    Yeah, it’s tragic for anyone in that situation. It also sucks extra hard that he’s become our collective tragedy, but the universe is like that sometimes.

      If Trump had never existed wouldn’t it have been someone else to fill his role though?

        I don’t know if there was anyone else in the field in 2016 who has the same mix of traits to do the kind of damage he did to the country. I could be wrong about this, but I think a president Cruz would have been slimy and made the country worse but I don’t think he would have been as bad.
