So, Trump, the "laughingstock," is on his way here to Europe. Here's my take on what is going on:

90. The crazies do have their constant vein drip of hate

But only a third of the country takes them seriously enough to let Fox or National Hate Radio be their sole media source. Actually, if Trump hangs on for a few more months and doesn't change, a LOT of his voters to whom he promised the land of milk and honey will figure out he was no more being serious with them than he was when he promised that piano dealer he would pay him for the pianos he delivered and instead stiffed the poor guy and nearly bankrupted him.

It's easy to hire a lawyer to tell a contractor to accept 25 on the dollar or face legal fees and a two year lawsuit. It's another thing to tell 20 million voters who got nothing at all that that's all they are going to get, or ever were going to get. No Democrat needs to even say "I told you so." They'll know it.

My wife, the even-tempered, justice-loving, benevolent social worker, is so disgusted, she wishes (VERY uncharacteristically for her) that hundreds of thousands of Trump voters who were convinced he would bring them jobs, prosperity and health care coverage--and will get none of the above--find themselves without jobs or the means to pay for medical care when they need it. What she DOES understand is that these people will refuse to accept that they were wrong until their circumstances get so dire, they have no choice but to beg the other side for help when it becomes evident that Trump and the Republicans never intended to offer them any. She also knows (as do we all), that the second these people are rescued from their dire situations by Democratic initiatives, over half of them will go right back to voting Republican.
