Donald Trump

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Oh dear, another staffer with a tell-all book. I’m gonna take a wild stab and guess there will be more.

You’d think those posters who told us we had “TDS” or whatever would have the decency to come back and apologize. But I guess when you look as fucking stupid as they do now it’s probably hard to screw up the courage.

But as you are fully aware... it really doesn't matter. Unless The Donald is caught live on video actually killing some innocent in broad daylight - it's all water off a duck's back.

Maybe Trump lands in jail for one or more of his crimes - but failing that - or failing some sort of health issue - The Donald is going to be the next Republican candidate for President - and there's every possibility - if not likelihood - that he'll win... I'm not religious and don't believe in God... but nonetheless... God help us all.

He might be the nominee. I don’t think he will win. That’s a LOT of people whose minds need to change.

I very much hope that you're correct.

From my perspective Trump has a locked in electorate that won't change their vote no matter what.

Then, there's swing votes who may be upset with Biden.

Finally, there's the numerous "election reform" measures that have passed - ostensibly damaging Democratic candidates, although, perhaps such obvious heavy-handed tactics might have the effect of inspiring Democrats for a huge Blue turnout.

Anyhow... I think that a Trump candidacy has a very good chance of winning. 50-50 for me.

Against that... maybe 1-in-3 that Trump is convicted of wrongdoing and/or suffers some physical/mental ailment rendering him ineligible to run for President. But should that occur, some Trump wanna-be will fill his shoes.

In other words - in spite of all the Trump revelations - I think that a fascist, anti-Democracy demagogue has a (hopefully worst case) 50-50 or maybe (optimistically) a 40-60 chance of winning the Presidency in the next US presidential election... it's frighteningly close.

A wildcard in favor of Democracy - Trump's attack on election integrity - with any luck he'll convince enough Republican voters that the vote is rigged and that their vote therefore doesn't matter - to advantage Democratic candidates.

Is that when he was hawking 'Trump steaks'?

Nah - she reported that he was challenged by a group to go vegan for a month - if he did they would raise a million dollars for veterans charities. He declined and later said that eating a vegan diet kills off your brain cells and if he lost even one cell they were fucked. I presume thats coz he only has the one?

to be fair, you have to be damaged in some way to end up vegan.

I was going to say the same thing! Pre-existing condition.

Folks can do what they like but I don’t think I could ever.
