TRUMP IS THE NOMINEE!
I am not a fan of Hillary but she or Bernie will rip trump to pieces. And the good news is that our convention is after theirs.
So we will have a LOT of stuff to attack them with!
And the debates will be a joke, trump is an idiot. I bet he skips them.

(7,820 posts)I do not think it's good news he's their nominee. I think he could actually win, and that terrifies me. Maybe he'll self destruct but that's not at all a sure thing. I hope enough people see through his schtick but there is an incredibly strong antiestablishment mood in the country right now, and the appeal of celebrity is strong.
Be braced for a major fight, and don't underestimate him. Yeah, he's a con man- but he's a damn good one.

(1,000 posts)people misunderestimating Trump are in for some bad times
Cruz would have been a far preferable opponent, ridiculously easy to beat.
Trump's a complete wildcard. Everyone who has made predictions of his political demise - which is like, almost everyone - has been dead wrong.
Somehow we are ending up putting forth an insider's insider in an election year where people from across the spectrum are mad as hell at the status quo.
This is not going to go well.
