Jester,

Sorry - I didn't read your earlier post before I read your later one. You're right, of course - electing Trump would be an egregious disaster. Electing Hilary will be electing another pond-scum president, albeit with a ton of experience, and a much less virulent character disorder than Trump. (But then again, who doesn't?) 

But whether I vote or not, I promise you that Trump can't win. The Brexit vote was between 2 choices that were at least in the same Universe. Trump is from another dimension in his entirety, and will simply become more unglued by the very factors you cite, such as Hilary having his number and rattling his cage.  So today he lashes out at his own party. (Well, it's not really his, he is a usurper.)   I think the chances are great that he alienates all of his political sources of support before this is all over. (Christie, Guiliani, Pence have all made some reprimands - and these are his friends for chrisakes.)

America is a wacko country. Trump is a wacko man. But it's not a good enough fit to elect him. You are right - he is not a flexible enough to recognize his defects and reign them in. The more reactive he is, rather than giving thoughtful responses, the more political people he will alienate, until he's alone in his battle. He's not Hitler. More like an immature, belligerant Bozo the clown. Treat it as a form of entertainment. I promise you won't be sorry.

Even the news sources and sites that are for him are starting to publish negative stories. Not a good omen for him.
