Re: OT OT - Our next
president
Jamok, do you really think the race is over? I recall the first
debate between Obama and Romney where Mitt won, and then Barack
turned it around in debate 2. Not that I'm saying a similar
scenario is likely here, I'm just not quite as confident as you in
the outcome. My fear is it's like Brexit where the "leave" voters
turned out to be higher than polls suggested. Perhaps they were
leaning that way but didn't want to appear dumb since all the
"experts" were saying how foolish it would be to leave? However on
election day, in a private booth, nobody looking over their
shoulder... I see a similar scenario with Trump, and it runs on
many of the same principles: immigrants bad and scary and NIMBY,
"experts" have got us where we are now, etc.
I don't particularly trust or like Hillary, but of the two
candidates she's the only one qualified. In fact, I can't think of
any time in history where there has been such a gulf between the
candidates in terms of how qualified they are to do the job. Has
there ever been?
