Trump has utterly destroyed any amount of grace that was left in politics.
Star Wars forever changed blockbuster film effects, with following films needing to outdo it for attention.
Trump Wars, likewise, has affected political engagement forever.
The Trump lesson is that you need to be bombastic, in order to stand out and engage followers.
A very bad precedent has been set.
well, we can only hope that Trump is thoroughly trounced in the popular vote--as it looks like the EC will deliver its own thorough beatdown for him. A popular vote landslide should deliver enough of a message to the GOP that this kind of nonsense simply isn't tolerable outside the bubble of their internal party shitshow that was the GOP primary. Trump won there, obviously, but a general election beatdown would be a message that there is a very real problem concerning the disconnect between the GOP and the country as a whole.
as bad as the movie Anchorman 2 was, it was a dead on parody of the first days of the 24 hour news cycle and how mind numblingly inane it is/was/will always be24 hour news das been dumbing down people since it's inception. It's only after decades of stupification that Trump was able to run for office and not be laughed off the stage.

Wait for 2020.The republicans had a bunch of awful candidates. At least they didn't end up with cruz.
I can't believe how the establishment is rallying behind Trump at this late hour in an attempt to salvage their race for the White House. Anything goes I suppose no matter how egregious it might be.
Well I was in this thread supporting Trump and if you think you were sad before now you can be overjoyed Trump will do great work. The public like me has come out of hiding and spoken during the election, now Trump will be President. Just remember all of you that I spoke to, be nice and stay smart.Trump may be the symptom and not the cause, but he has shown that the bravado bs rhetoric sprinkled with lies, empty promises, and exaggerations works. The biggest loudmouth liar wins the primary. Has anybody seen the republican primaries this year? Total shitshow completely devoid of reality even if you pretend Trump wasn't there. I expect the primaries to get even worse making it practically impossible for any sane candidate to win. If republican establishment has any sort of sense they will however see that a candidate like this is totally unelectable, so what I think is going to happen is that the new standard for primaries will be to nominate the craziest loon possible that is still electable in the general election. Basically we'll have the continued race to the bottom. Yeah... I'm getting sad just writing this.

Pence/Cruz 2020?Wait for 2020.
This forum is mostly city slickers who are educated.This forum was heavily leaning Clinton, so QQ.
You guys really love your huffington post news articles, polls, op-eds and everything else that "must be true because it was on the internet"
Really whats happened is that in order to he hip and with it MSM has adopted the same reporting style as the internet and we all know how reliable the internet is when you need the truth. There is a reason you still can't cite wikipedia.
When politicians compete a win is a win throughout the USA history. In life there is winning and loosing that is just the way it is.Not sure I'd brag about that "come out of hiding". It was a victory, but a narrow one.
