Twilight Zone?

4. Remember the last convention?

The fundies all wanted Santorum. The Dixie and midwest bigots wanted Gingrich. Romney came in with enough votes for the nomination and the various factions were told to sit down and shut up because he was more electable. The looks of disbelief, anger and desolation on the people holding Santorum signs were memorable.

Well, not only did "electable" Romney not get elected, he got trounced in the electoral vote.

This time, the factions are a little different, but Trump has lost the fundies and the "it's his turn" party stalwarts. He's got the bigot vote sewn up. What remains to be seen is whether or not the fundies, especially, can be told to sit down and shut up for the second convention in a row. We could hear a lot of booing when Drumpf gets on stage, at which point he'll blow a fit. We could also see a lot of delegates simply walk out. Or they could meekly line up and follow the leader, unlikely but possible.

The other wild card will be what's happening in the streets outside. If a bunch of scruffy 20 somethings are beaten and shot by partygoers, this could be Nixon II and that sociopath could actually get elected.

What I'd really like to do is go to bed and sleep until the first of December and then wake up and decide if this is the time to get the hell out of the country or not.

The rest of you can pop the corn and watch the show. It should be interesting.
