What remains scary and baffling...

[kairos12]

is Drumpft has taken enough PR torpedo hits to sink any campaign, yet with no infrastructure, he remains afloat and within 10-12 points of HRC.

1. Combination of Hillary-hate and GOP brainwashing

A certain segment would vote for Trump if he drowned puppies on live TV.

2. Demographics and identity

There are giant segments of the American population that will not vote outside of their traditional party. Pretty much any candidate will get 40% of the vote.

3. Perhaps it's called Trumping The Shark

Trump just keeps doing more and more stupid shit
and doesn't get called out on it. We're going to find
out pretty soon if there is such a thing as a tipping point,
'cause when Donald finally does Trump the Shark, its
gonna be really messy.

4. The media is largely to blame for Trump still being in the game

Yes, they report on many of his gaffes but when something like this comes along that would really sink his campaign there is silence: https://www.tremr.com/bill-stevens/why-is-the-mainstream-media-ignoring-the-child-rape-allegations-against-donald-trump

5. You can run a convicted rapist and probably still get 35% of the vote

Seriously. This country's partisan loyalty factor is creepy.

6. The right has done such a fine job of slandering Hillary that many believe the bullshit

How many years have the republican spent bashing and attacking Hillary?

She has to be the most vetted candidate to ever walk on stage, all the investigations and still no charges. Propaganda works my friend.

12. "...all the investigations and still no charges."

You're correct, liberal N proud, that propaganda works. Hillary Clinton has been investigated more than any other candidate in our history. She has been vetted continuously for nearly 30 years. It's actually quite ridiculous. Only one of these things can be true:

- Hillary Clinton is guilty not only of all the things she's allegedly done but probably scores of more violations. She's so deceitfully smart, however, that she's evaded all attempts to prosecute her.

= OR =

- Hillary Clinton has done nothing wrong. Every investigation of her has come up empty.

But the general public hears our corporately-owned news report only the allegation or they create false equivalencies. With the constant repetitions and scandalous lack of media corrections, the public has developed a negative perception of Mrs. Clinton. Remember, she's never been charged, let alone convicted, for anything!

I believe she will once again overcome any obstacles, become our 45th president and be a worthy successor to President Obama.

8. The GOP should have abandoned him. The fact they haven't is telling.

They can't be bothered to care they could out a psychopath in charge of nukes that he desperately wants to use.

11. Although on the face some discredit him, but underneath, perhaps much of the GOP is the same as

Trump. It's very telling of the GOP's character that they still rally around Trump.

9. In short, the GOP of today is Joseph Goebbels!

10. When a raft of shit is hit by a log, it remains a raft of shit.

There's floaties and there's sinkies and the floaties float regardless.
