I am genuinely concerned that Trump has loosed the dogs the GOP has been nurturing for decades. Trump will lose, and lose badly. The best majority of Americans understand why, and WANT him to lose. Nonetheless, Trump supporters are not tethered to reality like the rest of us. Many, like the ranter quoted earlier, are full-on nuthouse conspirators. Some want to foment discord. And a small number, we don't know how many, yet, will want to take up arms in support of their detached-from-reality schemes. They scare me more than ISIS.


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
