True, he's let millions know it's ok to be racist and a pig.

He's going to get crushed in the general and the GOP will just heal back up.

"True, he's let millions know it's ok to be racist and a pig."

At the least, he's saying it's OK to be amazingly crass.

Based on the way your side is behaving everywhere he shows up, I'm not sure they are learning any better lessons. Are Trump's fans rioting at Hilary speeches? If not, why is that, exactly? Even when the GOP is being led by the biggest jerk ever to get the nomination, his fans still aren't rioting.

"He's going to get crushed in the general "

I think that's the most likely outcome. She probably has higher unfavorable than anyone either party has ever nominated. Beating her was low-hanging fruit. And my side somehow managed to find someone who manages to turn even more people off. Amazing.

What they need to do is pull out the report they commissed after losing 8 years ago which gave them a blue print for winning back the Presidency. Instead they have a candidate who doubled down on the things that study said they shouldn't do.

I cannot fathom, given the field that the GOP started with, that we ended up with this guy. I just can't. Every time I hear Obama talk, what he says, makes me sick. Every time I hear Trump talk, even when I agree with the point he is trying to make, I cannot believe what a simpleminded, thin-skinned, egomaniacal, horse's ass he is.

That being said...if Hilary governs the way she says she will govern, there will be little to differentiate her from Weird Harold.

With Trump, I guess there is a chance that he would have better policy vision (in the opinion of anyone to the right of Mao Tse Tung) than Hilary.

(1) If I was an unborn baby, I'd certainly rather see Trump in there.
(2) If I'm a jihadist, I am pretty sure that I'd rather see Hilary in there.
(3) If I own a business or I'm looking for a white-collar job, I'd rather see Trump in there.

Those are the things that matter to me personally. So while it's a distasteful choice, it's an easy choice. I will plug my nose and vote for Trump.

There is a real chance he loses 49 states, and hands the Senate to Hilary as a going away gift.

Unless she gets indicted, in which case who the hell knows what will happen. That is still unlikely, but probably not as unlikely as I thought 6 months ago. 10 percent chance.
