I'm not sure who will be there in 2020, but if it is Hillary again, I will be forced once again to vote for Trump. Don't blame the "angry middle-aged white males" for the failure to be given a better alternative. Don't pretend you know what you are talking about when it comes to "angry middle-aged white males" ... You need someone to point the finger at? Look in the mirror.

I don't get it. What are you talking about? I don't need to look in the mirror. Not a Hillary fan. Didn't vote for her. And she's not going to run again. Trumpettes like to throw that out there to scare the old folks. I certainly do blame the angry middle-aged white male who got Donald nominated and elected. There were plenty of viable alternatives. But no - the aforementioned group had to have a juvenile fit and nominate the guy they saw on The Apprentice. Now the joke is on them. And the rest of us.

But I'm not laughing.

Hey - "Grab them by the [bleep]" worked.

Adam, we all need to be a little more careful about assigning motives to people.
Sammy said he preferred Ben Carson.  
I agree with you, Adam, that Trump was the worst possible choice among the Republican nominees, and I think anyone who voted for him in the primaries made a terrible, incorrect choice... but I won't speculate about why they did it.  They each had millions of different reasons.
But I have a lot more sympathy for the folks who voted Trump in the general election, when the choices were just, Trump, Clinton, or protest vote.
