Rorschach Blot Candidate

He's a babbling fool. Yet he says things that his voters can latch on to... He makes no sense. He speaks in some sort of rambling stream of consciousness and people hear what they most want to hear.

They are hurting and he offers to hurt. That the ones that get hurt are not the ones that hurt them is of no consequence. He makes hatred okay.

He makes their anger and their hatred okay. He gives them permission to hate.

He is not the most interesting man in the world. He is the most dangerous man in the world.

He may well be our next President.

This baldly states the obvious

This piece makes one statement that has been echoing in my head for weeks now. Hillary Clinton is "simply not a progressive..."

That is the root cause of the problem her campaign cannot solve.

She may win anyway, but stagger into the general election weakened with a complete lack of enthusiasm from the progressive wing (which now includes the Miilenials).

Many of us will grit our teeth and vote again for the lesser of the two evils. The Millenials will probably just not vote.
