evaporate even faster than it already is. Reservations at Trump properties are down over 15% since last year and falling. The knuckle draggers might make him feel powerful now, but after the election he will have alienated everybody who could afford anything more than one of his overpriced ties, and the Trump "brand" will be worthless and an embarrassing laughingstock. Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole.

When they decided to ascend through suicide, they were very open about it, and they were still successful at recruiting.

It's much more effective with that picture included, but I figured it was a bit too grotesque and insensitive.

Wore the signature red hat that said "Make America Great Again". "Make The Bigots Scared Again". I agreed with the sentiment, but these people are scared. Their gut is telling them that something is really wrong with the American Dream. My gut has been screaming at me since Ronald Reagan was elected. Trump's supporters are people who don't realize that they have been used by the Republican Party for thirty years. Red meat issues like family values, pro life and second amendment protections have been talked about while nig busines has been mining the wealth from the middle class by creating a credit based, supply side economy that doesn't reinvest in America. It moves jobs and profit overseas. They know in their gut that the rug of prosperity has been pulled out from underneath them. Unfortunately, they are not sophisticated enough to realize that it has been their votes over the last thirty years that has done it. They are to blame. Bernie Sanders has been talking about the problem and proposing astute solutions for the last 30 years.

...which he'll re-name the 'make elections fair!' or 'Take down crooked Hillary' site. Meanwhile, he'll take a job as a pundit on some television station like Faux--one that will allow him to say whatever he wants. Also make the talk show round, and try to drum up a new television show. In the end, Trump will pocket all the money he can suck out of all the suckers--the deluded sending him money and their purple hearts, and the media that thinks he'll up their rating, and he'll use it to invest in some new and suspect casino or hotel or golf course.

And maybe, by then, his faithful will realize they've been bilked and don't want to be so faithful to him any longer. This is assuming that he doesn't FINALLY end up in jail for all his shenanigans.

We'll have at least several very fun months of gloating and laughing at them and watching them squirm. Few things make me happier than watching fascist wingnuts despair.
