Failure of careerism
Convective thought as I watch the endless parade of politicians and countries loudly disowning and banishing Trump.
This isn't normal behavior among the powerful. Normally countries and politicians are cautious when dealing with people who may become their boss. These idiots are ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT that Trump couldn't POSSIBLY get elected, so they feel free to create grudges.
A few pundits seem to be catching on, dimly starting to realize just how delusional they've been, how utterly removed from the reality of normal Americans. Until now they've always managed to halt populists and nationalists at the starting gate. Ross Perot got slightly past the gate, but the Bush family neutered him with some weird stuff about their daughter's wedding, and Perot gave way to the neutering. Trump hasn't consented to be fixed, and (so far!) shows no signs that he ever will.
If he does get elected, there will be a WHOLE BUNCH of Repooflican Congressmonsters, and a WHOLE BUNCH of countries, who find they need something from a President. They will be faced with a President who holds grudges and remembers insults.
Could get interesting.
