    It can’t get worse. He found the bottom and decided to go deeper. Nobody can replace his level of destruction of the United States. It will take a genuine master class asshole to come close.

      I think that you are correct here. He comes from an old school way of looking at the world, pre-Boomer, which was really a lot of “I get mine and it’s ok if I take yours to get it”. These people built out the country to exclude minorities and take away power from women. His replacement will certainly be much younger and have a completely different viewpoint on the world.

        God I hope so, but I have a feeling it’s going to be another monster; just without the spectre of death looming over them like the rainbow after a storm.

          It can be another cluster but I’m also hopeful that a younger person will tone it down. The senate tends to be more moderate too.

      It most certainly can though I agree it would take someone with exceptional skill and complete moral bankruptcy. Every time I think the 'pubs can’t sink any lower, they betray my expectations.
