(3,447 posts)...the Republicans. I've been watching their type all day, but it's mainly just the establishment leaders. Sure, it looks messy, but that's because they have big voices. IOW, these people didn't vote for Trump to begin with and were still soundly, totally, and completely blown out in vote numbers. That means 'new voters', not 'one of my lifelong 20,000 followers'. In short, they were completely mauled by a group of bored meme makers who had a fight picked with them a couple years ago and a few other professionals working under what is ostensibly the 'Trump campaign', and one powerhouse named Roger Stone. A 50+ year plan of global governance was essentially brought low by anime watchers, an old man, and a couple small companies (or it will go down as the second-greatest long con in the history of the world).
Their voices won't mean a damn thing in 2 months. They don't mean a thing NOW. This is literally 5 Stages of Grief stuff here. Anger.
Now, that doesn't mean we won't still win. Just that we shouldn't get cocky. This will NOT be a cakewalk unless Bernie is our nominee.
