There is no longer any doubt that Trump is an ignoramus, a bully, a boor, a lout and a villain.

But that really isn't the issue. The real problem is that millions of people voted for him, and that many of those who opposed him are now looking for excuses to support him, queuing up to kiss his ass and covering for him. It is certainly possible (although not necessarily probable) he will be our next President.

The problem isn't the candidate. Its the electorate. The fact that there are as many people in this country that have either supported him, or are willing to support him in the absence of another Republican nominee, is terrifying. I can understand there are a lot of people, including Democrats, who don't like Hillary. But the fact that so many voters prefer Trump to any Republican or Democrat is even more terrifying.

For metaphorical purposes, to illuminate this discussion, I tried to come up with a Democrat or Liberal as unqualified and unsuitable for national office as Mr Trump. Someone I could then say was so bad I would rather vote for Mitt Romney or Jeb Bush or Lindsay Graham or Marco Rubio or some other moderate Republican instead. Well, I couldn't think of any. The most unsuitable Democrats I can conceive of, John Edwards and Anthony Weiner, are STILL superior to Trump.

There is only one little nugget of truth that keeps me from surrendering to total despair. For years now, Conservatives have been whining they can't establish their Conservative utopia because they can't get REAL Conservatives nominated to run for President. All they get is RINOs, squishes, moderates and Bushes. They have continually complained that the Conservative majority is constantly being short-changed and betrayed and ignored. Well, Mr Trump has demonstrated who that "Conservative Majority" will vote for when it gets its way. The Donald! Not Cruz, not Gingrich, not Paul, not Cantor or Ryan, not some Bible-banking redneck southerner or gun-toting Texas cowboy. They nominated Trump, a buiffoon most declared Conservatives can't stand--or at least couldn't stand him until he was nominated.

What I take away from this is that there is no "Conservative Majority". Just a bunch of knuckle-dragging, banjo-plucking, inbred trailer-trash bimbos and dildos who can't read without moving their lips.
