My plan for defeating trump this Fall

Last edited Wed Aug 3, 2016, 10:12 AM - Edit history (1)

- put my feet up and watch him making a fool of himself
- point
- laugh
- vote D in the Fall (and watch trump Fall)

No intervention required, self-destruction is inevitable.
His only saving grace: the amusement provided.

The scary part: some folks will really vote for him.


ETA: As was pointed out below (and I consider self-evident) get out and vote for Hillary.

They wanted him and now they are stuck with him. When will they ever learn?

There have been several psychological studies that show the differences between conservative thinking and liberal thinking. In short, liberals are more open-minded and will learn from experience and knowledge. And I'm glad for that fact because it helps our side win elections.

So long as people keep insulting him and pointing out his lies, he will stay in a frenzy. Where we need him to stay.

My first thought on reading your title was settling back with a glass of wine.

CONGRESS! Lawrence O'Donnell thinks Ryan, McConnell, and McCain will back Trump to the bitter end because they must have the support of the Trump voters to hold both houses of Congress. Nothing is as important now to them. If Trump voters stayed home they'd lose it all.

8. I object

I didn't say I wouldn't vote.
I didn't say not to vote.
I object to even capitalizing his name.
I hope everyone here votes for Hillary in November.
I support Hillary and no one else.
trump will not win.
trump will defeat himself.
I never thought he was serious about running and I'm still not sure he actually will.

However, as has been said, "...there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
Vote for a winner but remember to point and laugh at trump.

Otherwise you plainly said you were just going to:

- put my feet up and watch him making a fool of himself
- point
- laugh

No intervention required, self-destruction is inevitable.

Just sayin'. Please add vote to the list. Voting is a necessary intervention.
