Looks like someone bought into that Dem talking point hook line and sinker.
Do you really think Trump will be the one trying to fix all of this himself? He's a buffoon. He'll be taking pictures in the oval office and playing rounds of golf while the people he puts in place take care of the heavy lifting.
Of the smartest comments I have heard, one reporter called the presidential election process in the United States , "a quadrennial Rorschach test of the American electorate."
This is so. It is never about who the candidates really are, but only who the electorate identifies them as being.
Some in America are ready for the same kind of dysfunction that they grew up with in their homes as children. That narrow, elitist, white is right rhetoric. And they want it delivered by someone they consider is really "tough."
However thankfully, that is not a majority representation of the whole psyche of the American electorate. Just that of a sizable, vocal minority.
And there have been times where that has been enough. But not these times.
There are a couple of differences. Values have publically shifted just a bit.
It was okay for people in the past to decry a candidate for their gender, or a person for their race or gender. Especially when you add fear.
But you see, times have changed. Now a Muslim, a Gold Star father, who's son won the Medal of Honor :

What is the Trump camp response? "
What has Hillary sacrificed?" Forty-five years in public service. Donald should have tried it for just one year!
But that wouldn't happen. You see maybe the biggest thing that has changed with the internet, and political access to the electorate is that Trump shows up as what he really is. Someone suffering a clear case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. So the people he would be a lock for are smallish people, people that wish they could be more like him, others with complementary illnesses, and so forth.
I cannot believe this would include enough of American to propel him into the Whitehouse. And I think the Democrats have a carefully crafted agenda; they will separate him from the traditional Republican values, because after all he did abandon them, and they have begun successfully, and will continue to limit him to what he is.
I don't think they let him squirm out of his small, sick personality, that he has thoughtfully bared to the public during the primary campaign, and doesn't seem to have any indication of abandoning as gears switch to the general election.
For those of you who find this post insulting, particularly the law and order, strong military crowd who want to elect Trump for the same reason they promoted George W. Bush, I cannot tell you as a veteran how appalled and sickened I was at all of Trumps comments about the Russians. My question isn't even why a schmuck like him would say what he did say, my question is why any truly patriotic American would put up with such an affront to us all. Fuck Putin, fuck Russia, and Fuck Donald Trump! Oh yeah, and fuck Michigan!
