re: #27 Shiplord Kirel

All our predictions of Trump’s imminent collapse have come to naught. It really seems that he is headed for the nomination, partly because of the weakness of his opposition, but mostly because he has tapped into something deep and ugly in American society: the prejudice, arrogance, and prideful ignorance that have always pervaded American culture.

While this is all true, I don’t think Trump would have an electoral pot to piss in if he weren’t bursting onto the scene just as everyone starts to begrudgingly realize that all of those decent-paying semiskilled blue collar jobs are never, ever coming back.

You need the fear to go along with the anger.
