Trump wins.

How do we explain to another generation that a woman who served her country all her life, was first lady of the US for 8 years, served as a NY senator, and served as the secretary of state of the United States (along with 90 other things) was cast aside for a shallow, misogynistic, pompous ass, male reality show host who was crank calling tv stations as "John Miller" to say women wanted to bang him while Hillary worked her ass off, God forbid Trump wins?

That the voters ditched an insanely qualified, brilliant, hard-working woman for an egomaniacal guy who judges women by their appearance in swimsuits? Who derides women who challenge his misogyny with intelligent, level-headed questions by alluding to their menstrual cycle?

What message does this send?

I want to punch Trump voters.

The message is basically, "This country hates women. Good luck with your life!"

I've never been violent, but Trump makes me feel that way.

between candidates being this great in any election. No, not even Bush/Gore or Bush/Kerry. Not even Nixon/Kennedy or Nixon/McGovern. At least in those cases, both candidates at least understood the political process and followed basic electoral rules.

Electing Trump would be like hiring a lifeguard who didn't know how to swim and who feared water. Luckily for the country, that won't happen. We're going to elect one of the best presidents ever!

Thanks, Cha. That "Brave" ad is priceless.
