About the "Con Artist "

...If the con artist comes to your house one time, with a con, and you don't know who he is, maybe he will "con" you. Let's say after the first con, he comes back again. And you know now he was/is a "con artist." So, you shut the door on him or call the police. Is that correct?
..Trump is coming back to the door over and over again. He has a belief that he can pull the "con" again. Perhaps he has been told, or deep down believes he can win again. But he is too stupid to know, that once conned by a certain "person", that it is all over for that person.
...Yes, there is a certain amount of resentment from being conned that does not go away. Most of us would never forget that con artist. Also, 25% might be stupid enough to be conned again, but we will be told by friends and family how stupid we are if we are part of that 25%. If Trump thinks he can "win again" then the main person he is conning is himself. He doesn't know it, mainly because he really is too stupid to know it.

every bit of ratfuckery they can come up with. So it's important we do this election right and bury them

2. I agree, and that is going to happen. Trump has come to the door too many times.

Trump has lied over and over again about anything and everything. He stands at the door and sounds stupid.
And Trump has already stood at the door far too many times, and he hasn't got a clue. Come November, most, yes most will shut the door very strongly on Mr. Con Artists. And Trumpy doesn't have a clue.

more like ecstatic. They held his hand every step along the way, and there are some states that love to keep Republicans in power. Trump is a disaster, but for the Republican Party, he's manna from heaven.

5. I do not think so. As we get closer to November, members of the "party" will jump the ship.

..More members will oppose their "leader" for one reason only. Trump is a "sure looser." Total negative. In my opinion, that is it, and that is all. The closer we get to election day, the stronger the "sure looser" tag will become. Trump dislikes the "sure looser" tag more than anything. I know it seems very strange to say this now, but I wouldn't be that surprised if in a month or two, Trump decides not to run for reelection.
..Of course that seems "impossible" but lots of impossible things have happened in "politics." The old expression, "Anything can happen in politics." is just as true now, as it was 10 years ago.

my anger/hatred is for those who helped the con, con, and continue to do their dirty deeds, day in and day out. Trump is such an ass, and what the Republicans are doing is very systematic, and calculating to get the most out of their opportunity...but..you're right. Anything can happen. Hope is there...just not for me today.
