This is apocryphal and decidedly politically incorrect.

Hillary will have driven the metaphorical stake through his heart.

She's an exceptionally qualified candidate and he is an exceptionally unqualified candidate, and this is becoming very clear to most voters.

Honestly, I'm more worried about 2018 and 2020 than 2016.

When he loses, his voters will nominate John Wayne Gacy. Bet on it, and be ready.

his tax returns if he released them.

he'll slap his name on a book and go on a pricey speaking tour.
he's already talked about creating trump tv.

in fact, he's probably talked more about what he'll do after losing than what he'd do if he won.

Just like all extremists.

(Brown called him psychotic by the way- and explained why)

went on to win the presidency after losing the presidential race of 1960 and the governor's race in 1962.

Fortunately for us, this will be Trump's one and only foray into politics.

And many extremists aren't there own stakes and manage to do horrific things for a long time.

Fortunately, Trump is quite inept, so I agree that he is his own stake.

Nixon committed political suicide as well.

Dems get pretty timid when those stake are in their hands...

We know from defecting staffers that he never planned to be the nominee -- he was hoping to finish second as a way of building his brand.

Now, instead of getting a boost as the non-politician-who-almost-got-nominated, he's about to go down in history as the most incompetent and reviled candidate ever nominated by a major party, and he's going to do the one thing he hates doing -- lose, lose big, and lose publicly in a way that will never be forgotten.

And if that's not enough, he's actually already hurting his brand -- business at Trump properties is down, and the downturn seems directly linked to his campaign.

So mark it well: Trump (now 70, and not that healthy-looking) will retreat to the wingnutsphere and bilk the gullible, Palin-style, for a few more years. But this election will be a net loss for him, in terms of both money and reputation. He's over, and I suspect it can't come soon enough for him.

Look at how Romney was viewed when he was dithering about running this year. The base hates him for losing to 'The Kenyan". Trump will suffer the same fate if he loses to Hillary.

....and never bothers to speak out or show his face in public for the rest of his life.

I wish him to lose his Trump University case. I wish him charged criminally... on anything. I wish him a plague of locusts. I wish him humiliation and ignominy followed by obscurity. I wish him every possible business setback. I wish Melania would divorce him.

I'm not nearly as nice as you are.

But honestly, I'd be happy if he just goes away and never bothers the American people again.

as all things are in their original context.
