I haven't been this anxious about an election ever. Trump's rise makes me literally feel sick.

It's such a weird and awful feeling.

I don't know what the future holds in a hypothetical (and still very unlikely) Trump presidency. I'm worried about my Muslim friends. I actually worry for their safety.

It's going to be built up as this total armageddon slugfest, but it's going to be a boring but annoying affair with Hillary getting asked hard questions and Trump delivering vague word salads to easier questions and calling Hillary a lying flip-flopper without any restraint or callouts from Holt.

The expectations for Trump are not just low, they are in an entirely different universe. It's prettymuch why he has been as politically successful as he has been; all the poo poo that normally sinks a politician doesn't work because he isn't being graded as one.

Yup. Holt will be useless, I am sure of it.

And take literally any single Trump gaffe or facet of Trump's biography and apply it to Obama. Imagine if Obama said McCain wasn't a hero? What if Obama called all Mexicans rapists? Or said Putin did a better job than Bush? And imagine if Obama used charity money to buy two portraits of himself, or had five kids with three women? Any of those things would have resulted in the loving Democrats, themselves, ousting him from office and killing his political career.

He's like Tonks from Harry Potter or Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine, except hideous, Republican, and not at all like them.

I think it's particularly dangerous for Clinton because the candidate that seems less presidential going in usually benefits. Also Trump's ca,p has been skillfully playing the low expectation game in the past couple of weeks.

Do we all remember Trump's last Republican primary debate? The one where we all expected serious poo poo to go down, and then nothing happened? He's going to make it like that again. He will word salad his way out of tough questions, and the audience at home won't care.

well then good news, he wont be able to word salad his way out of a 90 minute, commercial free debate. he'll be expected to give actual answers (he wont though), and if he just gives short 10 second answers or whatever, hillary will steamroll him.

he'll be expected to talk for around 45 minutes total.
