My point is that the ability of our nation to elect a human being as morally compromised, vile, and unacceptable - with no experience for the position - a lon list of conspiracy theories - and pretty much nothing going for him but the persona he created on "The Apprentice" says volumes about our country. That he can ride the tide of media popularity and nationalism to attain office once is a sad, but it says more about the degree of anger/reaction/gullibility of our population than anything else. If, however, it happpens a second time, the problem is significantly deeper. It is an indicator, to me, that the varying ways that our country has degraded over the years are irreversible (at least in my lifetime). I'm not going to spend the rest of my life feeling embarrassed of my country and countrymen, with little/no hope of effecting change. I'll go find a place where I can more happily and proudly live.
However, if your view was that electing Hillary reflected such a badly damaged and dysfunctional country that it was not likely to be repaired in your lifetime, and you still elected to stay here out of (blind?) loyalty, I have to wonder about your rationality. Why would anyone do that to themselves?
But we are discussing prematurely. We have 2.5+ years before we will know whether or not that is going to happen. I have high hopes that most of our citizens will be screaming "your fired" in 2020.
