Let’s Not Get Ahead of Ourselves
Things look a little better post-debate. Donald Trump looked and sounded like the dopey, narcissistic racist we all know and hate. Thank you, Donald, for giving us this moment of joy, watching you melt under the world’s bright lights. The only people not smiling were our nation’s enemies and a lot of not-so-bright Foxified racists.
There is one thing, though, that many of my fellow “you-haters” seem to forget, so I am here to remind them: Never count Donald Trump out. He may have been kicked around the schoolyard by the smaller and more civil female vice president, but it does not mean that he will roll over. Donald Trump has no respect for anyone, let alone himself, and so we can’t think that he will suddenly begin to get some perspective on how horrific and stupid he really is. Donald Trump does not reflect, he just bounces from attack to attack like an out-of-control bumper car in a carnival slamming everything that gets near him.
Trump is down, but he is not out, and we all need to take a deep breath and remember this. The polls are showing that Kamala Harris kicked his ass, with even Trump supporters agreeing with the assessment. The vice president’s margin of victory was larger than that of Joe Biden in 2020 and Hillary Clinton in 2016.
