Donald Trump is not ten feet tall

A plurality or majority of voters

-Will not vote for a man who wants to start a trade war with China, Japan, and Mexico. Simple math suggests there are a lot more people who like to buy their stuff, some of it quite cheap, than don't.

-Will not vote for a man who wants to deport all undocumented workers and their families. Most Americans don't know any undocumented workers any way. It is not as if undocumented workers publicize their status. Also, rounding up folks is evocative of another time and a bad one at that.

-Will not vote for a man who wants to build a forty foot wall on our southern border.

- Will note vote for a man who sees women as ersatz escorts and pole dancers.

- And most importantly will not vote for a man who incites violence and attracts chaos. Americans are temperamentally conservative, get along, people who rightly or wrongly try to paper over differences than exploit them. Simply put, if I am a middle class person with kids somewhere out in suburbia or exurbia Trump scares the shit out of me.


P.S. People Of Color recoil from the man. That's 30% of the electorate right there.
