Skald had never been this cruel: you have a choice - win the 2016 WS or un-elect Donald Trump. If you choose the WS, you get Trump. If you choose “no” on the Series, you get your preferred candidate (since this is a dream, might as well make it pleasant.)
What do you choose? WS with Trump in charge the next 4 years, or give up the game to save the country from 4 years of idiocy?
I’d give up the World Series and take another 100 years of mediocrity if i can never see Donald Trump again!

Hell, I’d let the Mariners* leave town* if we could be done with Mr. Trump immediately.
well, theyre gonna win again this year, so goodbye mr chimps!
mc (orig from chi, spent 20 yrs in sw, now back in chi. between the cubs and padres the phrase "we’ll get em next year is muscle memory)
If you’re a Cubs fan, the thing is, if they lose Game 7 last year, they remain the best team in the National League, and are well positioned to put excellent teams on the field for several years to come. So if you give up the 2016 World Series you have at least a decent shot at the same prize in 2017, 2018, etc.
Getting rid of Trump is a one time only chance.
I’d sacrifice not only the Cubs, but the Indians as well. Sorry, Tribe.
Grew up close enough to Chicago to watch the Cubs on WGN sans cable. Getting rid of Trump puts Pence in charge, need to get him out as well and throw in Bannon while you’re at it.
Your poll is missing “Cubs victory AND Trump wins… I’m happy with BOTH!”
Because that’s how I would vote.
Ah well. As I recall, the Indians were a worthy foe, and well deserving of ending their own World Series drought.
So, Rizzo fumbles that last toss, and joins Leon Durham in infamy.
AIUI, the OP means that Pence, Bannon, etc. would never get into power in the first place, since they were attached to Trump and if he didn’t win last November, they don’t win. It’s not like an after-the-fact impeachment scenario, where Trump goes but Pence stays.
I read that as Lena Dunham, and was picturing her playing pro baseball…
As a Cardinals fan in Illinois, I say we give up the Cubs championship, no questions asked. 
Trump can go, too, but no need for one to be tied to the other.
Yeah, as a Cardinals fan, I’d not only give up the Cubs’ championship, I’d be willing to sacrifice the entire franchise.
Maybe DrCube and I are the wrong people to ask.
What they said. 
Your hypothetical sacrifice inspires hypothetical millions. Thank you. 
Yes. Cubs win WS or Trump loses on November 8th.
I imagine this would be a bigger Sophie’s Choice style question for someone like Patton Oswalt if he had to choose between preventing his wife’s accidental death or preventing Trump from getting into office.
SF Giants fan here. And I’m with Tim at #8. I like winners.
GO GIANTS!!!
If I had to pick a Chicago team, I’d probably go with the Sox anyway…sorry Cubbies.
You can’t put that burden on Chicagoans! We didn’t put Trump in office- he lost Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois!
