I hope you don't think I don't take him seriously b/c I do! Yes, I find him entertaining but when it comes down to it he is NO JOKE! People thought I was ridiculous when I said he had a VERY good chance of winning last year and they think I am ridiculous now when I tell them he will most likely get a second term. Considering all the BS, controversies and ridiculousness he's able to get away with and people are willing to overlook, I don't see him going anywhere anytime soon. This is not a popular opinion but he knew the game & system and he played it well & won. Credit must be given when it is due. Another unpopular opinion, we get the government we deserve (I think this is similar to your point). On a "positive" note, his presidency has brought to the forefront many issues we have avoided and tried to sweep under the rug. Whether this will initiate a significant positive change in the near future is yet to be determine. All we can do is do our best, hope for the best and take it a day at a time. Things are going to get worse until it gets better---it is still the beginning...
