Related: About this forumI know millions of repubs that were going to vote HRC before this latest FBI kerfuffle...
now they are going to vote for Trump! None of them know about the decades of venom directing at the Clintons by the right. Or maybe this was the last straw! Millions....personally.

(30,058 posts)about any matter will never qualify Trump to be president, I would hope those voting for Trump could see Trump for the fraud he is and not running game on their hate for Hillary. Their hate does not make Trump qualified, he is not good.

The way I look at it, if people are really so stupid that an insinuation about e-mails that may havery nothing to do with Hillary Clinton at all could cause them to instead vote for an orange skinned, yellow haired misogynistic racist. with no experience, no plans and a hair trigger temper and comically thin skin...well, then this country needs to break up and restart anew.
The election of Trump would signal a terminal disease in the body politic of the USA, one that must be eradicated.

(10,857 posts)The smart half of America knows fascism when they see it. The dumb half is fascism's audience. Fascism wins when indifference overwhelms voters and they no longer care. That's how the Nazis got in.
But Trump isn't a Nazi, not exactly. He's too stupid to understand any political dogma, and he screwed up the Nazi scheme of exhausting the electorate by personally antagonizing pretty much everyone smart enough to notice. What he is is a hateful, elitist, bigoted racist misogynist isolationist--six terms Trump doesn't understand or care about.
The people who do understand those things are far over fifty percent of the voters who have been personally attacked and offended by Trump. Yeah, he's doing great where overfed, poorly educated white people interact only with themselves, but that America was ransacked and looted in the Bush years and they're never coming back to political prominence.
So it's over. It's completely fucking over, for Trump and, within six or so years, the Republican Party. They're never going to be able to gerrymander the House like they have again. They already have extreme difficulty winning statewide elections, and they're never going to win a national election again.
All you got to do is take your ballot to the all-D bucket, and slam it.
