He didn't save the world the first time (despite promising he would drain the swamp within days) so why would anyone think he would do it the second time?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I know. But they love him. Kamala didn't inspire enough people to vote Dem which didn't help.
The fact that Donald got any votes when up against his diametric opposite, says more about voters. Don't tell me "Kamala didn't inspire" when you're talking about actual good people doing good things led by a learned former prosecutor vs bad people doing bad things following a multiple felony racist who failed at even being a scumbag used-house dealer and casino lowlife.
I feel the pope couldn't run against whatever scumbag the GOP puts up and get more than half the votes.
Without "liberty and justice for all," quite simply there is no "one nation" anymore anyway.
If she'd inspired enough people she'd have won. Trump is exciting. Vile, but exciting. People that vote for him like that.

This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of "DEl going too far"
Translation: This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “Minorities and women getting too much equality and needed to be put back in their place”.
Republicans have been disillusioned for decades, but they tow the party line anyway.
Once this Orange turd is done there won't be another republican government elected for a long long time.
I hope your optimism can become reality.
But we thought Trump's blatant corruption and criminality the first time would be more than enough to keep the Republicans out of power for a few decades....
Me too. This time around it has to be Everyone going to vote and walk out.
Once the orange turd is done there will only be Republican government and no more elections
