But Trump is going to destroy the constitution and change all our laws. He is going to be king of the world!!! This is not a theory. It is inevitable. Life as we know it is going to be over.

I agree that the real owners of this country - the wealthy and powerful - will not allow it to be burned down. I also don't think they want all the marginalized groups you mentioned to be destroyed either. It would not be out of compassion of course. They want to be able to sell products to as many people as possible though. They'll allow these groups to have just enough so that they remain profitable assets. There will of course be hardships for many as more conservative laws are passed, but we won't lose our democracy. They will still have a vote where they can bring more liberal people back into power.

Ibanez has a lifetime OPS+ of 96 which is passable for a starting second baseman if he can maintain it. It's hard to evaluate his defense because he hasn't had a regular position, but he seems not to be a liability. I hope they explore an infield upgrade though.

When he does talk about policy, It's just one liners and demagoguery. It may be effective with his audience, but I don't know if I would call it "talking about policy".

There will be no substance. He's going to be the same shallow dickbag has been for 45 years. Why are you analyzing him like he's a normal person?

There will be attempted revenge, but nobody will go to jail, just like he won't go to jail. I don't think it would be as dire as people are saying. Just a lot of tough talk and a lot of chaos. Maybe they pass laws allowing him a third term and Obama will kick his ass in 2028! 😀

Why didn't it happen during his first presidency? Especialy the first two years when he had both the House and the Senate. "He just doesn't give a **** about anything aside from himself". Absolutely true, but I think one has to think outside themselves to be an authoritarian leader. He's too lazy and stupid and he surrounds himself with idiots.

I think it is unlikely that we become an authoritarian country if Trump wins. However, this is the first time in my life I thought it COULD happen which is chilling.

It's true that nobody can replace Short. I will kind of miss having Long and Short on the same team.

Four more years!

The real question of the day is who replaces Zach Short?

Kelly had a couple of decent years and then some injuries. I am not really surprised they are keeping him and hoping for good health and a rebound.

People believe what their leaders tell them if they repeat themselves often enough.

60 million per year will get you some talent if you go out enough years.

LOL, There is nothing brilliant about him at all. I agree he deserves no regard. He's an idiot. He is really good at BS though and gets a lot of help from the media. He hasn't lost any significant support in 8 years. He's hard to beat when your candidates are completely uninspiring.

No it didn't. Trump got the second most votes in history. Fortunately Biden got the first most. It will gake another historic turnout to beat him again. Trump still has a ton of support. I don't know where you guys are getting this idea that Trump is sinking. You've been saying it for 8 years. It's just wishful thinking.

I don't think he has lost any "popularity" in 8 years. He's the same guy that won in 2016 and was too close for comfort in 2020.

yet, he is still killing them in the primary voter polls.

I think they saw him as a good deal independent of what else they might be able to do this winter. Maybe they won't do much else at all, but I don't think the Canha trade is an indicator of that.

The relevancy is that they don't favor politicians in general.

I think a lot of voters pretend to care about the debt, but don't want to be the one who has to give up stuff up to get it under control.

Now do Congress.

Of course, he's not popular personally, but there are still are a lot of people that think he's good for the country. I would wager that the majority of white males think he's not THAT bad of a person, not bad enough where they will dismiss him politically. Sure, he's an idiot and a douche, but he's a businessman and he's good for the economy!!! He's tough and he gets things done!!! I know a bunch of people like that. Enough Americans like Trump where he won't "sink" like Echoes claims. We've been waiting for that to happen for 8 years and it it's not happening.

Good luck with that! They'll just keep believing everything he says.

Only if it's somebody who would vote Democrat otherwise.
