Trump fans do. They think their guy will trounce her, and that’s a significant part of the reason many of them have been voting for him. I see that as a delusion unsupported by any evidence whatsoever

Some of them are Democrats and voted for Hussein. To assume that they have the capability for reason is… too optimistic.

Neo:
“I don’t see much wiggle room there.”

Activists create wiggle room, but like the rest of the game, that’s a competitive enterprise.

parker: “by one vote”. that’s how you were supposed to know I was kidding you. everybody will vote for who they want, or not vote, regardless of my opinion. I actually don’t give a damn anymore; I just grieve for my country.

Ok KLS,

What if we get a ‘progressive’ hrc versus ‘progressive’ djt contest, djt will not lose Iowa by one vote. He might win AL, MS, and perhaps ND, TX, or WY; but what else does he win, Alaska or Idaho? Allow me to spell it out: landslide.

I have to chuckle, as I do believe I paired these two as a dream ticket many months ago.

Nick:

I always retained a healthy skepticism about the GOP as an institution and see most human beings as vulnerable to demagoguery and distortions, as well as appeals to emotion. But even though I didn’t think I was naive about the right, I think I was somewhat underestimating the extent of the right’s vulnerability.

It’s got to be surreal. This is like a Twilight Zone episode. Neo finds out that her side of the aisle is horribly wrong, then struggles to cross over, and the twist ending is finding the Republican Party falling into the same selfish identity politics.
