It's depressing watching Trump eat away at Clinton's lead. His tactics are beyond the pale--insisting that Mrs Clinton's election will create a "constitutional crisis." His claims that the election is rigged are fatuous. He wants to sue everyone who has challenged him. He and his surrogates are doing everything they can to chip away at the American democratic process.
But beyond that I am depressed by the number of people who have voted or who intend to vote for Trump. I can't even guess what they think they would get. His economic and foreign policies are insane--we've seen what his improving prospects have done to the stock market over the past few days. Most people in other countries think we're insane to slow candidate to get this far--Saudi Arabia with nukes!
More than two thirds of the statements out of his mouth are lies, but he has the gall to call Hillary a liar. One publication went through his speeches and discovered he tells a lie on average every three minutes. His feelings towards women and minorities--essentially anyone different from him--have been clearly set out during the campaign.
Hillary may not be the perfect candidate, but no one can argue that there has ever been a more qualified person to run for president. Trump's ignorance of anything outside real estate fraud is a disgrace to grownups every where.
I find the prospect of a Trump presidency absolutely frightening. I can't understand why some people view it without concern.
