Hooray! The republicans have a candidate who can't win.

It will be interesting to see who Trump nominates as his vp.  We are eight weeks away from the main event, and Hillary has a ten percent advantage now which should only grow.

I'm not so sure of your outcome.  She's politically smart, but not as a scrapper on camera the way Trump is.  And she is an establishment rerun.  Sanders' accusation that her judgement is bad is going to be one of Trump's most effective onslaughts.  

Her tour as Secretary of State was a disaster.  Look at what she accomplished in Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan!  Consider how she has continued the "let us kiss your royal asses" policy towards the Saudi monarchy -- when she knew they had financed 9-11 and they continue to sponsor Islamic fundamentalist terrorism.

She is sponsored by Wall Street and the financial industry, and will do absolutely nothing -- nada -- zip -- zero to correct the economic policies that have decimated our middle class.

Consider:  The Democratic National Committee (under Debbie Wasserman Shultz) sent mailed surveys to registered democrats, seeking their opinions about which listed issues were the most important facing the party and our government.  Among the more than a dozen issues presented in each survey, the issue of campaign finance reform was omitted.

Fuck the democratic party, Debbie Wasserman Shultz and the Hildabeest.

Like millions of American voters who can't stand Trump or Clinton, for the first time in more than 60 years as a voting adult, I'm seriously considering staying home for this one.

Donald Trump Set to Be GOP Nominee Despite Links to Organized Crime
Investigative journalist Tom Robbins discusses Trump’s history of close relationships with organized crime figures in the United States.

"...TOM ROBBINS: Yes, Roy Cohn is a figure in American history who is well known to people at least of our generation, probably not so much to the one that’s casting a lot of ballots now. But Roy Cohn was the sidekick and chief witch hunter for Senator Joseph McCarthy, a guy who reminds a lot of people of Ted Cruz. You know, they both look alike, and they talk alike. And after Roy—after Roy Cohn had left the Senate, he went into private practice, and he set himself up basically as the house counsel to a couple of the crime bosses in New York City—the Genovese crime family and the Gambino crime family. And at the same time, he adopted a young developer from Queens looking to make his first mark as a developer in Manhattan named Donald J. Trump. And Donald J. Trump will tell you, to this day, that he learned how to play politics and he learned how to play development from Roy Cohn, while he was sitting in Roy Cohn’s East Side townhouse next to "Fat Tony" Salerno and "Big Paul" Castellano..."

Trump’s Mobbed Up, McCarthyite Mentor Roy Cohn
Donald Trump’s brash and bullying style was learned at the heel of Roy Cohn, one of America’s most infamous lawyers.



"...Today, Trump’s campaign slogan is “Make America Great Again!” Which was Reagan’s slogan in 1980. Trump has claimed he invented the slogan and trademarked it in order to prevent other candidates from using it in speeches. “I mean, I get tremendous raves for that line,” Trump told The Daily Mail. “You would think they would come up with their own. That is my whole theme.”..."
