Hell I am sure half of you can stay home on election day because you know how great it is and all that.

If a candidate is doing well or is at least still viable, you don't see headlines asking if it is time to panic or that 70% of your party wants a new candidate. In relative terms, the election is getting pretty close. Trump is been running for 14 months and hasn't turned it around yet. I highly doubt in that in the final stretch of the campaign that he will suddenly transform into a whole new person and come roaring back.

We still have a democracy. They're welcome to get a better slate of candidates for the next election cycle. They aren't entitled to win every election.

the hope they have for winning the white house, for starters -- remember when rmoney was baffled when he lost? they all thought they had it in the bag and it wasn't even close.

but more important, the illusion they've maintained ever since nixon's southern strategy, that they could consistently appeal to the bigots for their votes and their money, and consistently win the bigots' votes and money, without somehow being the party of bigotry.

they dressed it in a thin veil of deniability, and trump came along an inadvertently pointed out that the emperor had no clothes.
