The RWNJs really want election 2016 to signal an Apocalypse and only want to watch everything burn, even if it’s not Batman’s Gotham City.
We now have achieved Peak Trump and arrived at the moment where US political debate becomes the Jerry Springer Show. and 2016 America is not a lifeboat but apparently Flight 93.
Was the GOP this stupid or did they truly believe that there were any tactical solutions to this dumpster fire.
The deplorables have naturally brought up all the Bill history in prepping the ground for Sunday’s debate.
More importantly, one feels for poor Barron Trump and his Cyber use... there probably won’t be as much access when he gets sent off to military school.
False equivalence is a logical fallacy in which two opposing arguments appear to be logically equivalent when in fact they are not. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency.[1]

“a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.”
The term rickrolling was in the news again in July 2016, after presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump's wife Melania Trump gave a speech at the 2016 Republican National Convention that had verbiage similar to the lyrics of the Astley song "Never Gonna Give You Up'", suggesting that the speechwriter had rickrolled the audience.[16]
Ross Ass-hat on Donald Trump — Playboy of the Western Omelet (and not the Anti-Christ):
This election was supposed to be a referendum on Hillary Clinton, long a polarizing figure because she seemed to embody the cultural transformations of the 1960s — the liberal, feminist, working-mother spouse of the first boomer president.
But in the year of Donald Trump, the religious conservatives who fought many of those transformations find themselves reduced to a hapless rump. The best have retreated to rebuild; the worst have abased themselves before a sybaritic, irreligious presidential nominee.
So apparently 2016 is the #Flight93Election where patriotic Trumpists must rush America’s flightdeck even if tehDonald thinks it’s a cockpit.
“2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die,” the pseudonymous author, Publius Decius Mus, begins. “You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees. Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain.
To compound the metaphor: a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.”
The election of 2016 is a test—in my view, the final test—of whether there is any virtù left in what used to be the core of the American nation. If they cannot rouse themselves simply to vote for the first candidate in a generation who pledges to advance their interests, and to vote against the one who openly boasts that she will do the opposite (a million more Syrians, anyone?), then they are doomed. They may not deserve the fate that will befall them, but they will suffer it regardless.
