Wake up Demmies.
UPDATE: I wrote this in March. Never have I been so sad to be so right.
The GOP is not "imploding". Repeat. THE GOP IS NOT IMPLODING. Despite itself, it is merely expanding its base. Remember, the problem for them was figuring out how to keep their racist base appeased while expanding their appeal to others. Marco Rubio, among others, failed miserably at this. Well, here comes Donald Trump to save the day! The Donald titillates with racial raw meat while expanding from that base. How? By appealing to the voters legitimate economic concerns. The very same concerns that Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have spent decades ignoring.
Trump will slam Hillary on free trade agreements. Hillary has supported every single one of these job killing monstrosities. Said they would be create jobs. Said we all benefit from cheap Chinese crap from Wal-Mart (where Hillary once served on its board of directors). Nobody believes this BS anymore. Except Washington insiders. Well. there goes Obama, negotiating yet another one. In secret. Hillary now says she opposes TPP. Yeah, surre.
Trump will slam Hillary on Wall Street. She has taken tens of millions in speaking fees from them directly. She has taken over $140 MILLION in speaking fees directly from special interests! Did it ever occur to Bill and Hillary to ease up on the piggishness? Well, expect the Donald to have much fun with this. Stand up to Wall Street? Yeah, sure, Hillary.
Trump will slam Hillary on Social Security. Trump understands that people are scared and has decided to exploit their fears by claiming he will protect Social Security. Meanwhile, it is an article of faith among establishment Democrats that SS must be cut, usually in some Grand Bargain with the GOP. Nothing like Useless Democrats pissing on the Third Rail of politics.
Trump will slam from all sides on matters of war. On one hand, he will do the standard right wing riff of talking tough and "making America Great Again". On the other hand, Hillary has supported EVERY foolish military engagement we get into that manages to be stupid, bloody, pointless. expensive. and unending. Imagine being vulnerable to being called weak and a warmonger at the same time. A neat trick, unless you're Hillary Clinton.
Establishment Democrats will spend the fall of 2016 waiting for Trump to collapse, Just like Establishment Republicans spent the fall of 2015 waiting for Trump to collapse. The GOP will stop imploding and will fall in like with the Donald to save their skins. A demoralized base, having watched Bernie Sanders get mau-maued and "superdelegated" to death shows no signs of turning out. The black vote, having helped bury Sanders despite a sterling civil rights record, might not come out like they did not turn out in 2010 or 2014.
I hate Donald Trump. I do not believe his populist rhetoric. I am appalled how totally unprepared the Democratic Party is to deal with him.
President Donald Trump.
Thank you Useless Democrats.
Have another slice of brie.
