It may seem impossible for any of the GOP fools to win. Yet I am concerned because I meet so many fucking stupid people. Whoever gets the nomination will still get a lot of votes. And with the money, corrupt media, voter suppression, manipulation and even threats of violence in some places anything can happen.
We have had two elections where Dems have won. Yet they lost because of lost or stolen or uncounted votes. The nation is so closely divided. And the GOP mantra that Dems or Hillary will give you money to brown people or the lazy works. And we know what words are used to describe blacks, hispanics et al.
No matter how nuts the GOP candidate is the media will do all it can to disadvantage the Democratic candidate. And every day the media comes up with new ways to help the GOP. And we cannot do anything about it.
I am still hopeful but I worry that the voters or the ones who are allowed to vote will make the wrong decision. The GOP is counting on voters getting more desperate with all of their obstructionism.

(149,681 posts)We need a candidate who would fire up the voters, who would make them want to get to the polls, to vote!
We need a clear message much the way that Senator Bernie Sanders is getting his out. He gets folks fired up and then they understand what the stakes are.
I am not saying (for now) that our candidate has to be Sanders. What I am saying is that the way he's speaking to the American people is the way to campaign. Martin O'Malley is doing the same sort of campaigning.
Plain spoken, telling the truth, reminding the voters what the stakes are........those are some of the elements that can win the election.
