I'd like to believe that but am not sure if that's not just wishful thinking. Millions of women are avid Trump followers. All those Tea Party deplorables, Evangelicals, racists, islamophobists from both genders appear to be not a minority any more.

Except that Trump did not even receive a majority of the total votes case in the primaries nor is he anywhere close to getting 50.1% or more of the vote in the general election. So yeah as the poster said he does not represent the MAJORITY.
 
Ouch:



Double ouch:



Make it stop:


Vote Hilary

"Itll be bad, but It could be worse"

What a pathetic election this is

If there was some way to re-start it all and get 2 proper candidates surely it would be for the best in the long run
 
Can never really say for certain, just that it's highly likely.

Barring Hillary collapsing in the next debate (or shooting someone on 5th avenue), I think it's pretty much over.

Would be great!

I always wondered how the normal people felt before 1933, knowing that if the NSDAP gain some power its over. Really over. Now i can guess somekind how it was these days.
 
Another serious question: What are the Americans thinking, especially the supporters of the GOP, about Trumps sympathie for Putin and his views about Russia and the Nato?
Always thought this must cause a clear cut between "iam always vote GOP" voters and the their actual candidate called Trump. But that doesnt seem to be the case?

It's a fair step down from Obama v Romney/McCain just a few years ago.

Still, these are the candidates people voted for, so people are the real problem.

I KNOW BUT THAT'S NOT THE GIST OF MY POST.

Trump is going to lose by a landslide.

The fact is that the majority of the American people just don’t share the values of these white, ill-educated, machismo-fantasist, racist and misogynist men … and never will. Maybe this time Republicans’ will have the guts to stand up to their lunatic fringe and kick them into the dustbin of history.

If they don’t, the Party’s over.

There is certainly a lunatic fringe of Trump diehards who are firmly in the minority.

However, when you speak of people who are "focused on a narrow band of issues that mainly boil down to guns and control of women", I think you're broadening out beyond the narrow Trumpian fringe. People with those views on guns and abortion make up a significant portion of the electorate.

Don't these people have access to psychiatrist appointments and medication? Christ on a bike, this is so bad I'm ROFL.

Wouldn't expect anything less from Alex Jones, America's leading nutcase/conspiracy theorist.

Wow, I'm of the opinion Clinton is a pure evil cnut but that's way out there even for me.

A significant portion yes, but still a (shrinking) minority of the overall population. And the Republican Party has allowed the Christian Right, NRA fanatics, Tea Party extremists and a motley ragbag of white supremacists (closet or otherwise), conspiracy freaks, misogynists and homophobes to slowly make more and more inroads into its organisation.

The result is Donald Trump: the most unelectable, most unfit-for-President candidate in many, many decades, perhaps ever. This swaggering blow-hard, the puffed-up con artist, the narcissist, the crude, mean-minded man of small wit and large insult … the man who actually brags about his ability to sexually molest women and get away with it.

He'll get crushed in the election, but will encourage his supporters to cry foul, with claims of ballot rigging and god knows what else, regardless of the landslide loss. I actually think that Trump and his hard core of supporters are not far from becoming a watered-down form of National Socialism - i.e. believing that democracy and the established forms of government needs to be swept away and replaced by 'strong man' rule.

The Republican Party will be left in tatters, embroiled in civil war. And it won't recover until it reaches out to 'middle America' and ditches those I've cited, whose votes they don't need to pander to anyhow, since those votes have got nowhere else to go except the box marked ‘abstain’ … and most of these people are too driven to go there.
