Donald Trump could actually win, putting Democrats who say he’s unfit for office in a tight spot.
Matthew Hennessey
September 22, 2016

"As the distance between the present moment and Election Day 2016 shrinks, and as key polls tighten, it’s becoming clear that the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency has liberals and progressives in a panic. But if the Democrats lose their minds, it will only level the playing field; Republicans lost theirs months ago. The first signs of Democratic dementia are evident in the recent outrage at Matt Lauer and Jimmy Fallon for failing to treat Trump as one would treat a radioactive isotope.

"As early as May, Washington Post political columnist E.J. Dionne was declaring that Trump isn’t 'a morally acceptable leader for our country.' In July, Rhode Island Democratic congressman David Cicilline asked President Obama to withhold classified materials from the Trump campaign because the GOP candidate 'represents a threat to the republic itself.' Obama has joined the rhetorical race to paint a Trump administration as beyond the pale of acceptability. 'The Republican nominee is unfit to serve as president,' he said in August during an event in the East Room of the White House. At a Hillary Clinton campaign rally this month in Philadelphia, the president doubled down: '(He) isn’t fit in any way, shape, or form to represent this country abroad and be its commander-in-chief.' Not surprisingly, the Democratic nominee has similar views. 'Donald Trump is unfit to be president,' she tweeted last week. 'We just can’t accept this.'

"Going forward, anyone who so much as offers the GOP nominee a gezuntheit when he sneezes will be accused of “normalizing” his odious and divisive candidacy."

Reading these to stories back-to-back suggests a word to me and that word is "quandary."

If Trumps wins, what exactly would a Hillary Clinton concession speech sound like? "The people have spoken. (We just can't accept this.)" ?

It did not have to be this way.

Hillary will say (IMO) "The people have spoken. God, whose love for erring humanity is immense, help us all!
However, I would like to point out, that historians who make predictions are betting their reputations as interpreters of the past, at risk. It's a parlour game, or a bottles on the table game but history as a profession is not a Janus-headed process. The historian walks backwards, and hopes that the pier is not only long but circular! So far it's been an expanding spiral, I think.
If Trump wins, guys will have to wear baseball caps with the approved slogans....and Keds, even in the winter.

Let's give credit where credit is due, unless the gimmiecrats can sabotage the electors on their way to the Senate in January. I presume they'll try.

The Electors have spoken, they do that on a month and a week following the general election. Civilized life has taken a serious blow. A fresh set of reGimmiecans has moved outwards from the Trump tower, with large and empty sacks. Life spans will continue to shorten in the USA (look it up, the USA lifespan has gone down in the last ten years!), Crimes of intolerance will rise, and the Public School system, and Public Broadcasting will all be under serious attacks.

How do you suppose you seem so utterly to have missed out on the Grace of Hope. I hope you've done better with the others.
