Aleppo is the protagonist of the Legend of Samus, also called Metroid in his planar form.

I think that Johnson would have a very easy time getting the GOP in congress to rubberstamp 80% of his agenda.

I don't think so. I think you're underestimating the Republican habit of going 'That guy doesn't care about gays/religion/whatever my pet issue is, therefore I will fight him forever!!'

Then so be it. Maybe a few years of the country being paralyzed would be enough for the people and the country to get their heads from theirs and other's asses.

That exists?  Are you sure you aren't misattributing it to the fact that they hate democrats?  Gary Johnson isn't a democrat.

Sure it exists. Don't you remember the Tea Party and all the infighting that caused?

... the infighting where they still voted in lockstep on multiple issues and helped each other try to push through various legislation?

There was definitely conflict, but not the sort of ire you see directed towards the dems. I'd be surprised if johnson actually had much trouble getting the republicans to help out on any number of things the guy's after.

Well the Tea Party did actually lose some elections because they used the primaries to replace electable candidates with religious loons with "fully functioning mouse brains" (google it). The existing guy (who was pegged to win the election) was seen as too normal for them. It kinda feels like Trump is the culmination of that trend.

Keeping with my new membership in the Illuminati, here are some recent videos to keep you useless eaters warm at night. Calling for the execution of Bill Clinton, Hillary is secretly dying and has a 24-hour carer, and Obama used to bang dudes in Chicago and the Illuminati uses it to control him unlike Trump.

Bonus: Trump is a Messiah.

I suspect it's more likely to occur at state legislature level.

Where, sadly, basically nobody cares ever and if a seat is even in question it's almost entirely going to come down to national sentiment towards sitting president's/candidates' party/ies. >.>
