Yeah, I've had that thought as well. ANYTHING is possible, the moment you stop considering all possibilities is the moment that they TRULY have you.

Voicing these thoughts, some people will call you a troll. But the real troll is the moron who never considers all angles.

I don't THINK it's a distraction. But I keep that possiblity open. The same way I don't THINK Trump is actually evil, but I keep that possibility open. Think of it, what if Trump came out and back-stabbed all of us basically, in some way or another that was HUGE. (Like no question he was evil, kind of huge). That would be a real morale crusher, wouldn't it? Be honest. It would. It would wreak havoc. But if you've already thought of that scenario, then it won't have as big of an effect, at least you thought about it, and weren't taken by surprise.

Now before people start freaking out, do I think that's the case? no. I don't. But you always have to look many moves ahead and look at all possibilities no matter how slim they may be. It's what you are supposed to do.
