Gee, Who Could Have Predicted This?

Hillary Clinton should be the easiest Democrat Party candidate to beat in at least a generation. Her life has been one scandal after another. Just this week there were more revelations about the State Department under her leadership transferring weapons to Libyan rebels, who later formed the Islamic State (ISIS). This was happening just before the attack on our consulate and CIA annex in Benghazi, an attack she blamed on some stupid You Tube video. We also found out that the Obama administration literally flew a plane load of cash, $400 million to be exact, to the Iranians on the same day they released US hostages. Of course, this was done on the sly to keep the American people in the dark.

Those two stories should be leading the news coverage this week. Instead we are treated to a barrage of idiotic things Donald Trump has done and said.

He just couldn’t keep his mouth shut after the Democrat’s convention and had to go on the attack against the Khan’s. Regardless of what you think of their political motives, they are Gold Star parents who lost a son and they have a right to speak their minds. That’s the narrative playing out and Trump should have known to just leave it alone.

Then he kicked a baby out of one of his rallies, and the baby’s mother, too. Seriously. Who freaking does that?

Hillary Clinton is spending millions of dollars on ads in swing states that feature Trump talking. As far as I can tell Trump has spent nothing in response. But he does keep shooting off his mouth and griping about the election being rigged, so he’s providing her with plenty of fodder for even more attack ads.

Then not only did he accept a Purple Heart given to him by a veteran, he made a big deal about it. “I’ve always wanted a Purple Heart,” said the man who called avoiding venereal disease his own personal Vietnam.

So of course, the media is now all over these boneheaded moves by the orange buffoon. How did so many Republican voters not see this coming? Some of us were warning about it for months during the primary. The media wanted him to win the nomination, that’s why they gave him so much free air time. They knew he would be the gift that keeps on giving and boy has he ever delivered for them. The naked lesbian pictures of his wife Melania are just icing on the crap cake of the Trump candidacy.

It’s one thing to “tell it like it is,” but quite another to have no filter whatsoever. I’d be embarrassed to talk to this guy at a party, and the kind of parties I like to go to aren’t the snooty kind.

But yeah, the election is rigged. Just like the primary was rigged.

I’m surprised the latest poll only shows Hillary leading by 10 points. That just goes to show what an absolute horror he is as a candidate. Excuse me while I gag.

Nothing about the way Trump is behaving or conducting his campaign does anything to ease my suspicion that he’s nothing more than a progressive plant. He played up every caricature and stereotype of Republican voters and they took the bait, proving in the minds of their detractors that they’re as bad as everyone said they were.

Not only is Trump on track to lose the election, he’s taking the Republican Party and the conservative movement down with him. Just look at the way so-called conservatives are cheering the defeat of a rock-solid conservative to an establishment darling. These people have lost their minds.

To those of you responsible for the nomination of Trump, save your finger wagging about the Supreme Court. If Hillary Clinton is the next president you have nobody to blame but yourselves. He was your choice. Live with it.

And don’t tell me that the reason he’s losing is because people like me won’t get on board. Step out of your bubble for a few minutes and listen to, read and watch news that most American voters absorb. They aren’t hearing about “Crooked Hillary,” they are hearing about the horror show that is the Trump campaign.

Oh, and I just had to laugh when I momentarily tuned into the Sean Hannity show on the radio this afternoon. I thought he had a shred of sanity left when he said maybe Trump should just shut up for a change. That’s when Hannity should have shut up. Instead he whined that if Clinton wins in November it will be the fault of the Republican establishment. I suppose he was referring to the same Republican establishment that could have done something to stop Trump at the convention, but that wasn’t what Hannity was getting at. He blames them for not being limber enough for the mental gymnastics it takes to defend their buffoonish new leader.

So this is the state of the presidential race with only 95 or so days to go until the big day. Is it any wonder that those of us who haven’t lost our minds are ready to give up in despair?

I think I need another few days, or weeks, or maybe months off line, just to keep my head from imploding.

Update: Note to the GOP – the time to panic was three weeks ago when there was a shred of a chance to do something about it. Too late now, knuckleheads.
