Looks like this election is going to descend depths never seen in the modern era. Looks like a brass knuckles slugfest brining up all the lies, hate and vomit possible. There will be no discussion of issues. It be deep personal attacks on old debunked scandals and new phony conspiracy theories. It will be a campaign to paint Hillary and Democrats as the devil himself.
Should Hillary win the hatred will continue and division will continue worse than ever. Trump will fracture this country from coast to coast in the process. The new direction is about leaving a scorched earth aftermath.
Addendum - The debates will be more like a shit throwing contest like the primaries were. I am afraid they will turn into a shocking spectacle that will embarrass us on the world stage. And the campaign will set a historical low for the nation and possible damage the political process for years.

His 15 minutes of ignorance and stupidity in the news is nearly up. He's only late night TV joke fodder now.
We're kind of entertained watching the massive train wreck of his campaign and wondering or laughing at whatever wacky thing he'll say or do next.
His followers will latch onto the next David Duke or whoever and leave the Donald in their dust.
Could some of his followers grab some guns and shoot some place up? Sure. But as awful as that would be, that's a small fringe group. Not a major number of folks in the country.

(10,602 posts)I expect the attacks on Hillary will become more personal and even more vicious in some way yet to be determined. And there will be new lies and fabrications with no basis. They know that they can say anything up front and it will not be challenged by the media. The Hillary campaign will have to be prepared to counter attack.
