Well, when all things are considered american style democracy wouldn't' be much to mourn.

The assholes of american needed a candidate and now they have Trump. A Hillary presidency just means more of the same crap we have now. The continuation of a two class system in America where the wealthy continue to shamelessly strip the wealth from the lower classes. Not much wealth left.

What might the asshole candidate do about this?

What do you think that's all about?

Coincidence?
Would a significant portion of the NFL audience watch a debate if a game wasn't on the boob tube?

That was a gaffe.

He misspoke.

Whether you agree with them or not, his trade and immigration policies are obviously designed to bring back good paying jobs to the US and relieve American workers from having to compete for jobs with illegal immigrants that are willing to work for less.

I think that's a legitimate concern, yes.

At any rate, I think that what Trump is doing is letting the Clinton machine know that they aren't going to get away with pushing him around like they did Bernie Sanders.

Except Clinton machine has $$$ to Trump's $ and the money isn't rolling in. I also suspect that Trump is not as rich as he claims or unwilling to fund his campaign to the extent it takes to finance an election for POTUS.

Trump will be fine.

He knows how to get the most bang for his buck.

During the primary season he spent about $5 per every vote he got.

Hillary spent $14.

I did a search on spending per vote and that's what came up.

It's numbers Dude, if you can find another source for how much each candidate spent per vote I'd love to see it.
