By Nov. this guy will be having torchlight marches and lynchings if he thinks it will get him elected. The GOP will bend a knee, because at heart it's now an authoritarian party and Trump knows it. A deep seated hatred of democracy and ugly racism & xenophobia has been planted in it. We can thank Fox and RW Talk radio for this and the general decline of thinking & science among 50% of the public. The Fundie Churches are also part of this toxic mix.
Cannot argue with that Glenn. Last night on Bill Maher, the discussion was on Trump, of course. Jeremy Scahill was the guest at the table and he talked about the rise of Fascism in America with Trump at its helm. I think that is the short answer, it's the perfect storm - authoritarian ruler, corporate control, ignorant electorate, fundamental literal right wing religion, the power of the pulpit as the media is intoxicated with Trump's advertising draw, plenty of scapegoats to go around - the brown skins - Latins, Blacks, Muslims, and the military might both external i.e. the armed forces, and internal - DHS, NSA, FBI, and people like Joe Arpaio all supplied by the NRA.
It's not a pretty picture, especially with democracy unraveling from the Supreme Court on down. Trump could very well win in Nov. since he's no Romney and makes it up as he goes along. HRC will be mistaken to think she's up against a respectful kind of guy like Bernie has been. Trump is a shit kicker and is already going for her throat.
