    This is the type of thinking that got him there in the first place.

    You want to beat him or whoever succeeds him, find someone people want to vote for

      You’re 100% wrong. If there are 10 voters. 8 of them really do not like Trump. 3 vote for <alternative>, 2 do not vote because they want someone to vote for, 1 votes third party and 4 vote for Trump then Trump wins. You’re never going to get a perfect candidate and you will 100% get the candidate you don’t want.

      This is how Trump got elected even though he never was a popular candidate. We play the cards we’re dealt.

        The fact is trump was elected because the DNC screwed up selecting their candidate. You can’t browbeat people into voting for a candidate every single time. Trump is the DNC’s fault almost entirely.

          Trump was elected because he got more votes. Period. He got more votes because more people didn’t take a stand. Period. There was a way to keep him out of office and if you didn’t do that then you contributed to his election. Period. Stop whining about perfection and do some good in the world.

            You need to learn that you can’t bully people into voting for you anymore. Vote for us or everyone dies isn’t the compelling option you think it is.

              I’m not bullying. I’m stating what should be obvious to anyone that went to middle school. Listening to people whine about Trump and then discovering that they helped him get elected is what drives the conversation. What you don’t like is that the people whining about the world not being perfect are the same level of problem that trump is.
