2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Brutal must read from the Sun Sentinel....Republican party is finished [View all]calimary
(81,110 posts)Makes sense if you consider the measure of the man - and what he's obviously regarded as important throughout his life. Consider his behavior past and present, plus his priorities, as indicators of the future. The picture these elements paint does not look very pretty.
The guy is obviously a high-finance gamer. Why else would he have money stashed offshore and in various partnerships and investment groups and complicated maneuvers and shelters and stuff? He's a game-rigger. That's how he got his IRA ridiculously inflated compared to what the rest of us commoners can do with ours. He's a predator and a vulture and an opportunistic infection.
I hope he takes his party down - and they splinter irreparably. Hopefully that will keep them from building the coalitions they'd need to get back into the White House. But they ARE on the wrong side of history. I think of my kids and their friends - who've grown up with peer groups that included kids of every color, faith, ethnicity, nationality, and even sexual orientation. Their generation will likely kill a lot of that old racist, sexist, and homophobic thinking as it dies out on the elder end and is not replaced on the younger end. Hopefully.
I must say - I certainly have had enough of that bullshit! MORE than enough.
