Fearmongering or accuracy to point out that Donald Trump could be our head of state?

It appears extremely likely that Donald Trump will win the nomination of one of our two major parties for the presidential election in November, to succeed President Obama.

Ergo, in real world terms the election will come down to Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton/Bernie Sanders.

So, knowing what we know about Donald Trump, does the prospect of him winning the Presidency over the likely Democratic nominee Clinton naturally inspire hope, fear, dread, nothing?

So, which of the following holds true for DU primary partisans?

1 vote, 0 passes \| Time left: Unlimited
	I am indifferent to the possibility of Trump defeating Clinton and becoming our head of state
	0 (0%)
	I am horrified and afraid of the possibility of Trump defeating Clinton and becoming our head of state
	1 (100%)
	I am encouraged by the possibliity of Trump defeating Clinton and becoming our head of state, this will force the DNC to the left
	0 (0%)
	0 DU members did not wish to select any of the options provided.

That makes him delusional.

Clinton is too neocon-like for comfort, and I hate what the DLC/Third Way has done to the party.

So....we'll see. I might follow the lead of the next generation, since they are stuck with a truly fucked up country because of corrupt institutions, political, religious and otherwise. A paradigm shift is essential - how we get to that is the question.

And I realize it's looking likely, but it isn't for sure yet, and you are going to set Bernine supporters off right from the start with that assumption. IMO we should all vote for whoever gets the nomination, be it Hillary or Bernie.
