Finally, a leader willing to embrace mutual destruction. Show us the way o' great petulant one.

So....

Trump can't win, they claim.

And yet he defeated 16 others, garnering more votes than any Republican in history.

Meanwhile the shoe-in, can't lose, it's hers for the asking, candidate barely defeated a 74 year old Communist, and then only by way of cheating.

She's spent ten's of millions attacking him and the race is even (or he's slightly ahead). He hasn't spent anything to speak of (yet).

The media is completely in the tank for her; ignoring her criminal actions, her many scandals, her ineptness, her poor job performance... her blatant lies, her treason.

And yet she can't put the election away.

She has a 20 point advantage - just because of media bias - and the race is even.

I think the mantra should be altered:

Hillary can't win - unless she cheats.

And that is the only way she can win.

Only 96 days to go and our long national nightmare will be over.

"It's not designed to debate the decision."

The single most chilling sentence I have ever heard in my life.

Zero safeguards. Zero.

Holy crap.

But all those other Republicans who aren't voting Trump are what, some media creation? If Trump wins, expect some Bonfire Night activities.

@2: Hillary isn't miles ahead because:

A) A frighteningly large number of dolts - like yourself - on the conservative side of the spectrum listen to only right-wing media, and as a direct result, only believe the horseshit they shovel because it confirms their biases, in direct opposition to demonstrable facts. Even your comment in this thread proves you'll only swallow the most mangled facts.

B) Most people have too much going on in their daily lives to give a shit about politics until closer to the election. Trump's polling numbers are going to drop like a stone in the next couple months, especially once the debates start.

@6, yes, that must be it. It's almost as if Hillary Clinton isn't a steaming shitbag who represents everything that's wrong with corporate politics, and that people would rather vote for anyone, including Trump, besides her.

#7 Clinton was already ahead in the polls, up to 15 points, after the DNC -- even before Trump's latest Kahns/babies/nuclear weapons scandals.

But never let reality stand in the way of your Hillary. Derangement Syndrome .

And Sawant says there's no difference between Trump and Clinton…????

Reminder: Lord Basil is some combination of troll and satire.

Also, here is the link to The Hill's writeup, since the delightful Ms. Campbell seems to be having a little trouble with line-break tags fucking up her attempt at a link.

@ 7, not an accurate description of Clinton. But please, go ahead and do what you can to hurt her. It's only the whole world that has to pay for your selfish disappointment.

@11 looks like a typical teabagger to me.

I'm just gonna leave this here

The other funny point: A hawkish pro-Wall Street/neoliberal political insider like Clinton can only win when facing off against a bona-fide demagogue fascist. Dark times indeed.

As D. Graeber pointed out recently, The two most-hated candidates are the nominees for their respective party, can we at least drop the pretense of democracy?
