#2 Be pretty hypocritical of him to do otherwise, given how he was crammed down GOPers throats by the establishment, when it was "his turn".

He's blowing senate race any way, may as well tie onto the boat anchor so he can blame his loss on Trump's landslide loss instead of himself. Unless Hillary gets indicted somehow.

Nyguard,

You can say that again. Friday McCain was in full rant about the damage Trump was going to do to him, and 72 hours later he says, "Nah, just kidding." Interesting times...

#4 So all this time I've been assuming that Trump supporters were mistaking him for a blank slate and simply projecting their wish list onto someone who is in reality a lifelong liberal democrat.

Now I wonder if the real story is even more horrifying. Maybe the real Trump is exactly what these people want.

#5 It took me a while to recognize Trump's presentation strategy as a caricature of white, middle-class values, but they speak strongly. I'm just afraid that a vote for Trump will not be a vote against Hilarity.

#6 I think you have guessed correctly, #4. Behold the bitter fruit of the long march through the institutions.

I am glad that I am old, and leave no children to endure the coming darkness

#7 The man promises to stop America's stint as "World Policeman". One'd think it would be enough for you people.

#9 Look, my friends, if Trump gets through his first term and the economy is still in "recovery" and there has been no progress on the wall and terror attacks are still taking place in this country we must then reassess.

But at this point our choice is between Trump and Hildebeest. Before then we had a bunch of so-called conservatives who sounded a lot like Hildebeest. What do you want? Bush? Cruz? Reagan? Ain't gonna happen.

#10 "What do you want? Bush? Cruz? Reagan? Ain't gonna happen."

I really want Reagan, but that definitely ain't gonna happen, #9 EU. :-(

#11 Undead Zombie Reagan would rock. Talk about striking fear in the hearts of your enemies! Also, it would give the media something else to mock him for.
