Donald Trump: The candidate of the apocalypse
The Washington Compost ^ | July 22, 2016 | Editorial Board

THESE ARE anxious times in America. Despite a steadily, if slowly, growing economy and the absence of a major war, people remain troubled by a sense of national underperformance and myriad social ills, most recently the surge in racially tinged fatal shootings committed by law enforcement officers and against them. A new Gallup poll reports that only 17 percent of Americans feel satisfied with the way things are going, the lowest percentage since October 2013 — and down 12 points in just the past month.

For many, of course, a cause of concern is Donald Trump, who accepted the Republican presidential nomination Thursday evening. Belligerent and erratic, Mr. Trump nevertheless has a serious chance to win in November. In his acceptance speech, he sought to enhance his political prospects the only way he knows how: by inflaming public angst, so as to exploit it.

Mr. Trump took real challenges and recast them in terms that were not only exaggerated but also apocalyptic...

And while they denigrate the “grief-deranged” mother of Sean Smith for speaking at the Republican Convention, I am sure the will praise to high heavens whatever is said by the mother of Michael Brown at the Demon Rat convention.

Of course, as they might ask:
“At this point, what difference does it make?”

Hopefully, enough to cause a TRiUMPhant victory in November!!!

Love the left, build a wall, they'll tunnel under it. However, can't legally buy an AR-15, guess that will stop all shootings.

Kind of glad I'm in the middle of a 9 day stretch at work and I'll miss the Dem convention.

——Love the left, build a wall——

The wall will be metaphorical. There will be a deal, an offer the Mexican government dare not refuse, that will result in Mexican efforts to curtail the illegal border crossing. Mexico will pay for that effort

Meanwhile, the border patrol will be unleashed to do it’s job

Obama is doing everything he can to make America like “The Walking Dead”. Here, he portrays himself as the psychopathic Frank Underwood. Except Frank learned it all from HIM:

Hillary is 4 more years of the same.

I say they’re not delusional. They are purposeful liars who take liberal agendas over the truth. These people are ready for the Antichrist; that is why they cannot discern the antichrist spirit already let loose.

I didn’t watch much of the RNC convention just the highlights the next mornings. I’m just happy it went off without any real threats.

Yep! I heard today that Trump portrayed the USA as a “Mad Max” environment. They are running - the louder and crazier they get, the more we know how effective DJT’s message is.
