I understand the lesser of two evils argument. For me it has limits. I get that for others it is overwhelmingly compelling. I respect your contention.

That’s not the subject of my posts, nor in those I was responding to. The subject is that so many here are kidding themselves that Trump isn’t sinking. He most certainly is, and tragically it is under his own weight. She is an eminently beatable candidate.

Regardless of whether I am for him or not, I believe he is going down, and will continue to do so. I assure you I don’t want her as president. Unfortunately it takes more than all of us on these boards to elect any Republican candidate. And he is losing those pesky other people.

I think he got away with so much so far because he looked strong. Ridicule doesn’t easily work against a strong opponent. With his lack of preparation for the debate, he looked weak, and his eternal willingness to be baited by others made him look silly in the back-and-forth with the criminal, and his subsequent Twitter war with a former beauty-pagent contestant. Ridicule of him was more effective after that, and now the libs are layering on disclosures of things worthy of disgust. It is sticking, and I doubt the worst has come yet. He first began becoming an object of ridicule, and now is one of contempt - to the 10% or so of the voting public on the fence that need to vote “R”.

That’s what I am seeing, and I wish someone would convince him to bow out, though I doubt it will happen. In my opinion - and I could certainly be wrong - he is on track to lose... so a change to the ticket is a better path to avoiding “President Hillary” than wishes and delusional posts hoping that Trump himself released this tape as some sort of strategic masterstroke, or that he really won the debate, or that these recorded comments will help him with “macho” men. I am shocked how many of these posts I have read since yesterday.
