Don’t be too sure. I think there’s something phenomenal going on here. I look at the contrast between Trump and Hillary and this could be completely different from anything we’ve seen in a long time. Trump has already gotten more total votes than Romney did in all 2012. A lot of those are new voters. You’ll see a lot of people who would never vote for a Republican politician will choose Donald over harsh, Crooked Hillary.
I’m glad to hear you say that. I hesitated for a moment before I typed that Trump would lose Oregon in November.... I don’t know if it was a gut instinct, a premonition, or just blind hope, but something made me hesitate, thinking maybe, just maybe, Trump would win Oregon in November. I agree with you that Trump isn’t typical, and Oregon has a lot of Bernie supporters. When Bernie gets shut out, and those Bernie supporters (who hate Hillary) are faced with the prospect of Trump or Hillary, maybe enough of them will vote for Trump that he can take Oregon. Typically though, the election has been called hours before the polls close in Oregon. But it will certainly be interesting to see if Oregon swings Red this year.
I don't know that it could've been done without someone as informed, intelligent, accomplished, and (yeah) outrageous as Trump. We're too far gone. Only shock therapy could bring the US and other other western nations back to sanity.
The other thing Trump is saying is he believes in US. And he listens to us. It's empowering.
JMHO
