“Ummm... Paul Ryan is SOTH.

Been asleep for a few years?”


Ummm... here is a direct quote from the post:

“Now just contemplate the following scenario: (If I were a betting man, I would support this situation). IF /When the left wins control of the house and Senate during Mid terms,....”


See, the word “if” changes a scenario - by uttering or writing the word, the speaker/writer is assuming that you are bright enough to think about and consider alternative scenarios.

I guess that assumption was off a bit in your case.


However, as long as we are discussing the “if” scenario in this thread, let’s take a closer look. That the Republicans could lose the House, likely making Nancy Pelosi the Speaker, is well within the realm of possibility. That the Republicans could lose the Senate, when 25 of the 33 seats up for election next year are currently held by Democrats - several of whom are in states won by Trump in 2016 - , and the economy is manifestly improving, is far less likely, to the point of being almost nil. That the Republicans would lose enough seats to enable the Senate to vote by a 2/3 majority to convict Trump (which is the necessary to remove a President from office after impeachment and a trial in the Senate), is about as likely as winning the grand prize in the Powerball lottery on the only ticket that you ever played in your life. Oh, and then doing the same to Pence? That simply won’t happen - he’s been accused of nothing of significance by the Dems other than being too religious and too pro-life.

Nutty Nancy will never be President.

Apologies. We all do that sometimes. I was too hard on you. But I got a bit ticked that you were so hard on the guy, given his cancer.
