The Trump campaign is a train wreck in slow motion

Die-hard Trump supporters refuse to believe their hero is losing badly, citing the sizes of the crowds at his rallies: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/12/us/politics/donald-trump-voters.html?_r=0

Even as Trump himself was pointing out crowd size, a campaign strategist tweeted out this photo:



30,000 people at a Mitt Romney rally held just weeks before the 2012 election.

Meanwhile:

Senior GOP officials are growing increasingly worried that Donald Trump might do what once seemed impossible: Put the House in play and hand Democrats unified control of Washington in the upcoming elections.

“The House is in play,” John Weaver, a senior Republican strategist and close adviser to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, told the Daily News. “People are going to lose in November who did everything correctly, who ran perfect campaigns. The Trump cesspool will just pull them down.”

Weaver, an anti-Trump Republican, isn’t alone in his analysis that the GOP nominee’s cratering campaign is creating a vortex that could pull down a number of down-ticket Republicans who until now didn’t think they were in trouble.

Trump supporters may very well refuse to vote for any of the many Republicans who have turned on Trump. Republicans who would ordinarily be out pulling a straight GOP ticket may be so disgusted by Trump that they stay home on Election Day.

And speaking of Election Day:

“Go and register. Make sure you get out and vote November 28,” Trump told supporters in Panama City, Fla.

Oops. They'd be 20 days too late.

LOL, love it.   Serves them right for choosing such a revolting human being.

You know, that point can't be emphasized enough. The Republican Party has only itself to blame for this.

Historically speaking, it's very hard for an American political party to retain control of the White House for more than eight years. And Hillary Clinton, it's been noted (a lot), is still not viewed favorably by the majority of the U.S. public.

A smart, qualified, tactful right-of-center candidate would probably have won handily. But that is demonstrably not what the Republican voters wanted.

Play to the lowest form of life and you get a slap from a wet fish, and boy have they been slapped.
