(3,251 posts)I predict Trump will lose either like Barry Goldwater or Alf Landon.
In truth, he should not carry a single state.

(55,942 posts)The notion that a candidate so UNBELIEVABLY unqualified for the presidency could get 212 electoral votes in our country is not only appalling, it sends a signal to the rest of the world that we are a nation, holding enormous reserves of wealth and destructive might, where 40% of our citizens would have been willing to send a boorish, ignorant oaf to the Oval Office.
Although a tally of 326 electoral votes is obviously enough to send Trumppence packing, it is nowhere near enough to reassure the rest of the world that sane people are overwhelmingly dominant in our country.

(55,942 posts)I'm in a different country practically every day for work, and since Palin (or, actually, Dan Quayle), I'm sick and tired of Republicans forcing candidates on us that not only make us look like infantile mental midgets, but scare the living shit out of the rest of the world that we could some day actually vote in such a person as our president. They know full well that we choose our candidates through the primary system. Therefore, both our candidates win their candidacies by popular demand. What kind of country are we where such people as Palin, Trump and Pence enjoy popular demand on that scale? It's an apology I'm sick and tired of making.
Yes, Hillary will win, but it is still some kind of scary to know that over 50 million adult American voters will be sorry to hear that Trump did not.
