So, Donald Trump talks like Bill Clinton acts

I knew the man was a vulgarian, but jeez. Does anybody *really* think he’s even remotely Presidential?

The options suck. Trump is clearly not good leader material. He’s narcissistic to a historic degree, his relationship with honesty is tenuous at best, he’s nowhere near the businessman he claims (neither from a financial performance standpoint, where he would have done better by simply dumping his initial millions into the market, nor from a what-he-claims-to-be standpoint, where he’s just a promoter, not a “builder”), he’s a scumbag, he’s historically been a supporter and funder of leftist causes, he’s waaaaaaaay more fond of Vladimir Putin than is seemly, he’s a braggart and a blowhard, and he just doesn’t seem that damn smart. And now he’s on tape expressing views that are low, even by his previous standards. Republican politicians who had previously endorsed him are bailing. I see no way possible for the man to win… his chances were dubious before, but now… what woman would vote for him?

And of course, the other option is the wholly unsupportable Hillary Clinton. Before, it was “yeah, Trump sucks but I guess I’ll hold my nose and vote for him because bad as he is he’s better than Hillary,” but now he has demonstrated not only Lyndon Baines Johnson-level standards but the bad judgement that puts him on the same low, low, LOW level as Hillary.

Well… poop.

So, now what? Can the Republicans ditch Trump and replace him with someone better? Obviously they can, but is it too late to get the new guy on the ballot? The obvious choice is Pence, since he’s right there. Maybe Romney. At this stage I doubt that if Abe Lincoln came back to life even he couldn’t get elected as a republican at this stage, given the damage Trump has done to he brand. But having a quality candidate, or at least an inoffensive one, might bring out enough Republican voters to at least minimize the damage in House and Senate races.
