Trump update

I am rather surprised that some on the Left are running around like headless chickens worrying that Trump's acceptance speech was evil but effective.   I'm not the first to notice, but the giant, angry, head of Trump put me more in mind of this, rather than anything else:




and the dark tone is surely recognized by a very large slab of Americans as an exaggeration, and a cynical one at that.

The Democrat email leaks don't even have me particularly worried - internal party politics can be very dirty, so why should anyone be surprised?  And Clinton has chosen a respected Democrat politician who speaks Spanish, and is Catholic but respects Roe v Wade - ticking quite a few boxes there for voter turnout.  (Speaking of Catholics - surely there are few Catholic bishops in the States comfortable with the idea of a Trump Presidency?)

I remain entirely confident that Trump will not become President.

    If you keep repeating that too often it'll start to sound like you're trying to reassure yourself, Steve.

    PS he reminds me of giant floating heads (not the blue-turbaned one, the one right after the title rolls - from John Boorman's trippy film Zardoza.)

    Not sure why that is relevant, Homes. Republicans are not all necessarily fundamentalists like you

    I have proof that Trump will lose: Kates endlessly sings his praises. :)
