Elok's Optimism Challenge: How could Trump be worse?

[Elok]

Yes, he's a vulgar crypto-fascist who hates basically every minority, and yes, he has a huge following of probably heavily armed followers who adore him more and more the crazier he gets. Yes, he makes Newt Gingrich seem like presidential material by comparison. But I'm tired of being all negative. Let's try and look on the bright side and find ways Donald Trump could technically be worse.

He does not, for example, appear to have any particular hatred for Jewish people. We also have no reason to believe he has ever participated in the gang rape of a homeless person. Anything else?

[Kidlicious]

He's actually a decent person.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

he could be Hillary.

[loinburger]

He could be Hitler's brain in a robot body

[My Wife Hates CIV]

He could be the current lame duck we have now.

[loinburger]

He could be any politician who is more sane, less evil, and more liberal than he is

[My Wife Hates CIV]

he could be jeb

[loinburger]

Jeb would probably be a decent president. Pretty much any other Republican candidate would be a better president than Trump (if not necessarily a good president), with the possible exception of Carson who is dumber than a sack of bricks.

prince jeb who didn't get the throne. but dad?! how come??? you promised!!!!!!!

[Kidlicious]

Jeb would probably be a decent president. Pretty much any other Republican candidate would be a better president than Trump (if not necessarily a good president), with the possible exception of Carson who is dumber than a sack of bricks.

He was a neurologist. Trump is an excellent negotiater. What does Clinton have besides a horrible history of lying, failure and criminal activity?

[loinburger]

Hmm yes, an autistic brain surgeon and a racist businessman who has gone bankrupt four times are definitely more qualified than a woman (the horror!) who has never been convicted of anything.

[My Wife Hates CIV]

I like that. she's never been convicted. I guess you are correct.

[loinburger]

She also hasn't been murdered by the police, which I know is your favorite means of determining whether somebody is guilty of a capital crime

[My Wife Hates CIV]

but Hillary has. opps... wait, never convicted.

[loinburger]

Hillary's been murdered by the police? Are you drunk on Christmas?
