    It’s not just that the race shouldn’t be close; the race shouldn’t exist. In an even vaguely sane world, Trump would be a crackpot independent that no major party would touch and wouldn’t be on any ballots, acting as a write-in candidate for your nutjob uncle with untreated delusional disorder.

      I completely agree. Politicians have lost their entire careers for doing less than what Trump has done: Howard Dean, Al Franken, Dukakis, and Anthony Wiener to name a few.

        Oh, Trump does shit on a five-times-a-day basis that would make the Dukakis tank “scandal” blush. Like serving a college football team a feast of McDonald’s at the White House alone (let alone the ridiculous, out-of-touch McDonald’s photo op yesterday) is so, so much dumber than the helmet. The helmet wasn’t even dumb, frankly – the voters were – but if it were, the things Trump does at minimum would be dozens of times dumber.
