Who would try and pull that off? Paul Ryan is done for and he's headed for a more lucrative career as a lobbyist for the Heritage Foundation or something.

I have no idea. Maybe another political outsider/dark horse, like Trump himself.

Getting things done is the last thing I want out of our current government.

Mainly because whatever they do will only be things that help the rich and powerful, while leaving everyone else out in the rain and mud.

And don’t forget that I’m allergic to electricity to the brain

No he's worse than President Trump.

My electric bill disagrees.

The rich, powerful, and evangelical.

Yes, Trump, the guy who had an affair with a pornstar, cares about if someone is evangelical or not.

Of course, it’s so obvious!

The establishment still sucks and we should still overthrow and outlaw the Republican and Democratic parties. That's all folks.

There's a reason that they like him so much.

The rich, powerful, and evangelical.

Which is the base. But those evangelicals are still perfectly fine with Trump or Pence regardless of what they do.

Increasingly I'm in agreement, if just to bring a halt to the ridiculous partisanship in politics now, start afresh.

Anyone noticed a change of tone in some of Trump's tweets, if he's not railing at the conspiracy then he's all 'from your favourite president, 'cheerio good people', 'enjoy Sunday, enjoy a Sundae!

More like he cares about appeasing them, and thus would be inclined to push their agenda.

I prefer Supreme Leader or Chairman.

If you've been electrocuting gays on your own time then that's your problem. Even if Pence had been President then I strongly doubt he would have reimbursed you.

Alright Chairman WRA, what's your first order as leader?

Because he panders to them. Politicians do it all the time, just like Hillary attracted the anti corporate crowd despite having corporate donors.

We need to get rid of the electoral college.

Also, our smaller parties need to stop have such... giant disaparities in their beliefs (I swear, everytime I find one that looks good, they always have one or two point that just makes me question "...why?").

I’m not sure switching the labels would much affect things.

He is doing what they want, and that's the point.
