Grappling right now with whether it is more sad or funny that there may very well be a superpac in the making as I write this- “Idiots for Trump”

ha ha ha…Trump is going to be President. I think liberals are underestimating the willingness of Americans to vote for Trump out of spite.
or out of stupidity . . . . unfortunately, he excites a large number of the disenchanted, as well as the far-right, the religious right, the ‘Reagan Democrats,’ the blue-collar vote who are unhappy with the status quo, or companies like Carrier dumping 1400 indianapolis employees to go to Mexico, etc.

Don’t forget the white supremacists who “don’t want no Cuban” president, the white nationalists, the neo-Nazis, skinheads, the anti-Popes, anti-Constitution and anti-American values… the know-nothings. That said we are talking at most of a majority of the one-third or so of American voters who are registered Republicans.
There is a reason Las Vegas betting odds still have Trump with just one-fourth to one-third of Hillary’s chances of being president. Mostly only high information voters wager money (though it is true some will wager on anything even if they know little about it) on this. So this is probably a better measure of what will happen than polls and pundits.
