The next leader of the free world? Don't forget to vote....




Suggesting that these candidates will actually be their party's nominee may be the kiss of death for their respective campaigns.  However, it would be an interesting race don't ya think?

Donald Trump’s distinctive rhetorical style — think of a drunk with a bullhorn reading aloud James Joyce’s “Finnegans Wake” under water — poses an almost insuperable challenge to people whose painful duty is to try to extract clarity from his effusions. For example, on Friday, during a long stream of semi-consciousness in Fort Worth, this man who as president would nominate members of the federal judiciary vowed to “open up” libel laws to make it easier to sue — to intimidate and punish — people who write “negative” things. Well.

Trump

Quoting from the New York Times....

The tragedy of the 2016 campaign is that Trump has mobilized a constituency with legitimate grievances on a fool's errand. 

If he is shoved out of the field somehow, his supporters will remain bitter and enraged, convinced that a self-serving and malign elite defeated their leader.
