Someone please reassure me

34. Sorry, but IMO, this is what mining documents to reinforce

preconceptions instead of for information results in. How else to explain it?

Here's reality, JHRobbins:

The GOP has essentially abandoned all hope of winning the presidency. Almost all GOP leaders are publicly saying they will not support or vote for Trump, a message to their electorate.

Black money ultraconservatives, with something like $950 million readied for 2016, were not able to invest any of it in a winnable candidate for the presidency and abandoned that office to the Democrats earlier in the year, diverting all their attention to down-ticket races. They've also, I feel sure, had to abandon plans for election tampering at the presidential level (only). Things are so bad that electronic voting machine vulnerabilities simply cannot be used to throw the election to Trump. Great joke on them--as far as it goes.

This is reality, JHRobbins. Expect some nervous palpitations as the press pumps up an occasional good moment for Trump here and there, but no.
