Choosing Trump For President Is Just National Suicide. Just Plain Terrifying.

[TheMastersNemesis]

You would have to feel like a terrified passenger on a commercial jet with an insane and homicidal pilot at the controls. Every day with every Trump event it looks worse and worse. This election cycle is just plain unwatchable now. This latest health record disaster just make you want to vomit. What complete god damned sham.

I would like to be hopeful, but it is hard to be. If and when Hillary wins I just might get sauced which is something I never do. And the GOP will just be more videos than they have ever been even to Obama.

1. the problem is the media isn't interested in choosing a president. they're choosing a headliner.

they want to have 4 years of stories with trump in the oval office.

who will he bomb next?
what treaty will he violate this week?
will he say "you're fired" to someone in the cabinet?
will he actually play some fiddle while the country burns?

those are gonna be some awesome headlines to write!
great stories!
disasters make the careers of media personalities.

covering a hillary presidency would just be a slog.
lots of wonky stories about aaactually making government work help oooordinary americans.
so dull, so boring, i can feel my own personal media popularity sinking.

c'mon, trump is better for my career as a media personality! let's do it america!



*that's* how they see it.

any sense of responsibility about making the country a better place died a long, long time ago.

2. Don't get sauced, that's wasteful

Get the vote out in your area. We need other dems to know that their votes matter and that we do not take any of them for granted.

If HRC is going to lead, she'll need a congress to get that done with. Downballot dems will need votes too.

Get them registered.

Get them motivated.

Get them to the polls one way or another.

Then you can get sauced.

3. We Are Already Involved With GOTV Efforts.

In Jefferson County Colorado there already is a GOTV operation going on. For some reason this county is a bellwether for what will happen nationally. How this county goes reflects national trends for some reason. So we are seeing a lot of money flowing in here even at the local level.

A while back Jefferson County called back a slate of nitwit Christian Nazis trying to destroy the schools. We won a very long shot and I hope we can smash the GOP this time.

8. I live in Jefferson County too...

And every weekend there are volunteers at our dog park getting voters registered...

We can't panic and know that Hillary's ground game is amazing... We need Hillary back on the trail and get back to talking about policy...hit Trump a bit but take the high road and go positive!!

4. This piece offers some interesting

insights (and provokes several questions) about Trump's appeal to his supporters:

7. Interesting comparison - remember the 1970 movie Airport?

Maureen Stapleton's husband (Van Heflin) is the mad bomber, and Maureen is running around the airport begging people to forgive her.

I feel like those sane Americans on the world stage shouting "Forgive us! He doesn't represent us! He's crazy!"

Sheesh.
