What if ...


the Donald Trump/Mike Pence ticket wins in November? This upset victory might result in a number of interesting and maybe attractive developments:

- Hellary will divorce Bill and marry Huma

- Bill will devote his life to investigating female sex slave trafficking

- Barbara Streisand might move to Australia as promised

- Obummer will start his Family Foundation with the eventual intention of buying Kenya

- Newt Gingrich will be named Chief of Staff

- Mark Cuban will have lost a close friend

- Mar-a-Largo might become the summer White House

- Construction will start on the Keystone Excel pipeline

- Justice Ginsburg will not resign from the SCOTUS even when on a respirator

- Mexico will refuse to pay for the Wall

- Chris Christie will be named Attorney General

- The Clinton Foundation will have lost its major funding sources and may fold

- Rosie O'Donnell and Lena Dunham will move to Canada

- Melania Trump will attempt to buy back all her nudie photos

- Coal and other energy companies' stock prices will soar

- Paul Ryan and/or Jeb Bush might slit their wrists

- Bernie Sanders will retire to his new beach-front home

What if ...


the 2016 presidential race were to be between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump? In order to assess this disturbing choice, I have developed the following comparisons:

As president.                                         Hillary                                   Donald
he/she would:                                       Clinton                                   Trump    

Keep us safe from                               Unlikely                              More likely
radical Muslims

Keep us safe                                        Unlikely                                   Likely
from Russia

Keep us safe                                        Unlikely                                  Unsure
from China

Be liked by.                                             Yes                                            No
Western Europe

Be liked by                                               No                                             Yes
Eastern Europe

Fix immigration                                      No                                            Yes
problems

Reform taxes                                   No ... more taxes                        Possibly

Reform entitlements                          No ... more                                  Yes

Reform regulations                                 No                                         Possibly

Strengthening our military                  Unlikely                                     Yes

Fix Obamacare                                        No                                            Yes

Reduce deficit                                          No                                          Likely

Demagogue                                              Yes                                            Yes

Self-serve                                                  Yes                                             Yes


I think this is enough to distinguish between these two candidates. If Trump is hopefully not the Republican choice, then I suggest that you repeat this exercise for that one that is ... I know I will.
