Yes, Trump is a real possibility. We were all remiss in thinking that it was all a big joke, and now the joke is on us. I do not think there is a viable candidate at this time who can take the GOP nomination.

I say go for it, even for a few months! I managed to have about 6 weeks of magenta hair and it was *magical*. Little girls had the cutest reactions- “mummy, that lady has pink hair! Is she a princess?”
Just to get a tad pedantic and answer this it is worth stepping back and explaining what’s really happening here. The Republicans and the Dems, by virtue of how they’ve done in prior election cycles, have an automatic line for their nominee in every state for the Presidential election. That’s why the nomination is a)…
Yeah, it’s probably going to happen. Outside of gawker type websites the man is pretty loved in our country. A lot of polls systemically avoid Trump supporters so the numbers seem skewed at the moment, but I feel like the general consensus coast to coast is that he will be our [great] president.
Dyed my hair blonde in anticipation of dyeing it all sorts of crazy colours during law school...then the interviews, video interviews, open days at firms started and now I suspect I’ve missed my chance for funky silver-lavender forever. :-(
The republicans hate him, the left hates him. The people that love, love, love him may not, for various reasons, actually be able to vote. The poorer you are, the less educated you are, the more likely that you would vote for Trump. Then you have to think about how much less stability these particular Americans have.…
It will be hard but not impossible for the GoP to avoid nominating him. Depends how many of the remaining winner-take-all states he wins. The good news is he’s actually a weaker general election candidate than Cruz.
In the “May you live in interesting times” sense.
Trump will very likely get the morally bankrupt nomination of the GOP. Then either Hillary (more likely), or Bernie, will win the presidency. Trump is Mitt-2012 with rich-bastard-supporters replaced with idiot-bastard-supporters. Beyond that, if we’re lucky, the reaction to Trump might even return a couple more…
Liberal wet dream: Trump is denied the nomination and forms a third party ticket that is joined by a ton of downballot politicians for the House and Senate.
Getting the nomination is almost a given for Trump, at this point. The possibility of someone else getting the nomination at a brokered convention is almost zero if Trump has a majority of the delegates. You’ve seen in recent weeks how members of the GOP have gutlessly united behind Trump. That will continue as his…
No. The numbers don’t work out for a Trump presidency. Unless you mean a Trump republican nom. Yes, that would happen but I’m guessing there will be a brokered convention where he gets blocked and subsequent major turmoil in the Repub party.
It is genuinely like a horrific car crash that you just can’t look away from.
Actually, I’m not that surprised he has. The right has been using rhetoric that has made people like Trump supporters so blindly angry. But their mistake was thinking that the ignorant people that they have instilled all this fear and hatred in would stay loyal to their low-key racism (and every other ism), but…
I just read he does not have the Mormon vote, which has been a very consistent vote for Republicans in the general. Also, he might have the independent vote, but that doesn’t mean anything without the entirety of your base. I think in Ohio, a major swing state, something like 40% of Republicans voting in the primary…
But in this case the VP will be very important as I cant see Trump lasting out the 4 years.
If he doesn’t get a majority of delegates the party could still deny him the nomination but that is dangerous for the party too. They may be scared of losing all the Trump supporters. I would say it’s a real possibility that he gets the nomination. I would say it’s unlikely but not impossible for him to become…
Well, the bonkers hair color thing seems to be getting really mainstream lately, kinda like tattoos have done in the last generation? So I’m hopeful that it won’t be long before people see green hair as just another style choice, like a green foulard tie or green suede heels, rather than “weird, a distraction, and the…
See, and I find that so frustrating. Like it’s fine for attorneys to be total clotheshorses and way into fashion/style, but only a particular KIND of style? Why do people seem to be convinced that an unusual hair color must necessarily mean that the stereotypes associated with same are your primary or only personal…
One of the serviceable cookbooks on my shelf is Graham Kerr’s Kitchen (1994). It’s not for everyone, so take a look at it before buying. It is, however, gentle to the cooking novice and easy to follow. It helped my confidence in the kitchen.
