Voter decisions since 1980 have led us to this point. The politics of racial resentment and personal destruction has by and large workers. And I can recount so many ways the voters have essentially screwed themselves starting with Reagan. And I can count so many way voters have allowed themselves to be manipulated to literally "fuck" themselves. Sorry to put it that way but a lot of voters have voted in ways that are just completely suicidal.

And what I have just said is why I am so concerned about Trump or actually any other GOP presidential candidate who are really very much the same as Trump. Any one of them will be a complete disaster.

And I can also point out in many ways how the Democrats have helped the GOP.
