A frightening situation, to be sure.

This is the first time they seem to be putting their finger on the scale for one presidential candidate with some success.

about the candidates and their proposed policies. Not that Trump has any of the latter of course.

The MSM are being very misleading and irresponsible in ascribing this populist movement only to uncontrolled bigotry, xenophobia, and nationalism. The GOP always fed and used those passions. Yes, it disappointed by not persecuting enough for the most hard-core, but! The GOP did not lose control of this bloc only, or perhaps even primarily because of that.

These populists are angry economically, as well as socially. They finally became aware that their party has betrayed and cheated them, and they are rebelling. If the dark economic forces Paul Ryan and Mike Pence represent are to have any chance of preserving what they've achieved, much less advance to their final goals, including dismantling all social programs, they must get Trump's followers back in harness.

with zero experience in managing and leading government, or even understanding its purpose.

I wish more pundits would discuss the overturning of Citizens United and other legal means for business and wealthy people to buy our democracy.

...this is the real implication, which of course will not sit well with Trump's ego. Dude has no clue what he's doing.

Hillary 2016

Every single time he is on any show.

Neither casual, duped, brainwashed, conned, fooled, or blackmailed into a relationship with the Russian Federation. Substitute witless with nitwit in describing Trump he made his choices.

It was a powerful statement.
