I keep telling myself that this country will not elect a fascist bigot. We cannot. 

That Trump has come this far though...it's scary.

Trumps not the scariest part. It's all the people that put him there.

 QUOTE:
This joke is starting to not be funny anymore. But I really wonder if Trump is trying to win. His VP is a fool who helps him with nothing. And I really don't see two white guys on a ticket winning in this country anymore.

It makes the conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton hired Trump to help win the election seem a little more real, doesn't it? Seemed like such an odd choice.

I worry that if Trump got in I wouldn't know who's actually running the county!
He's so out of his element I'm sure faceless advisors would be making decisions for him. 

With Hillary of course, Bill would be making the decisions.

Complete and utter sexist nonsense. Would Hilary use
Bill's previous contacts and relationships to the
utmost? Of course. But make no mistake, this will be
*Hilary's* presidency, not a stealth third term for
Bill.

Don't kid yourself. Whether it's true or not, many will be voting for Hillary Clinton expecting exactly that!

So far, the RNC has been a hateful mess of a convetnion. They can't even stick to the themes they presented for the night. Can't imagine Trump is gaining any advantage right now with undecided voters.

-C!

If you haven't seen this article yet, it's definitely worth reading, IMO:

I suspect that the Republican party has many smart, reasonable, rational, and conservative people who would be an excellent president. But they're smart enough to avoid all the crap and pressure that the GOP would put on them when running for president. It's kind of like working really hard to be the lead manure shoveler. An absolutely necessary job... but not one that anyone really should desire.

As for that 76% chance to win the presidency? That was the dice roll someone made, that's all. I had a 76% chance to be burnt up by a red dragon the other night, but I made my saving throw anyhow. And if the GOP isn't a red dragon... :)

What I don't understand is the "Anyone but Hillary" memes I see all the time on Facebook. Do people actually plan on voting for Trump just to avoid Hillary? At least Hillary wouldn't be wrestling in the Oval Office. Or nuking Belgium because they bothered her.
