Electing Trump, Unthinkably

SURELY, AT SOME POINT, the American people will come to their senses, although with the American people, one never knows. If and when they do, it may be too late. The republicans started out with a large number of impressive presidential candidates, oh so very long ago, people like Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, et al. So, what happened? Little Marco and lyin' Ted don't seem so bad right about now, do they? I hopped on the Trump bandwagon early, because and only because I thought Trump would mess up the republicans by fragmenting them, and hand the election to the democrats. I never thought Trump actually had a chance, and neither did anybody else. Very few actual republicans liked Trump from the outset, and those who are supporting him now are holding their noses, trying pathetically to justify Trump's totally unjustifiable views, comments, and general craziness, and supporting him only because of their extreme hatred of Hillary. Give the right wingers credit: when they hate, they hate for real, and when they hate you, you stay hated. Perhaps we should all have been a bit more careful what we wished for. It has recently occurred to me that the American people are indeed crazy enough to elect Donald J. Trump president, which is beyond frightening. Only because of Hillary Clinton's extreme unpopularity, largely the product of a twenty five year smear campaign in the mainstream conservative media by what Hillary calls a "vast right wing conspiracy", does Trump actually have a chance to win. The term "conspiracy" may be a bit too much credit to give America's right wing; after all, a conspiracy requires a certain degree of intelligence and cooperation. The leaders of the right wing menace, people like Carl Rove and Roger Ailes, have lured the entire conservative movement to the Hillary feeding frenzy, with outrageous lies and accusations, as is their style. They've turned her into a criminal, without a single indictment or conviction. An utterly amazing feat of deception. But it may soon have tragic consequences for America, and for the world, because if Donald J. Trump is indeed elected, even the fools who supported him will wish they had been more careful what they wished for.........PLEASE SHARE THIS FREE EXPRESSION WEBSITE WITH OTHERS. THANKS!
