This thing might be the next president of the United States.
After yesterday’s results is pretty clear that the GE will be Clinton Vs. Trump.
That prospect fills me with glee and dread at the same time.
I almost never watch the debates, either during the primaries or the GE. But this time I will be glued to my TV.
The prospect of this clown going head to head with Hillary is almost too delicious to contemplate.
I understand why some people wonder if the Clintons are somehow behind the Trump campaign. I can’t think of a better opponent for any Democratic nominee. It’s almost like Hillary made a pact with the devil and sold her soul so she could go against Trump in the GE.
As with the rest of the GOP field, Trump is racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, vulgar, ignorant, incompetent, obnoxious. I would call him a pig, but that’s not fair to pigs.
But the difference is that Trump is completely incapable of helping himself. He has no filter. The GOP hates him, not because they disagree with him, but because he says out loud what the Republican Party is all about. He has removed the lid, and let out the stench of the cesspool that the party is.
The idea of him winning the presidency is laughable.
And, yet… It’s not.
Like a GOP operative said earlier this year, the party can nominate a ham sandwich and it would get 45% of the votes.
They’re nominating a shit sandwich, but the point remains valid.
I think he will win the same states Romney won in 2008. That’s 206 electoral votes.
The Republicans are doing their best (or worst) to suppress democratic voters wherever they can.
And there’s the unexpected.
God forbid, but there can be a big terrorist attack in the US.
The market could collapse.
Fear makes people do stupid things.
If this were a rational world, Hillary would bury him without breaking a sweat. But it’s not a rational world.
There are plenty of bigots out there.
And that is terrifying.
Many Sanders supporters say that voting for Hillary is just voting for a lesser evil.
That might be true, but if Hillary and Trump were illnesses, Hillary would be a chest cold and Trump would be Ebola.
Well, the same can be said about Cruz or Kasich. But the point is that Trump is winning.
Every rational voter in this country must do his/her best to make sure Trump is never President.
No complacency and no sitting out this election. The stakes a too great.
