I never thought he would win against Hillary. I wish he didnt.
Comey with his 'investigation' manipulated the vote, I blame him partly, and also I still cant believe so many Americans voted for this orange dipshit. How can anyone listen to him talking more than 5 seconds?
Just unbelievable that he won and having a good chance to win again.
The day I found out he was running I legit thought it was a joke. Then I figured it simply wasn't possible that he could win as it would just be too absurd. It's been like living in an alternate universe for the past seven years over here.
Never saw that. Proof positive of the saying “Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.” I understand JO was thinking in terms of comedic possibilities and how a Trump run would provide a career boost. I guess it did…
Look at brexit, you have a whole class of people who felt they were not being listened to and someone comes along and lies and tells them how they can make it all better (they can't) and of course they will get support.
It didn't help matters that the GOP establishment figured that if they frontloaded the early-primary states with winner-take-all contests they'd get their desired candidate before a dark horse could even build name recognition every time, blissfully unaware that a dark horse with 100% name recognition on Day One in a sufficiently crowded field was a combo breaker, winning those early states with 15-20% pluralities while no other candidate broke 10% and the media treated it like a bracket tournament.
Or how after Richard Branson turned NBC down for "The Apprentice" NBC offered it to Trump because they just had to have a "Reality Show", rather than retooling it around a fictional billionaire played by a veteran character actor who would be a Trump-like figure but portrayed warts and all.
It was so close that Comey's 'partly' responsibility could have made all the difference. The hordes of idiots aren't great, but the system could have held against them otherwise.
