Ill take Trump, warts and all.
good post..comport nicely with my own beliefs; problem is, the Dems start out the election with basically 247 electoral votes in the bag...
a pretty big hill for any one person to surmount; but I’m glad we’ll get the chance to see Trump try it...

I'm not so sure they have near 247 in the bag. We are in a different world now. My reasoning here is not that there aren't more "takers" within the electorate, it's that as we see with the Bernie and Trump phenomena, THEY AREN'T HAPPY EITHER.
A cursory examination of the turnout measurements in both Dem and Rep primaries shows that the verve, the enthusiasm is definitely shown to be a rejection of the Obama years, an intense one, bringing in new voters and causing other, traditional liberal voting blocs to stay home. This is why Hillary is performing so badly.
Will Trump win New York? Probably not, but New York is in play, meaning "purple" states, based on turnout, could turn red.
We really need to run against Hillary. Hillary allows us to run against Obama's policies without the racial guilt factor. Bernie is not as indelibly tied to the Obama years. If Hillary runs, we win. Bernie scares me, he could conceivably get all the takers to the voting booth. And we all know how that ends up. I say go Trump, and go Hillary.
