    Yes. I'd hate to think I'm alone. I mean really hate the idea that people could support Trump.
    ...unless, of course, political ads can show that Hillary's husband had a whiff of adultery back in the 90s. That would change everything.

    Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

      True. The Clintons are such an unknown that attack ads could really define them.

          Clinton's should be bashing him over the head on this one.
          The Clintons need to play the long game on this one...let him bury himself in contradictions and sit back and smile Come the debates he will have to pick a stance or he will get buried.

                  He will only get buried if the moderators and reporters call him on it, and there has been a decisive ability so far to normalize him as if he were just another candidate. The GOP captive media will of course just validate whatever their viewers think, so as Trump becomes Generic R running to defeat Demon D they will roll over for whatever Trump wants. The mainstream media will play their usual "the truth is the average between the center and the far right" game.

                  Voters are now so walled off in their personalized fact-free safe spaces that Trump supporters will never hear the emperor has no clothes. It doesn't matter what he says. "If you can't pronounce a word, say it loudly!"

                    The moderators did that in the GOP debates (hell Megyn Kelly was considered smart for a minute for doing it) there is zero chance they wont come the general. Not because they want to expose him mind you, but to get a reaction from him

                      No, I mean I didn't understand what they even meant. I got the first section's 1st/2nd language scoring. But why is it repeated again? Do they mean "what's your ceiling for these languages"?

                      BTW, I scored as highly qualified too, but I don't believe it -- Canada is notoriously difficult to get into unless you can transition a local firm's sponsorship to a work Visa and from there go from your Canadian work tenure to an application for citizenship. They're trying to keep the wetbacks (us) out, too.

                        Hmm. OK, I can see that. Thank you, you have given me some hope.

                        I can't imagine a debate on the merits on any subject where Trump won't look like a baboon-brained circus freak compared to Hillary. She could probably even clean his clock on real estate law -- she was a corporate attorney after all. Trump can't even hook clauses together to form meaningful sentences. He rambles like somebody with a mental disorder.

                        And yet... that was ALL true during the nomination, and he won every debate except the one he skipped.

                                A BIG misunderstanding people make about Trump is applying the lessons of the primary to the general election. Trump won his nomination because he was willing to "go there" and openly appeal to racism and bigotry (amongst other things) with an electorate that by and large is now racist and bigoted (Republicans, that is). Everybody else was either trying to run as a traditional GOP stiff (Jebbers!, Kasich, Christie) or was playing catch-up as Trump lobbed bomb after bomb (Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina).

                                The general electorate is a lot more diverse and younger than the Old Country Buffet crowd that shows up in GOP primaries. Trump could very well lose the non-white vote 90-10 (this includes Asians which he also has terrible #'s with for whatever reason). He's not going to win women or young voters. There just aren't enough crabby old white guys out there to make up the difference. In short, he's screwed.
