This is great--a 17 minute video--with all the crazy things that Donald Trump has said and you don't even have to read it--but you OWE it to yourself to at least spend the next 17 minutes listening to it.
176 Reasons Donald Trump Shouldn't Be President - GQ Videos - The Scene
My favorite: Trump claimed to have accurately predicted BREXIT when three weeks prior he had never heard of BREXIT.
Could the man be a bigger joke? Trump really should run for Comedian Emeritus of every college and university in the country, and sure, at the nation's comedy clubs too.
FLASHBACK:
Calm down. Trump won’t be President – and Britain won’t leave the EU.
The nightmare of a Trump presidency and a Brexit vote ain’t gonna happen
Trump is essentially trapped inside his own invective. The more violently he attacks Clinton, the more unstable and unlikeable he seems. He does not have a plan B. He is not thinking coolly or strategically. He is a dyspeptic gorilla in a cage, and on the evidence of a very
effective opening salvo, Clinton knows exactly how and what to poke through the bars.
It will soon become apparent that the big mistake of this whole electoral cycle was not, “We had no idea how popular Trump could be.” It was, “We had no idea how removed a large segment of the core GOP electorate has become from the rest of the nation.”
We haven’t even got time to discuss the vast differences in organizational capability between the two camps, or the fact that Trump is an almost spookily perfect opponent for Hillary Clinton, throwing her strengths into relief and compensating for her weaknesses by being such an enthusiasm-generator for Democrats.
By the end of this campaign I suspect Trump will regret ever having got into politics. Even if he only loses by a few points, his name will be permanently toxified. His TV career will be in jeopardy, as will his property business, which is dependent on his personal brand. In fact, I’m still not entirely sure that he is going to be on the ballot come November - he may engineer his own departure from the race.
Let’s move to Britain’s Trump: Brexit.
The golden rule of politics is that most voters don’t care about politics. Everything follows from this first principle.
Since most voters don’t care about politics, and don’t want to have to care about politics, they vote for the option that presents the least hassle, the least risk, and the least politics.
This immediately makes the sovereignty argument irrelevant, and possibly counter-productive. People are not longing for more democracy, because more democracy sounds suspiciously like more politics. And even the Brexiteers cannot conceal that the process of untangling ourselves from the EU will take years. That’s to say, it will involve more politics.
