We dont really know the level that rump could try to get to, lets hope how everything is set up prevents the worst that could happen.

I guess some it is my frustration and anger with the loss. And to me, what some have asked for over the last 6 year and what it could cause. We need hope that own institution of a government will survive. I just see as what some want would or could hasten its demise. I have seen too many on the right say let it crash, and over all I like our country too much to see it die.
