Hats Off to the GOP!!!
We Democrats owe you a debt of gratitude. Never before has one party done so much to ensure that their opponents will win an election in a landslide.
In the past year and a half, you GOPers have confirmed, repeatedly and unabashedly, that you are the party of hypocrisy, deceit, misrepresentation of the facts, and out-and-out lies. Your “base” has now shown itself to be comprised of bigots, racists, misogynists, xenophobes – and, above all else, the most ill-informed, ill-educated, dumbasses the world has ever seen.
While still holding yourselves out as the party of “good Christian family values”, you nominated Donald Trump, a candidate who brags about grabbing women’s genitals, who invites men to refer to his own daughter as a “piece of ass”, whose foundation has collected monies for charitable purposes and spent it on himself and his business enterprises, who hasn’t paid federal income taxes for almost two decades, and who has cheated hard-working people out of their money by refusing to honour his debts.
In addition, your candidate has insulted every demographic you need to win an election – from minorities, to immigrants, to veterans, to women, to the disabled, as well as those of certain ethnic origins and those of certain religious faiths. He is also facing multiple lawsuits, including allegations of the rape of a minor, and his scam of a “university” that has bilked our fellow citizens out of their savings.
But wait – that’s not all, not by a long-shot. The man you chose as the standard-bearer of your party has demonstrated, time and again, that he knows absolutely nothing about how our government works, nothing about foreign affairs, nothing about the economy, the military, the tax system, the Constitution, reducing the deficit, creating jobs, or assisting those in need of affordable healthcare.
As though the aforementioned wasn’t enough, your candidate never fails to be abrasive, demeaning, and insufferably self-serving. He has lied so often, even devoted fact-checkers can’t keep up with his never-ending spew of “facts” he literally pulls out of his own ass on a daily basis – which are invariably (and somewhat laughingly) debunked.
In your desperation to support a candidate you know to be unfit for the position of dog-catcher in some remote town no one has ever heard of – no less the presidency of the United States – you have abandoned all pretence of having any ethics, any morals, any honesty, and any concern for the well-being of our country or its citizens.
This has been the election cycle of a lifetime. We sincerely thank you for removing your masks (or hooded white sheets, as the case may be), and putting your full support behind a candidate who represents everything you have heretofore condemned. We thank you for finally exposing what you are as a political entity, how low you are willing to sink, and how hypocritical you are capable of being after decades of declaring yourselves to be honest representatives of Christian principles and wholesome family values.
We, as Democrats, cannot thank you enough for finally outing yourselves, and for displaying your complete disregard for everything you have claimed to stand for. Your better-late-than-never honesty has been invaluable in ensuring Hillary Clinton’s victory in November.
Although we could have done it without your help, we are grateful for your assistance (albeit unintended) in demonstrating just how incompetent, morally corrupt, and completely vacuous your party and its members are.
A year from now, President Hillary Rodham Clinton will be a reality. And a year from now, Donald Trump will be the guy no one will ever admit to having ever supported, no less voted for.
Your days of being thought of as the party of moral rectitude are finally over. By your own words, American voters now know who you are. There’s no coming back from that; there is no unseeing what has been seen, there is no unhearing what has been heard.
So goodbye, Republicans – and thanks for everything! We sincerely appreciate your efforts, however unintended, in electing HRC to the presidency!

... a 
that's kicking the GOP's ass.
Dems are now upping their campaign contributions, along with committing more hours to phone-banking, canvassing, and other GOTV efforts.
And speculating about where Bernie would or wouldn't be at this point is absolutely meaningless.
... that's okay.
But hey, thanks for the offer! I'm sure your explanation would have been - uh - interesting.
... that there should be a special shout-out to Comey - who has galvanized HRC supporters to donate MORE and commit to MORE hours of canvassing and phone banking, along with spurring fence-sitters to finally VOTE for the candidate who is being maligned not by fact, but by vague innuendo.
So here's a to Mr. Comey for triggering renewed enthusiasm for electing Hillary!!!
Donald Trump’s offer of $10,000 and the use of his private jet couldn’t turn a porn star into a prostitute.
Jessica Drake — whose credits include “Sex for Sale” and “Think Pink” — claims she rejected the billionaire’s crude come-ons during a 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif.
“This is not acceptable behavior for anyone — much less a presidential candidate,” the adult film star said ........
..... Trump allowed the attendees to do whatever drugs they wanted, the photographer said. As guests partied hard on coke and top-shelf liquor, the mogul would stroll from room to room and hook up with girls.
“He'd wander off with a couple girls. I saw him. He was getting laid like crazy," the photographer said. "Trump was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total f---ing beast.” .....
Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged that he ‘grabbed my butt’ during a photo shoot

Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.
“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen said, according to a translation provided by The Telegraph. “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.
“I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What is happening?’”
Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania, whom he had married the year before.
“Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger,” Laaksonen said. “It left me disgusted.”

May have permission to do a video voiceover of this magnificent piece of prose.
Brilliant as usual, Nance. Thank you! 
Thank you, Nance!
The number of enthusiastic Trump supporters in the Republican Party will be equivalent the number of fervent Nazis found in Germany in 1946.
("Who? Me? Perish the thought!"
And, you are not even exaggerating one teeny tiny bit about anything!
I cannot wait until we don't have to see his uglyass face all over the place!
Thank you, Nance!
