yeah, no doubt about it.

trump's candidacy is, hopefully, the death rattle of bigotry as a driving political force in this country. the demographic changes that will send the pendulum back to sanity can't get here fast enough.

Racism denial warrior. Jump in every thread with a race issue to prove racism doesn't exist. Try reading the OP again. Maybe you'll get a clue. The fact that Obama was voted in twice does absolutely nothing to disprove that having an African-American president has brought forth a tidal wave of lunatic racists. It most clearly and definitely has.

Hence, the premise is impossible? No doubt, you place great faith in your absolutism.

if President Obama's coalition votes for Hillary (and do not throw away their votes on a third party candidate), Hillary will win. I believe the polls are not reflecting the Obama coalition. In 2012, the close polls did not reflect the Obama coalition either.

This is the last gasp of a dying generation trying to claw their way back to power by any means necessary. They know that due to demographic shifts this is their last chance, and they're desperate. The future looks bright, but we have to get through this rough patch first.

we are so screwed. i think there is some of that and a whole lot more. for instance years and years of fox news and hate radio, and the dumbing down of america.

at the end of the day i am baffled. i do not GET these people.

in serious trouble if it does. Too bad there are so many people who are too blind to see that.

Because a year ago, that is what I said I would do if it happened. Because I never imagined it would happen.
