The GOP has been co-opting and embracing crazies for about 22 years now, but especially in the past 8. I hope this teaches them a lesson. The US is essentially a center-right nation. Deviate from that too much and, eventually, exactly what is now happening will happen. We need middle-of-the-road democracy and capitalism. The GOP has preached extremist policies the past 8 years and it finally blew up in their faces.

Actually it's more like shooting your horse in the head and only pausing long enough to reload.

He bragged about how he didn't prepare for it. It's over.

Based on historical data, there's no way Trump can prepare for a one on one with the average voter asking him direct questions. Answer direct questions from voters? Not possible without a wandering rant.

as opposes to Hillary who spins, lies, obfuscates, and shifts blame for anything she is asked. She is the queen of softballs. So, expect Her to be spoonfed easy questions that a 4 year old can answer, Trump on the other hand will be asked to solve Pi.

I'll have to make a run to the store tomorrow, myself. Better pick up more beer while I'm at it.

More and more, I think Hard core Trump supporters have a subconscious death wish.
The majority of Trump's voters are voting according to their race. They think Trump is going to put them "back on top" of everybody else. Sounds bizarre but they're in a daze. Trump won't bring manufacturing jobs back. The GOP controlled house won't let him do anything.
