Sober up. Trump will never be elected president (short rant)
There are millions of American know-nothings, bigots, haters, sexists, and just plain fools living among us. But I don't believe there are enough of them to put Donald Trump in the White House.
(However, if the numbers are close enough, they can steal the election. “Can’t be done,” you say. My answer to that is check out the SCOTUS theft in the year 2000, and the Ohio theft in 2004. We had George W., who was never elected, sitting in the White House for eight years, acting as Dick Cheney’s front man.)
But to get back to Trump. I don’t think he and his minions have key people, in the right positions, in critical states, to steal it. Which means the chances of Trump becoming president are virtually nil.
The only reason that anyone thinks a Trump presidency is possible is because of media hype. There’s a rule in the media. “If it bleeds, it leads.” What that means is that, mass shootings or any shootings, beheadings, plane crashes, shark or tiger attacks, and anything with blood involved will always be the first story printed, televised, talked about, and presented in all media outlets, in any way possible.
If there’s no blood on a given day, Trump is the media fallback. He can cut a fart and pundits will talk about it non-stop throughout the entire news cycle. (They’ll even have “experts” on the mechanics of farting.)
But here’s the thing. Each and every one of us has to show up and vote. And that means every Democrat and unaffiliated voter. If that happens, Trump will lose in a tsunami. And I truly believe that it’s the very existence of Trump himself, and every word that comes out of his mouth, that will make that tsunam possible.
