Sour grapes of course.
The Democrat party lost the election and wants a coup against the elected President. Sad!
If the Democrat that I had helped get elected had compromised national security, enriched himself in shady dealings while President, and had obstructed justice -- then you would want him gone.
So would I.
The last thing that I want is a coup. We could witness the replacement of the pinhead of a President that we now have with a Pinochet, which is a raw deal for everyone.
I want the President impeached and removed even if that implies that we end up with an even-more objectionable pol as President. The big thing is to ensure that we have a Vice-President with some integrity, which is all that I can hope for as a Democrat. As it is the succession to the Presidency is a rogue's gallery of extremists, cronies, and yes-men.
I understand that this (if Pence also goes) may save Republican majorities in both Houses of Congress and most state legislatures. It is more important that we have free and fair elections in 2018 and 2020 than that they go a certain way.
Yes, I wanted Barry gone. But we do not historically overthrow the voters in this country merely because some folks have sour grapes over losing an election. The course of action by normal people is to seek to make a President a one term President.
Back in Barry's days he pointed out that elections are not run by the federal government and therefore cannot be rigged, at least by the President.
LinkHe also told folks to stop whining and go out there and make the case to get votes.
LinkI should correct my earlier statement, though. Your coup seems to involve not only overthrowing the elected President, but also the elected Vice President as well. Those are the only 2 men chosen nationally by the voters!
Who is this unelected Vice-President with some integrity that you propose installing on the American public?
