"But lost in the hand wringing was Donald Trump’s usual bombastic litany of lies, hyperbole, bigotry, ignorance, and fear mongering. His performance demonstrated once again that he is a danger to democracy and unfit for office.”

“In fact, the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.”

    Hah, no ones deluded enough to think trump wants to serve America or even that he gives a flying f*ck about what’s good for it. This man is the pure crystallisation of “I don’t need to win, I just need you to lose”. He’ll set this country on fire before taking any kind of responsibility or agency for the position he’s vying for.

      Oh my sweet summer child…

      They believe that Trump is simultaneously the reincarnation of JFK jr, and JFK jr is going to come back from the dead and be his VP. Scientist need to invent about 200 more dimensions in order to describe the space their mental gymnastics flips and cartwheels through.

        Do they really. I’ve been lucky enough not to know or interact with anyone like this. My impression has been he’s patently corrupt enough to push through things they want so they support him. Like conservative supreme court justices who abolished roe v wade. The man is a habitual adulterer and I doubt anyone thinks he hasn’t had a mistress get an abortion. They don’t care he doesn’t represent their ideals, they just care he’ll support them regardless.

      He needs to win so he gets that sweet, sweet presidential immunity for the countless crimes he has committed. Whether that fully protects him remains to be seen, but that’s clearly the goal.
