Not a magic man

There seems to be this myth out there that Donald Trump has tapped into some sort of mystical energy with American voters and will therefore be a force to be reckoned with this November.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Donald Trump has not tapped into Americans--he has tapped into the republican base.  And despite their waving their "Silent Majority" signs at Trump's rallies, the truth is they are an abrasive minority that turn off most Americans and do not possess near enough votes to give Trump a chance in hell this November.  Trump is appealing to republicans and right leaning independents--I have yet to see a single Democrat come out for Trump or any data that shows his appeal is to Democrats or left leaning independents.  Or anything close to the attraction some moderate republicans had for Bernie Sanders, for that matter.

Yes, Hillary Clinton could lose this election--if she mails it in and thinks she is simply going to be anointed the next President of the United States.  Since she's already running ads against Trump and takes every opportunity to criticize the man and his "ideas" I sincerely doubt this will be the case.

Trump is the Bearded Lady or the Three Legged Man at old freak shows--nothing more than a novelty act.

Peace,
