Florida Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has announced she will resign as chair of the Democratic National Committee. The resignation is to become effective after the party's convention. The organisation's e-mail system was hacked; leaked e-mails appear to confirm accusations that Wasserman-Schultz had taken action favouring Hillary Clinton in her contest against Bernie Sanders to become the Democratic Party's presidential nominee. Sanders had previously called for Wasserman-Schultz to resign, a request he reiterated in light of the leak.
Wasserman-Schultz said in a statement:
I know that electing Hillary Clinton as our next president is critical for America's future. I look forward to serving as a surrogate for her campaign in Florida and across the country to ensure her victory.

My thinking is that Trump is so dangerously inept and impulsive that he'll blow the whole thing up. I'd rather lose 20% of the uranium supply of the US to Russia then to have 100% of the uranium supply of the US destroyed due to large nuclear explosions. Among other things, one of those scenarios has me still alive when the dust settles.
Also, any idea that Trump is actually good at what he does is total nonsense. He's rich because his daddy was rich, and he's famous because he's rich.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a compiler is a good guy with a compiler.

He is that dangerously inept, but he knows it, thats why his VP is effectively going to be president [slate.com], handling all the policy decisions and day-to-day affairs, while his one job as "president" will be "Making America great". A vote for a Trump "presidency" will really be a vote for a Pence presidency, which is even scarier.

I can't imagine Trump's ego (which is yuuuuuuuge!) would ever settle for just being a figurehead.

Fail to imagine it all you want, but its the truth [baltimoresun.com]:
Pence likely got the same deal.

The people who vote for candidates from either party are the ones who will doom us. Your post above makes it seem as if you're planning on voting for Trump; you're not much better than the ones voting for Hillary, if at all.

I was referring to the ridiculous statement "to have 100% of the uranium supply of the US destroyed due to large nuclear explosions." - LOL! So clueless...
