNC pulled every string and dirty trick to push him out.

Your concerns are meaningless given the risk scale here.
It is possible to be concerned about mankind in general, but also be concerned about the smaller issues that also affect our lives on a day-to-day basis.

This is bad on all of those levels, so it's acceptable to be concerned on all of those levels.

Yeah, well, one set of concerns should really dwarf the other, and I was responding to a line of conversation that suggested that Pence was worse than Trump, as he's just a loudmouth while Pence is evil, apparently.

I'd be overjoyed if Trump stepped aside and let Pence run the country. Bad for lots of people, but as I said earlier, survivable.

Meh, it's like getting shot in the head, if it happens I probably won't have much time to worry about it.

I'm running on the hope that Pence and Ryan are going to run the country.

I hate this country right now.
