re: #126 Danack

This is what I still don’t understand.

Trump must realise that his chances in the general election are incredibly slim, right?

And that there’s a much better chance that he’ll be remembered as the Walter Mondale of the Republican party, with a massive historic loss.

So either he’s completely delusional, or just doesn’t care….unless his message of hate and violence resonates across a much wider set of voters than I hope it does.

I don’t think his chances are slim.

Republican voters will fall in line. Republican figures will endorse him in the end, and the voters will vote because they are motivated by hate. They will vote because they hate Hillary and liberals and brown people.

And worst of all, the polls will not show this leading up to the election. This is because there is a significant number of people who will not admit they will vote Trump out of social shame, but in the privacy of a voting booth will do exactly that.

Don’t get me wrong, I still think he won’t become President. But he will get well over 40% of the vote and the margin will be very narrow indeed. If he loses, it will be because more people turn out to vote against him, not because people won’t vote for him.
