Without my wings
I feel so small
Guess I need you baby...

A little bit back there was an infographic on if supporters of a candidate will fall in line with the eventual nominee. Can anyone repost this or link it? Hugs n kisses xoxo

I assume this is a no true Scotsman argument about Trump? Even then...

What are the odds that a year from now (assuming he isn't president), Trump laughs off his whole campaign and insists that it was all bullshit, he didn't believe most of it, and he was literally saying only what he thought he needed to get elected?

If Clinton wins then we'll have four years of gridlock, so I'm going to vote for the short fingered orange man because going backward is better than standing still.

I've seriously been 50-50 on this for about six months now, though it definitely comes in ebbs and flows of depression and telling myself it's all a joke/dream

This is what the electorate really believes.

*woof*

If Drumpf gets the nomination there is zero chance he doesn't dedicate the rest of his life to "proving" that the general election was stolen from him by a conspiracy of institutionalists. There is also a non-zero chance that the general will be stolen from him by a blessed conspiracy of institutionalists.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/01/how-breitbart-unleashes-hate-mobs-to-threaten-dox-and-troll-trump-critics.html

I give you modern American discourse.

quote:

Conservative essayist Bethany S. Mandel, who has been awash in a deluge of social media abuse since she began denouncing Donald Trump, finally purchased a handgun over the weekend.

�It�s a .22 magnum revolver,� says Mandel, the mother of two young children, who applied for a firearms permit at her local suburban police department after absorbing a fusillade of vile, anti-Semitic tweets and Facebook messages in recent months.

�I�m picking it up,� Mandel says about her firearm, �after the shop�s background check comes back.�

Having practiced at a New Jersey firing range, she prefers a revolver to a pistol because �my aim is far better,� she says.

�My husband [New York Post Op-Ed page editor Seth Mandel] isn�t happy about it,� she says about her new acquisition.

The 29-year-old Mandel, who writes for The Federalist, a conservative/libertarian web site that often inveighs against Trump, is a pugnacious online presence who frequently crosses swords with self-avowed acolytes of the Republican presidential frontrunner.

She has especially tangled with Breitbart News, the rabble-rousing, Trump-friendly Web site�named for its late founder, culture warrior Andrew Breitbart�that regularly savages the GOP establishment, the media elite, the Washington consultant class, and the Fox News Channel, which it likes to portray as the willing enabler of all these sinister forces.

�When I went to my local police department and applied for the gun permit, they said, �Maybe you should stop writing things that make people angry,�� Mandel recounts. �And I said, �OK, I�ll give that some consideration.�

�You have kids. Why would you do that?�

�Because I want to leave them a world that is worth living in.��

Yet one can hardly fault Mandel�s feelings of vulnerability. Typical online insults (screenshots of which she provided to The Daily Beast) included �you deserve the oven,� complete with the image of a Domino�s Pizza oven�this from an apparent Trump fan who goes by the Twitter handle @dinguscout.

After Mandel observed: �Another night blocking all the anti-Semites who are helping Trump make American[sic] great again,� a second apparent Trump supporter, @unusr1, tweeted at her: �Missed one, you slimy Jewess.�

Got treated to an earful about our national deficit this weekend from another very smart family member who doesn't understand economics.

The two best parts of that are the cops telling her to stop provoking racists if she wants to be safe and that she thinks writing for a libertarian website is going to result in a better future for kids.

It's funny when these types of people suddenly get to see a little slice of what everyone else is complaining about.

letter from upper class people to FT explaining why they back Trump

You know who else was a right wing populist demagogue who was elevated by the elites because he was seen as a more controllable and less offensive member of his party?

George W. Bush?
