My 92-year-old Republican mother says, "He's a creep."

[MineralMan]

That's what she says. She also says, "I'm going to vote for Hillary."

And there it is. The "Creep Effect" is going to play in our favor in 2016. It's going to play to win. There is no way for Der Drumpfenführer™ to be anything but creepy. He cannot help himself, because he is, fundamentally, a creep.

My mother, old as she is, has always been an very astute judge of character. She won't be alone in switching her vote, due to the Republican candidate's sheer creepiness.

We're going to win this election. My mother says so.

1. Go, MineralGram!

2. My wife's 88 yr old aunt's e-mail.

I would have called you but it is 12:30 your
time and I expect your both in bed. I went out and watered and got the car in the garage and I listened to the Republican Convention, I wanted to hear Trumps speech, he really makes
sense and how in the hell he is going to get everything done is going to surprise me if he does.
I'm in favor of a Wall between us and Mexico, the only thing they dig tunnels and hopefully he
has a solution for that. And send the illegal immigrants back to Mexico where they belong. I
also am in favor of bring our companies back that are overseas and in Mexico. The reason our
businesses are leaving is because they don't have to pay high taxes and can get labor so cheap.

3. I don't know your wife's aunt, so I can't vouch

for her. I do know my mother, though.

[DawgHouse]

10. Bless her heart.

[ToxMarz]

12. I love the notion of bringing our companies back

That would actually entail some sort of Comunism, otherwise they aren't "our" companies.

[n2doc]

18. Pretty shallow thinking, unfortunately

"Labor so cheap" Wonder who she things are going to take those cheap labor jobs (Vietnam is averaging $150/month, that's what we are competing against for Trump shirt manufacturing) in the USA. Especially with a Wall. I guess it is just supposed to magically happen.

4. I've yet to hear anyone of regard make a credible case for him winning.

[MineralMan]

5. Nor have I. Even leaders in the Republican Party

are speaking out against his candidacy and resigning from their leadership positions. That alone spells doom for the Trump campaign. The more he speaks, the worse his chances will be.

6. I have a feeling Kasich is going to work behind the scenes to ensure he loses in Ohio.

[MineralMan]

7. I hope so. Clearly, he cannot support Trump, and

has said so.

[kstewart33]

11. Kasich earned major character points for what he did.

The Ohio Repub party has been working with Trump's people on GOTV efforts in Ohio. After Manafort's comment that Kasich "embarrassing his party in Ohio," those efforts are on hold.

[redstateblues]

8. He's got his eye on 2020

[Pantagruelsmember]

19. Kasich's Ohio

Ohioans should be aware a vote for Trump will be a vote against Ohio if Trump's animosity to Kasich is permitted to be manifested.Trump in power won't be good for Ohio.

9. it is hard to see

it would require a massive shift away from Hillary in certain demographics (millennials, older voters, women) that one would expect at this point to mostly favor her, it would require severe letdowns in demos that definitively favor her (Hispanics and AAs and single women), and it would require a massive outpouring of white voters, a "silent majority" if you will.

All at the same time.

[Cosmocat]

13. This country is dumb as shit

Which is why its a race.

Now, if nothing serious happens, good chance Hillary wins.

But, the stupid is strong enough that it will keep the lunatic within reach that if something significant happens with security or the economy, the right will have a shot a bullying him in.

[The Second Stone]

14. We need to get off our asses, register likely Democrats and

get them to turn out and vote. Anything less is a betrayal of our political principles. We can win this election. Let's do it.

[MineralMan]

16. Precisely...

[Hekate]

15. Right on, MinMan's Mom!

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. This is great news!

Seniors always bring the win!

Tell your lovely mother thank you!
