        I still have hope we'll be surprised by America's ability to survive a bad president.

        NLEOMF cites 1,375 US cop deaths under G.W., 942 under Obama through 2015. http://www.nleomf.org/facts/officer-fatalities-data/year.html …

        That's 7 Obama years to G.W.'s 8, but if you add Obama's worst year again, it's 1,113 (262 fewer than G.W.).

        your bubble obviously doesn't include people not in a position of societal power if you need to state this. Diversity equals insight.

        Right. Somehow Hillary was the path forward to a bright and beautiful America. America was getting f'd either way. Just decide how

        I would say more that America in general is slowly slipping into a hole, Trump is just a manifestation of that trajectory.

        I agree, but better to make specific, measurable predictions. See "Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction"
