Polls favoured Bremain but how exactly did that go ? There's around 90 days until the election and a lot could change ... On the contrary I do not think xenophobia is a positive trait but that does not mean we should not embrace as it is extremely unbitiqous in the world. What good will ignoring the darker side do when it is the most volatile aspect of our lives ? Since then I've come to expect and accept our very scummy traits common to us like pride and greed and I'm sure most of us have experienced those two feelings ... |
Do you understand the electoral map as well? Sure there's a ways to go, but Obama never led Romney by the types of margins we are seeing here, and a lot of Trump's balleyhoed demographic appeal is fizzling, for example he is losing bad with college educated whites, which basically cancels out his lead with non-college educated whites, and he is as expected getting destroyed by the growing minority population.
If he loses a state like Florida, which has a huge Hispanic population, his path way to 270 electoral votes is basically down the toilet right there alone. George W. Bush won two terms narrowly largely because he was able to cross over and appeal to Hispanics, this is obviously not the case with Trump.
If he does not turn things around fast, a lot of Republicans who are holding their nose and "supporting" him now for the sake of party unity are going to bail out too faster than Billy Zane getting off the Titanic.
Pride and greed alone do not actually get people very far, in the long term it's usually their undoing actually. But if you want to embrace those types of ideals, great, but I'll tell you right now, that bus always drives itself off a cliff, it never takes you anywhere good.
