Yea, there’s a lot of wishful thinking on FR that is eerily similar to 2012.

I hear ya, but my gut tells me there is an undercurrent of Trump support the polls do not show. But then it has been wrong before.

I just get hung up on how hard the PTBs, on both sides, are fighting him. That smells like Victory, somehow. I mean LA Times poll with Cankles up 1%? That is just weird.

It doesn’t depress me like it did in 2012. Because it’s not just about the polls now. It’s about the entire candidacy. Like there is this real person, Donald Trump, who is running for PResident.

But then there is this imaginary candidate “Donald Trump” that a lot of people here claim is running for President, that has a whole different set of beliefs, character, and ability.

It’s like we finally found the perfect candidate, the one we make up in our head and pretend is running.

Is Mass Psychosis a thing? Apparently so.

Given that though, I’m not sure if I am supposed to care whether Trump wins or loses. I mean, just on principle, I’d rather a Turnip win than Hillary, and Trump has some of the same letters as Turnip.

I mean, I have no idea what Trump stands for, or what he’ll do, so I guess there is a theoretical possibility that he will do the right thing once in a while.
