Why? You need a basically competent person who aligns with the platform of the party (the party almost always has two wings). Who would be your ideal candidate? (pick from the past if the current crop is so lacking). The one thing farmore pathetic than a given candidate pool is the intellectually lazy "everybody sucks" attitude.

It seems the personal character and integrity of a President is no longer relevant to being elected. It's kind of like the quaint idea that Presidents should have military experience but looking back since Clinton, it seems that having military experience will just about guarantee you are not going to be in the Whitehouse.

Maybe Trump will set the standard that your personal life is your private business and anything goes as long as you are on the right team.

Everybody? Did I screw up my ballot?

Were you a state Elector? ;-)

How about: "Enough people in enough states cast ballots for him that he easily won the Electoral College and became our president, despite those same people knowing all the bad stuff about him"?

You guys can fight over this fellow all you want. Because I was the only one here smart enough to totally waste my vote on a non-binary Johnson/Weld ticket. So I get to sit up there in the Statler and Waldorf balcony and hurl gratuitous insults. LOL!

But would YOU vote for him?

BTW - this post was prompted by this guy:

A pastor closely linked to Donald Trump said he’s against sex with adult film stars but isn’t holding the alleged affair with Stormy Daniels against the president.

“Evangelicals still believe in the commandment: Thou shalt not have sex with a porn star,” Robert Jeffress told Fox News on Thursday. “However, whether this president violated that commandment or not is totally irrelevant to our support of him.”

Jeffress, who is an evangelical adviser to the president, said Trump’s personal behavior isn’t an issue.

“Evangelicals knew they weren’t voting for an altar boy when they voted for Donald Trump,” he said. “We supported him because of his policies and his strong leadership.”

Because I want some new blood. Brown, Biden, Sanders, and Warren don't trip my trigger.

I could go for a Booker Gavin Newsome ticket.

Back to the question. No. I wouldn't. Trump has cavalierly increased the deficit past $1Trillion dollars during a boom period. The best thing Obama did was drop the deficit from an eye-popping 1.2T to a still-too-high 400B (shout out to sequestration). Trump's approach should help for several years (my 401K salutes you!) but it will end badly. If there are only two choices, I'll take "tax and spend" over "borrow and spend".

Who's running against him? Who is the DNC's best shot at the moment? Given what happened last election, I'm not sure who they would even match with him. Biden?

I think that's the biggest problem the Dems are facing, who to run against Trump. So far, the path is open to Trump winning again.

I actually think Trump's biggest obstacle is not the Democrat nominee but another Republican stepping up to challenge him.

Maybe Trump will set the standard that your personal life is your private business and anything goes as long as you are on the right team.

Define "right team." He never had the support of the GOP or Team Donkey during the entire election cycle. He never even had the support of the GOP early in his Presidency. So, what is this "right team" of which you speak?

Whether Trump had the support of the GOP during the entire election cycle is kind of meaningless since the GOP nominated him and he is the President representing the Republican party.

The Republican party nominated him despite common knowledge of his personal life and were more than happy to set those aside to win. Both parties have shown a willingness to overlook personal character to win.

AS OF 3/9/18, the only ones that are being talked about to challenge Trump are the never Trumpers like Flake and Kasich. Those two, who most Dems love, make most conservatives vomit. For him to lose the nomination, I’d think he’d have to screw up NK, Russia, mess with guns to severely, Tariffs go badly, or combinations thereof.

the media is on these stories like maggots in a gut wagon simply because its Trump.

No.
