(15,425 posts)this country is absolutely stupid enough to make him POTUS, not for sure, but possibly.
I thought he was a real threat to win the GOP primary from day one because they are dumber than dumb is dumb, and have said he has the nomination in a sleeper hold since Thansksgiving, that he had achieve ungaffable status.
We just can't make a sure call one way or another on the general until a few weeks after the conventions.
He definitely could still keep sucking the air out of the race and choke it out.
But, I suspect he won't be able to help himself from acting like a complete jackass toward Hillary, who I think will be disciplined enough to not get down to his level, while having the capacity to tweak him and really set him off, and will come off more "likeable" or "sympathetic" than she would against a non asshole.
