At least withHillary we have some idea of how she will perform in office. Standing in the shadow of Bill, Hillary will serve as the extension of his popular and successful presidency. Trump, OTOH has proven to be an impetuous, ignorant megalomaniac, full of vindictiveness. Do we want such a tyrant to be our president.No more of a threat than Hillary.
How did we end up with these 2 as candidates?
Are right wing White males so desperate for a return to universal White male hegemony that they would sacrifice the principles of Democracy for ALL?
I fear the answer to my question, if posed to White Americans, would all too often be a resounding , "yes."
Trump is has declared that he and he alone can fix all of America's problems. His messianic declarations have had a hypnotic Rasputin like effect on his supporters to the extent that visions of Hitler are invoked.
Perhaps Trump's equivocal conquest of the GOP marks the nadir of American conservatism and ushers in a new populist regime. One that aims to " make america White again at any cost,to include armed force.
Oh please.... it will just be the extension of the Clinton corruption. She makes Nixon look honest.
