The Donald Trumps Fox

I look at Trump this way

There was a time in this country when the idea of electing an actor to be Governor of California or POTUS were just as far fetched.

Not similar situations. The American public has judged Trump and they've judged him negatively. He's not going to change over the next year and they're not going to suddenly reevaluate him positively. He doesn't have any appeal outside of the crazy side of the GOP base and that's not going to expand.

In a perfect world, that would be enough to win him the nomination and keep the crazy train rolling but even that's a long shot. I understand that you're really only a bunch of Americans and not a whole lot can be expected from you but the subset of your population who thinks it's funny to shoot yourself in the face for shits and giggles doesn't add up to an electoral mandate under any type of situation.

Now, if Trump is the candidate, Clinton might finally get around to admitting that she flew to Benghazi on batwings to personally slice the US Ambassador's throat just for the sake of evil because she wants to make it somewhat competitive, but even that wouldn't do it. There is absolutely no risk of Trump becoming your next President, so you can feel free to just laugh and not have any kind of worry.

Well, y'all can play The Donald cheap if you want too. He may never live at 1600, but that doesn't mean he won't pave the way for another who will.

And as for the American Public, they may find themselves too busy posting Trump jokes on Facebook to vote.

No, Clinton has a massive ground game and she's not going to let her guard down like she did against Obama, even if she's only facing Trump. She'll just fear-monger the shit out of the last few months of the campaign and pick up the House and Senate as a result.

I think that the only lasting effect that Trump will have is to raise barriers to stop a future Trump from happening. It will be a boon for the establishment candidates who now see what happens when they lose control of the process and let just any old person go and participate in a democracy.
 
Just how unelectable is Trump? There is no chance he could win a general election? Remember, Shrub Bush won two of those. Trump is loud and obnoxious enough to get a lot of people excited and out to vote, be it for him or against him. At least he'll get the voter turn out really high, yes?

Pretty fucking unelectable. Shock politics is just like shock radio. For every viewer you pick up, you annoy two. In a big radio market, that gives you a 33 share. That's not enough to get elected.

Don't be so cocksure about that. We elected an idiot in 2000. It CAN happen.

I'll take the bet. I've called every Presidential election since Carter and Ford. If Trump gets the GOP nomination, it hands the White House to whoever.

Many years ago, there was a governor's race in Louisiana. The former Governor Edwards faced the incumbent Buddy Roemer. Edwards was so confident, he was quoted as saying, "The only way I can lose is to be caught in bed with a dead girl, or a live boy."

He was right. Any Democrat who faces Trump can make the same claim.
