Not to fear. Trump's nomination is a great thing for Democrats!

First, since they know he will lose, it will make the Republicans desperate to save their majority in the Senate so they will less obstructionist. Obama might even be able to appoint a Supreme Court Justice.

Secondly, it guarantees Hillary's victory (and the next one or twd Justices).

And Trump can't win. Most Republicans will either not vote, nor will they work to get out the vote. Many may vote for Hillary. Even the Neo-Cons will be either voting for her or staying home.

Donald Trump’s runaway success in the GOP primaries so far is setting off alarm bells among neoconservatives who are worried he will not pursue the same bellicose foreign policy that has dominated Republican thinking for decades.

Neoconservative historian Robert Kagan — one of the prime intellectual backers of the Iraq War and an advocate for Syrian intervention — announced in the Washington Post last week that if Trump secures the nomination, “the only choice will be to vote for Hillary Clinton.”

Max Boot, an unrepentant supporter of the Iraq War, wrote in the Weekly Standard that a “Trump presidency would represent the death knell of America as a great power,” citing, among other things, Trump’s objection to a large American troop presence in South Korea.

Trump has done much to trigger the scorn of neocon pundits. He denounced the Iraq War as a mistake based on Bush administration lies, just prior to scoring a sizable victory in the South Carolina GOP primary. In last week’s contentious GOP presidential debate, he defended the concept of neutrality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is utterly taboo on the neocon right.

1. You're probably right.

But that little seed of doubt is eating away at me.

2. Me too, but I remind myself of the numbers.

But the I wonder about wild cards. Like what would happen if there was a major terrorist attack on American soil in, say, September?

3. It should eat away at you. He's dangerous and he's got a good chance at beating Clinton in Nov

Here's what you need to feed your seed of doubt. ==> http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027649277

He beats Clinton in most polls. The only difference is that his voters are motivated and enthusiastic and Clinton's support is a little tepid (as seen by lower Democratic turnout in primaries this year).

Some people are laughing at Donald Trump and the GOP circus. I'm wondering if he doesn't have a clear, plausible plan to win already laid out.
