If you want to see quite the extent to which Donald Trump's supporters are in a world of their own, then consider that they prize the endorsement of the National Rifle Association.
For being disliked by everyone who was not in it, the NRA now rivals the Ku Klux Klan.
No Presidential candidate whom it has even vaguely supported has been elected in 12 years. And counting.
Like the not unrelated practice of capital punishment in the United States, the American thing with guns is on the way out. That is just a fact.
And Trump is a rich boy draft dodger.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. To this day, he can't tell you which foot had the problem.
DeleteThe gun lobby is small and getting smaller but they have guns. Terrorists, basically. You are right, nobody else has any time for them, they rule by fear.
ReplyDeleteOnly Clinton can save the NRA, she's the only Dem that Trump could beat.
ReplyDeleteQuite. Although one could argue just as forcefully that only he could be beaten by her. Her nomination, which is far from assured, would result in quite the unpopularity contest.
DeleteThe NRA is as bad as the so-called pro-life organizations, endorsing any Republican because he is a Republican. If anything a real Second Amendment organization would have endorsed Sanders, real pro-lifers would have endorsed nobody in decades and certainly nobody this year.
ReplyDeleteThe American pro-life organisations have played no small part in bringing America to this pass. They need to be answerable to it.
DeleteWhatever Sanders's views on abortion, there would be less of it under his economic arrangements. Nor is he in favour of every other way of killing people ever devised, as, for example, Ted Cruz is. Clinton and Trump are, of course, in favour of every such way, including abortion.
Sanders has a D- rating from the NRA. Don't believe the Clintons' lies.
