I'd settle for a coupla years of Pence. He just can't manipulate the media, crazify the base & cow the GOP quite the way Trump can. He'd never win re-election.
NY is one of the most corrupt self-serving state there is and Trump believe it or not is a perfect representation of that state, even though it's run by supposedly holier than though Democrats.

Marton said New York election law is so porous that many seemingly corrupt behaviors are not technically illegal. Because the New York state legislature is “part-time,” lawmakers are eligible to seek other sources of income and have wide latitude to manage their finances in ways Marton said are prone to abuse.
“We looked at things that were legal but shouldn’t be,” said Marton. “Actual criminal activity was the exception because the laws are very difficult to break.”
Janos Morton, former special counsel to
the Moreland Commission The commission issued around 300 subpoenas, which ran into stonewalling from legislators who many speculated were planning to wait out the commission’s projected 18 to 24 month life span. The New York Times later reported that Cuomo’s office had interfered with the commission’s work, prompting a federal investigation from U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara ’93.
Wu said that public disgust with the system and the commission’s unceremonious end boosted his ultimately unsuccessful campaign.
“Getting involved with New York state politics, I felt I looked into the heart of darkness, far worse than I expected, and I’ve felt the chill ever since,” said Wu, the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law.
Briffault agreed that the state of affairs is concerning.
“New York state continues to face very serious ethical and corruption challenges and there is not much reason to believe the government will reform itself,” Briffault said. “Any change will have to come from outside of Albany.”
Funny people seemed to say the same about Hillary (that she could run rings around him) and yet look who’s in office.

Running against an opponent that is backed by foreign money (knowingly or unknowingly) which doesn’t need to play by any rules is tough to beat.
Who would have guessed that.

How concerned are you regarding his obvious religious allegiance?
Everyone knows NYS politics is super corrupt but that doesn’t necessarily matter here. What does matter is that it’s likely that prosecuting Trump and his family is in the best political interests of people in power here. What better way to raise your standing in a run for higher office in New York than putting the Trump family in prison?
Now it’s possible that doesn’t happen for a dozen different reasons but New York is in a unique position where Trump 1) likely has a lot of criminal exposure and 2) it is advantageous to those in power to go after it.
Not much considering the Congress we'll have.
I tend to agree. Evangelicals mindsets are often unnerving to me, being born and raised evangelical has that effect.
I guess you don't think people should be held accountable for their crimes? Oh wait you don't think Trump should be held accountable.So much hate. Not healthy. Your TDS is showing.
Agreed. Whether he deserves to be in there or not is irrelevant. Presidents (or runners up)don’t go to jail. Talk of locking him (or her) up is just each side frothing at the mouth. It’s not gonna happen.
Edit: and I wish that weren’t the case, but it’s he reality.
They don't call him Conflatucius for nothing. Guy has a reputation to keep up.He keeps conflating Federal and State offices and laws because he doesn't dare do otherwise.

Presidents don’t go to jail. That’s a reality America has to deal with.
He's fucking old... you act like any of that will ruin him or his family. He already has his money. He already has his assets, etc... Even if what you said were true (and his "reputation" were tarnished - as if it already wasn't yet he continues just fine) - it won't make a difference at this point in his life.
For our international, especially EU members I suggest you think of NY as the welcoming nation and the politician on the sign as Trump. Everything else is pretty much the same, except Trump's EU counterpart actually has more influence in Scotland's affairs.

yeah, Falwell Jr might be even more of an irredeemable cvnt than his corpulent, self-hating, closeted father was. Sr. probably molested the fuck out of Jr, though, which explains a lot about Liberty University and the type of shits that are associated with that termite nest.
