Watching Trump Right Now on CNN and it's making me SICK

This man CANNOT, MUST NOT become President. He is sitting up there lying, he sounds like a used car salesman and people LOVE this piece of s---. I live in the South and see the enthusiasm and it scares the hell out of me. I am sincerely worried...

I can imagine them falling in line behind Cruz, however reluctantly, because he's genuinely evangelical. I think they know that if Trump were the face of the party, they would really be absolutely done.

It makes me ill too. And genuinely sad. Not so much because of what he says but because there are actual human beings who are lapping this crap up. What must it be like to be one of his supporters... to have a life so empty of meaning that listening to him is acceptable?

If he weren't a billionaire but just some guy at the bowling alley who wouldn't shut his dumb yam mouth about how awesome he is, nobody would even sit near him.

He does have that alpha male charisma thing...and he's rich...that's what his people like. They don't care that he's a lying scumbag that is truly dangerous on the world stage. It's our own fault...stupid America. I hope I'm just being pessimistic but I think Trump has a real shot at being POTUS.

Almost nobody ever seriously dreamed he'd get this far. From having to hire actors for his announcement that he was running, to Sieg Heil crowds now... it's terrifying.

He'll suffer an epic meltdown than will kill his candidacy.

Once the evidence is out there that he's actually worth much less than he pretends, he'll expend all his efforts defending/lying about that. His "brand" is his candidacy. Running for president has brought with it the concern that his brand will be exposed for the shell that it is.

I don't like that. Even as an avid Clinton supporter I don't like that at all. Please God don't let this man become President. Trump is not to be underestimated...or the fools that will come out to vote for this lying sleazy bully.

It's called a glutton for punishment. I also use to be a glutton for punishment, and yet I have learned that life is much more pleasant when we redirect that energy into something else.

I have my Bernie sticker up high on my back window of my F150 and the other day I had this person in a chevy pickup just trying so hard to get in front of me in traffic and it was to show me his tRump sticker on his back window. I know in my all knowing heart that was what all that jockeying he was doing behind me was all about LOL
