What does he expect when he spews hate speech for months? When he both tacitly and openly condones violence at rallies? When he goads his clueless supporters into reenacting the Nuremberg Rallies? When he openly vilifies a religion and a whole ethnic group? When he appeals to the basest instincts of human nature?

Really? What does this man expect, and why is he shocked when he sees what he's done?

I predict that Cleveland '16 will come to have the same meaning as Chicago '68.
