Has Trump Gone Too Far?

Especially if she holds true to the Sanders' policies she claims to have adopted. My biggest concern with her is the regime change tendencies she has shown, especially with what happened in Libya and the current Syrian situation. There's probably a Nobel Peace prize out there for whomever creates a way to quell the Middle Eastern dumpster fire without creating more enemies than we can keep up with ....

The Trump phenomenon is one of life's great mysteries to me, with him being obnoxious, misogynistic, and champion of hatred in general since the day he occurred on the 'scene'. The support that he has garnered to this point concerns me as much as anything.

Let me throw this out there--suppose a lot of people gravitated to Trump in the beginning, before he had the chance to bury both feet in his mouth, when the idea of an outsider had great appeal to a public sick of Washington politicians.  And suppose many of them have stuck to the idea, even though the man is a train wreck.  And suppose others are sticking with him because Hillary is just that bad.  And then suppose others are saying they're still with him but might not end up voting for him.  Maybe it makes some sense if you look at it that way.

Really, Hillary is everything he came into it claiming he was there to stand against.  But he's just too much of a colossal asshole to take advantage of what was a golden opportunity.   That's what pisses me off so much about him being such a tool.  The job was there for the taking.

Hillary should take great pride in beating the worst candidate ever.  If she was really as smart as she thinks she is, she would just say nothing until November and let him beat himself.  Ah, but her massive ego could never allow that.
