This is how brilliant and simple this election has gotten

The Republican convention was dark and foreboding. Trump gave a disjointed speech. Their argument against Hillary was hatred and fear.

The Democrats presented an optimistic and uplifting convention and Hillary gave a speech which highlighted her knowledge and competence. The argument against Trump was that he was "bat shit crazy".

Following the Democratic convention, Donald Trump fed the narrative every single day that he's fucking nuts, and every voter knows it.

The election, from this point on, will be fought on the serious political ground of Donald's sanity. Nice terrain.

Heart versus greed.
Sane versus crazy.
Capable versus unfit.
Steady versus random.
Authentic versus phony.
I could do this all day !!
The differences are important and real.

so very easy. Most people only knew him by his heavily scripted and edited Apprentice show. Now people are seeing he is very unhinged and vindictive. He can't let any perceived slight go. Has no clue that friendships with other countries are necessary for a variety of reasons, yet he can't stop insulting them and praising dictators.

He is a typical republican without the pretty words to complete the package.
