This response absolutely nails it. Pack it in, thread’s done.
"Will delivering the Death Star plans to the Rebellion help the Empire tighten its grip on local star systems? So far it seems to be paying off."
He won by a total of just over 75,000 votes. Since them he's alienated independent voters, created massive tensions in families, spurred an attempted insurrection, stole government secrets, and even turned large swaths of his own party against him...the only way he wins is by causing a civil war.
If he tries, he severely underestimates the actual resiliency of the American system. I know that it seems so risky, but I hope he wins the Republican nomination so that he gets absolutely crushed.
I hate that I live in a world where this is a legitimate question.
It makes him a martyr to the eyes of christian fundamentalists, and christian fundamentalists love martyrs.
lol NO
If it does , then there is a much deeper issue than just Trump. Fairly sure most Americans feel that to be true.
