http://www.vox.com/2016/7/18/12215214/donald-trump-mike-pence-60-minutesOn Sunday night, Donald Trump and Mike Pence sat down with 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl for their first joint interview. It got weird quickly.
"You said you would declare war against ISIS," Stahl asked Trump. "What exactly do you have"
I assume Stahl would have finished the question with "in mind." But Trump jumped in. He was ready, or seemed to be. "It is war!" He interjected.
Stahl, too, was prepared. "When you say, declare war, do you want to send American troops in there?" she asked.

... I hate to think of this, but I wonder ... thinking the unthinkable ... given how tough the job is, I wonder if trump won (don't count out GOP demagoguery and M$M's help) how long would it be before he said: "That's it. I quit." .. I'd say about three months.
Maybe they should start the betting on PredictIt...

(74 posts)3. i've wondered that all along
he is about himself, and if that's true, it'd be a heck of a lot more fun to be Donald Trump, than POTUS
as he is, he can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, for the rest of his life - but, he becomes POTUS, he's pretty much prisoner of the office, perhaps for the rest of his life
