I do too. I pray every night to my non-existent sky daddy that Trump gets it. It will put the evangelicals in such a quandary they won't know whether to shit or go to church. He's a fucking social liberal, regardless of what he says. He doesn't care about abortion. He's not religious. The only thing he has going for him is that he'll say anything. Are they really crazy enough to vote for him on that alone? Let him get the nomination and we'll find out.

Then on March 1, we're looking at a half dozen southern states in the mix...where Trump is issuing all the simplistic sound bites that our conservative contingent on the boards find so alluring.
It could happen and with Hillary apparently already fading, who does that leave for the dems? I think its more likely the country would elect Trump than Bernie Sanders. Self-admitted socialists don't win presidential elections. Joe Biden? I think Biden is a good man but he's a fuck-up who talks too much.
I keep trying to think of what might happen to slow Trump's momentum and I can't think of what that might be. If what he has done up to this point (insult war veterans, issue racial slurs, attack women, act like an arrogant bully, issue simplistic absurd pronouncements as solutions for extremely complex problems) hasn't slowed him down, then what is it gonna be? The fact is, the more ridiculous and over-the-top he becomes, the more the whacks adore him.
He could be the next President, god help us all.
