A great op ed on Trump spelling out how the man is emotionally disturbed, where the blame lies for how close he is to the presidency, and the danger to the nation that awaites if he is elected.

(16,168 posts)I especially like the part where he talks about the media, I hope they start listening.
I wonder if one of the cspan channels can be turned into a 24 hour news network?
That might be some motivation for cnn et al to start doing their effing jobs.

Once again, we teeter between madness and greed.
Sad.
I'm voting for Bernie Sanders on Tuesday.
I'm 73. I've been politically active since I went to grade school and wore my first button for Adlai Stevenson, and I finally get to vote for a candidate who has integrity and will stand up for the American people and not just the American oligarchs.
I present to you Bernie Sanders, an ordinary guy but for his policy wonkiness, from the small, mostly white state of Vermont. I'm proud to be voting for him on Tuesday, prouder of my vote for him than for any vote in my life.
Bernie Sanders is the most positive, most delightful, most himself candidate we have ever had. And his policy proposals are the best thought out, the most intelligent, the most needed that I have heard in all my life.
I say this with certainty: 20 years from now, many of you who have or will vote for Hillary will look back at your vote this year and ask yourselves how you could have made such a big mistake.
Well. You did make that mistake, and you will pay for it long after I am out of this world. Unfortunately, so will my children and grandchildren.
For shame.

(64,920 posts)we vote for Secretary of State Clinton in the General Election? Obviously that is an assumption the SoS Clinton will be the nominee.
Just asking.

(8,261 posts)but worth the read. It's packed full of facts and a strong objection to what trump could do and is doing. The Media fed him and we need to stop him, everyone.

(26,117 posts)...especially his condemnation of the GOP and the media.
Even more contemptible is the partys embrace of Trump. For we have reached, as David Brooks wrote, the GOPs McCarthy moment - a turning point when concern for country should override grubby pragmatism. Except this reckoning is even more pressing - Joe McCarthy was not running for president; Donald Trump is. We cannot - must not - invest him with this power.
and
Wallowing in self interest, they have shrunk from saying what must be said: that Trump is unfit for higher office. Instead, they have breathlessly parsed his every move as if he were something grander, yet more normal, than a mentally disordered demagogue bereft of principles and starved for adulation.

The article is very well written, too. It's impossible to put into words how bizarre and infuriating Trump is, but this author comes extremely close.
