It's nice to see you all have finally caught up with me!

I've been giddy about tomorrow since the bus tape came out! For the most part, every day since has been like Christmas. I mean, if you wanna see the GOP in ruins, this douchebag has been the gift that keeps on giving.

Now I've always been a glass-is-half-full kinda dude. But some of you... Some of you are just THE GLASS IS BROKEN AND ON FIRE! kinda people. Goddamn buzzkills. But I haven't seen DU like this since before the primaries. The unity and camaraderie on display is a beautiful thing on the Eve of a beautiful moment.

Welcome back DU!

I guess that's fair. I won't ask for more than that. It's just sooooo good to see everyone on the board in high spirits for a change...

This was over before the primaries ended. When Jeb and Kasich were pushed out it was over. The rest of the field was horribly flawed and the demographics were on our side.


It's like no one paid attention to the report the Republicans did on themselves in 2012. I would argue they predicted this then. Almost the entire field they had amplified the problems they have nationally and Trump was probably the worst of them all.

The tape almost made it a complete destruction and if not for comey I think this thing might have approached the 400 neighborhood the way they are closing.

As many of us here, this atheist was praying Trump would be the nominee. But as the race has gone on I've become, as I stated before, giddy. He has ripped the mask off the ugliness that is the GOP. I mean, look at this list:
-GOP not waging war on women... WRONG
-GOP the party of Gawd... WRONG
-GOP the party of family values... WRONG
-GOP strong on national security.... WRONG
-GOP big tent party, inclusive...... WRONG
-GOP fiscally conservative...... WRONG
-GOP the adults in the room(ask David Brooks)... WRONG
And it goes on, and on, and on. And it's being seen by an entire generation that's coming to age, politically speaking. He has set most of a generation on the path to thecDemocratic party and has awoken an electoral Juggernaut in regard to the Latinos.

Don't get me wrong, this election has been absolutely revolting. I'm ashamed that this man is being supported by any American. But, I figured throwing off the GOP yolk would be an ugly spectacle. Unfortunately, in that respect, I was right.

As disgusting as this was on so many levels the damage done to the GOP is delicious.

Real long term damage.

As you said they have been exposed to a generation.
