“We will institute the powerful death penalty for drug dealers, where each dealer is responsible for the death, during their lives, of 500 people or more,” he said.

"Mothers will never again be forced to watch their children overdosing in hosp … and we will never allow mothers to watch their child hopelessly dying in their arms screaming, ‘What can I do, what can I do? Help me God, what can I do?’ We are a nation whose once revered airports are a dirty, crowded mess,” Trump continued, pivoting suddenly.

“You sit and wait for hours and then are notified that the plane won’t leave, that they have no idea when they will. Where ticket prices have tripled. They don’t have the pilots to fly the planes, they don’t seek qualified air traffic controllers, and they just don’t know what the hell they are doing.”

“We will take over the horribly run capital of our nation in Washington, D.C., and clean it up, renovate it, and rebuild our capital city, so that it is no longer a nightmare of murder and crime. But rather it will become the most beautiful capital anywhere in the world,” Trump said.

“Right now, if you leave Florida, ‘Oh, let’s go, darling, let’s look at the Jefferson Memorial, let’s look at the Washington Monument, let’s go and look at some of the beautiful scenes,’ and you end up getting shot, mugged, raped,” he warned, promising that he’d run the city “tough and smart.”

    I’ve seen a lot of comments saying he should step down. Lots of people talking about how unfit he is for office.

    Allow me to increment.

    He should step down. Ideally into a pit of lava, but that’s just a stretch goal.

      Sadly, these calls aren’t coming from within the party itself. The GOP is fully in lockstep with Trump, while the Dems are - once again - stabbing one another in the back as quickly as they can swing the knives.

        We should really take a lesson from the '80s Republicans, who had absolutely no problem pursuing their agenda despite a President who literally had Alzheimer’s during his second term.

          I’d say the deeper root of the problem is Congressional districts that encompass 600,000 residents each.

          Capping the number of House Reps has turned the local political class into a gaggle of celebrity fundraisers and mega-bundlers.

          How many people have actually met their Congressperson, much less a Senator?
