Just rename it to Investigation Day. It's a Memorial to the once less disappointing presidency.

I'm hoping I misunderstood you here. Are you suggesting we credit Trump as having done something good if he tweets something that was absolutely awful but there was potentially something even worse that he could have tweeted, but didn't?

No it isn't. Not in the fucking slightest. The specific claim made is that there was an offence committed that the FBI should have investigated. That claim was a lie, and my post gives precisely the reason that it's a lie. It's exactly the opposite of a cop-out: it's a direct refutation of the central point.
Also, the whole idea of having a primary is silly and only serves to preserve the shitshow that is two-party politics: the parties should just choose their damned candidates and get on with the real elections.

Wouldn’t abolishing primaries protect the two party system more than keeping them would?

By 2020, trump is going to be in a debate with the dem nominee (I'm assuming he hasn't criminalized the dems at this point), walk up to the microphone, drool all over it and intermittently bark, and his supporters will applaud like he's MLK.

Firstly, he won't drool. Secondly, he won't bark. Thirdly, if he were that unstable by then, he wouldn't have made it to the debate, let alone the microphone. Fourthly, his supporters aren't that stupid. Fifthly, that was an interesting thing to imagine.

I'm not sure I'd be surprised if Trump just pulled out a gun and shot the nominee for interrupting one of his incoherent rambles.

I'll grant you the first two; I was being hyperbolic. But as for the third, who'd tell him no? The problem is your fourth point, his supporters are that stupid. That's the fundamental problem with trump: he's been given power by a mix of complete idiots and bigots.

Probably his nurses would.
No, not at all. I don't consider myself a year ago stupid. Most people who support President Trump are just the same as people who don't.

They just see the world in a fundamentally different way than those that didn't. Such is the psychology of partisanship and tribal attitudes.
