Scary article makes Trump look like

a horrifying possibility.

"Don't laugh. Donald Trump could actually win this thing. Not just the Republican nomination -- the presidency.

It would be very nice if a brand of politics built on fear, intimidation, racism and sheer meanness could not succeed in 21st-century America. Most political pundits have spent the past year wishing it to be so, refusing to contemplate the horror of a Trump presidency. And the business mogul may very well end up getting trounced in the general election if he does secure the GOP nomination."

Ok, then bring it. Let's just burn this fucker to the ground. Maybe then, dismally, finally then, we can take this country back from the mouth breathers and racists who've been propping up the right wing in this country. Surely after the fuck pit of a firestorm a Trump presidency would bring people would wake up. Right? Literally what will it take to get the flag pin wearing, gun toting, #freeDUMB loving #muricans to wake the fuck up already.

This primary is for not only the Democratic party's future

but Americas future. If we continue to go along with the completely unacceptable, and incredibly destructive, move to the right by our party, then we deserve what we get.

No we don't need another corporatist shill waltzing into the whitehouse with Wall Street in tow. Exactly how many times do we need to fall for the same old shell game?

Yes, it's scary. If Hillary wins and we don't vote for her, someone like Trump could gain the Whitehouse. But if we continue to capitulate to that fear we'll never have a true alternative to the current corporate death grip on our country's media and political structure.

At some point enough will have to be enough. For me that point is now.
