To me, this 9-second YouTube clip captures the logic of the Trump campaign

Really sums it all up nicely, IMHO.

The Trump nightmare is real. Clinton could lose this.

In May of 1988 Gov. Michael Dukakis had a 10-point lead over his Republican rival, the same margin that Hillary Clinton has today.

He lost. And she could, too.

Don't comfort yourself too much by looking at the horse race polls. Those are about Donald Trump's weakness, not Clinton's strength. A fresh Washington Post poll shows that only 37 percent of American voters trust her, and the number is dropping -- even before her well-fed opponents have begun to pound the airwaves with slimy attacks adds on her.

And let's face it: It is not beyond the imagination to think that a fresh scandal could emerge.

What Republicans believe

The central organizing principles of the modern Republican Party seem to come down to three things:

1) Rip affordable health care away from 17 million people by repealing Obamacare. Then, replace it with something more profitable for insurance companies that insures fewer people.

2) Burn as much coal as possible. Because increased rates of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, coronary heart failure and cancer are a small price to pay if the coal industry can make more money. Oh, and because climate change is a big conspiracy created by communist scientists - or something.

3) Foreigners are bad. We need to keep them out of the country -- especially the scary, scary Muslims and brown people with funny accents.
