2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)I really don't understand how Trump is even competitive in this race [View all]
I know the country is very partisan, and Republicans hate Hillary, and all that, but I've never seen anyone run a worse presidential campaign than Trump. No one even close in my lifetime.
He's basically insulted every demographic possible, even his uneducated base of white males.
What rule or norm hasn't he broken? What cruel, racist, sexist obnoxious thing hasn't he said? He's been incoherent on policy. He's proposed seriously insane things. He knows almost nothing about the job of president and how the government works. He's insulted the military and the leadership, insulted the intelligence community. He doesn't understand nuclear weapons. He got absolutely trounced in the 3 debates. He shows every sign of being a Russian agent. He is petty, child-like, and has no impulse control. His voice and face and hair are grotesque. He's clearly a conman, and a scam artist. He has at least a dozen women accusing him of sexual assault!!!
I mean, WTF????????????????
I'm not saying Dems should be over-confident or anything, and I know the odds of Hillary winning are good. But I still don't get at all why he is even close? What is with ANYONE voting for this guy?
Just because he's supposedly rich? Somehow this rich elitist playboy appeals to working class folks and will be their champion??? They honestly think he's going to "make American great again", somehow without any real plan or without driving us into the ditch? Is it just conservatives have gone insane??? Do this many people really want to blow up the system?
Someone please help me.
