a somewhat reasonable post. if trump could tone down the vindictive rhetoric, but still
do popular things like poke
fun of the media ( who absolutely deserve some
mockery), and grow the economy, he’d win 40 states with this economy. But he cant.

Your side is banking on Trump screwing up, but it’s wrong when we count on our opposition to screw up. If your side could run a candidate who wasn’t an impossible-to-like socialist freak, you might win 40 states against a jerk like Trump.

When you look at the choices, Trump and the crop of democrats, the lack of a principled leader all around, is stunning and depressing.
