At this point, the race from the Republican side seems like Trump versus his own mental illness and cognitive deficiencies. And it’s only going to get worse the more he realizes he’s heading to defeat.

And we'll see the support contract down to the real hard core. That's when things get dark.

Be careful. We said that at this time in 2016.

Coney didn't fuck everything up, the DNC did. The DNC pushed a wildly unpopular, and unrelatable candidate, while sabotaging Bernie, because they'd rather have trump than a socialist in charge.

If only it was as pointed as all that. Repubs try to mobilize right populism for the benefit of the rich, and Dems try to redirect left populism for the rich. The DNC is practically mandated to neuter progressivism on behalf of donors.
