If things stay as they are you are probably right, Greger. The only wrinkle is that Trump never makes it to the General Election. He is losing more and more support among Republicans. If there is some last ditch attempt to save the party, or if he get indicted for one of the many indictable offenses he has committed, then they could run someone else. Not that I think whoever that was would have a snowball's chance in hell of winning but it could change the dynamic a bit.

...Orlando wasn't good for Republicans as it further highlighted their lack of support for the LGBTQ community...
There's an escalating catfight between hero journalist Anderson Cooper, a gay, and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, a Republican, who has spent much of her professional career fighting against LGBT equality, but who, in the wake of 49 people murdered at a gay club in Orlando, wants us to believe she’s ALWAYS been a friend of the Friends of Dorothy.
Like, how it is so unfair how Anderson Cooper and all of the internet is saying, "Pam is a bigot." While Pam Bondi is flipping her hair this way and that, asking why everybody gotta be so mean? Let's watch:
Apparently Donald Trump has been dissing our military and accusing them of grift:

Iraq, crooked as hell. How about bringing baskets of money — millions and millions of dollars — and handing it out? I want to know who were the soldiers that had that job, because I think they’re living very well right now, whoever they may be.
The interesting thing about that money we sent to Iraq: It was Iraq's money! Apparently it was oil income we held while Iraq was under an embargo. So we definitely owed it to them after the regime changed and the embargo was lifted.
I'm not sure the right government officials received it, but it certainly got into the Iraqi economy when their own currency had collapsed.
everything about that Iraqi mess was sloppy and ill conceived
A non-stop cluster-f**k, right from the start.
And still continuing!
As Frontline stated, VP Cheney and Scooter Libby changed (read: fixed) the CIA Analysis to read that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction - and Colin Powell unwittingly repeated the lie to the U.N.
Why Cheney isn't being investigated for this and war crimes is beyond me! ,
Whoooo boy! On Memorial Day 1927 in Queens, NY - a brawl erupted led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. A one Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica, Queens, NY was arrested and later discharged. Fred Trump is Donald's daddy. No wonder The Donald is so hard-pressed to disavow the Klan. Sheesh!

The predication for the Klan to march, according to a flier passed around Jamaica beforehand, was that "Native-born Protestant Americans" were being "assaulted by Roman Catholic police of New York City." "Liberty and Democracy have been trampled upon," it continued, "when native-born Protestant Americans dare to organize to protect one flag, the American flag; one school, the public school; and one language, the English language."

Because the Gilded Folk protect their own. They have the blood of every victim of Isis, Al Qaeda, etc. on their hands. They have engendered the beginning of a global war that will drag everyone down. They are guilty of crimes against humanity. There are punishments for that...

Yes, that über-liberal virtual rag, Town Hall, is even down on the Donald.

Writes Allahpundit: "If even a major terror attack can’t get voters to take a second look at the would-be strongman, what’ll it take? Trump’s image is so horribly poor among the general electorate that he can’t win without convincing voters to give him a second look. If a jihadi shooting up a nightclub while Trump is demanding a ban on Muslims abroad doesn’t do it, maybe nothing’s going to do it." A reasonable concern. Is his description of Trump's standing among the overall electorate as "horribly poor" perhaps a bit unfair? Not according to a new Washington Post/ABC News poll. Remember when I characterized Trump's 67 percent unfavorable mark in that series as "unelectable" territory back in March? Well, the billionaire rebounded to a less-catastrophic (37/60) after clinching the nomination last month, edging slightly ahead of Clinton on a hypothetical ballot. Those gains have now disappeared, and then some:
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
