It was also common knowledge and undeniable that Donald Trump could never be elected president...

I do not wear rose colored glass, I just see what might be.

A positive attitude can move mountains.

Yep, among the liberal/leftist faction of America, of which I am not a part of. Thus I knew it would be close, because Hillary is so unlikable even within her party. I argued with many on this board and on other boards that he would become our next president.

Well perhaps you are not wearing rose colored glasses, but clearly you are looking through some kind of prism, or you are wearing blinders if you believe the swamp creatures will vote itself out of office and the environment that enriches them.

Why do you think we will never have term limits? The only reason the president has term limits is because it rankled the Republicans when FDR was elected for his 4th term. Republicans were then in charge of Congress. In 1947, they pushed through the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, limiting future presidents to two four-year terms. The ratification of the amendment came on this date in 1951, when Minnesota became the 36th state to ratify it.

But they would never pass an amendment that would limit their termss in office.

What you mat also forget is that the GOPe was so incensed that the base would select Donald J. Trump they talked about denying Trump even if the base selected him. How they resisted that one is beyond me, because that is the kind of move the “stupid” party (a.k.a. The Republican) usually makes. Perhaps it was the hue & cry from the base that if they did pull such a stunt, the Republican Party would never win another race.
