I loved this summary. I agree with every word of it.

I really don't know what you mean by "he is right in what he says." He is wrong on trade, arguably (as we have done many times) wrong on immigration, wrong on the free market (he believes in far too many government interventions to "help" jobs, businesses, manufacturing, etc), and wrong or mute on so many other issues.
The only actual solutions he has proposed are proven failures in the past (tariffs, flat taxes, subsidies, a wall, etc), and the rest of him is just a cult of personality. It's the same thing as what happened in 2008 with Obama. Instead of "hope and change" it's "courage and resolve." What do any of those actually mean? Whatever the particular audience wants them to mean.

He has run a campaign of fear (mostly of foreigners), anger, and ignorance. The majority of the things that he is correct on are only the most basic things that no serious candidate ever gets wrong. To me that isn't much to brag about.

He is quite possibly the worst candidate ever to run for a major party, certainly in recent history, and he is absolutely running the worst campaign in recent history.

"The attraction of Hillary is that people want to attach themselves to her crooked coat tails and get freebies like she has. "
This is true in the world of politicians and their favors, but the average person is not at all attracted to the idea of her being president. She's just the intersection of whats kind-of-okay to half the population.

"particularly with the buffoon Johnson out there giggling and laughing at his town hall appearances."
I find the way the pitch of his voice changes grating, but I tell myself this is a non-expert politician. He's not good at being kind-of-sort-of okay to half the population. Maybe that means he can't win. I still hope for some kind of scandal or other surprise that somehow leads to him being president.

"Except for the rigged system, Sanders would have been the democratic candidate"
His supporters certainly claim that, but my thought is most Democrats are moderates. I'm sort-of in this group. I say if we're not going go down a path of reducing gov't intrusiveness and spending, let's at least have gov't be responsible and stable. This leads us to support Clinton, but we're not as vocal as Sanders supporters.

"I agree with Trump that we need to make america great AGAIN, cause its fallen a LOT."
This line could mean anything to anyone. If I believed it, I would think it mean make the fed gov't small again. It can mean anything. It means nothing to me because I reject the premise that America is not great. Gov't got bigger in the last 100 years, but not so much as most other industrialized countries. Many new inventions that drive the world economy come from America. Violent crime, bigotry, lack of opportunity, difficulty in getting out dissenting ideas--- they're all in a rapid decline. America kicks ass. So many people in the world live in places where opportunities are rare and they're afraid to criticize the gov't. Here a poor person can get an honest job with job training, make more money, pay lower taxes than in many other countries, and condemn gov't officials without fear. It's just amazingly good. It needs to keep improving, and that comes from positive action, not whining about its failings. When I talk about the country technically, I call it United States. America is a nickname that to me means the greatness.

The problem is that in this culture at this time, there are many substitutes that will carry on the statist traditions in her absence. I think her supporters actually like that she is crooked. They just want to attach themselves to her coat tails and go along for the ride

Doubt there is anyone who finds her attractive enough. ;^)

Even though its politically incorrect, I would NOT be upset if someone OFFED Hillary. She is one evil witch.

in the event she does win I expect revolution!

Maybe someone will do us all a favor and take her OUT before she wins

The attraction of Hillary is that people want to attach themselves to her crooked coat tails and get freebies like she has. Thats why they dont care about her crooked activities- they actually respect them and want to be a part of them.

The libertarians would be preferable by far, but they have NO chance to get votes, particularly with the buffoon Johnson out there giggling and laughing at his town hall appearances.

Except for the rigged system, Sanders would have been the democratic candidate, and probably won the election. This is a sad state of affairs- a true evil socialist nearly winning presidency of the once great country.

I agree with Trump that we need to make america great AGAIN, cause its fallen a LOT. I think he can slow down the demise of the USA, but certainly not stop it intellectually. Given it will be Hillary OR Trump, I choose trump. Third parties have no shot at all.

Yes. For more on this I highly recommend watching Dinesh D'Souza's new movie "Hillary's America" which goes into depth about the historical and ongoing racism of the Democratic Party.

exactly !!! The more Trump is pounded on, the more I want him to win. The establishment is
indeed afraid of what he is bringing up, and they should be. The system is crooked, led by Hillary and her "speaking engagement fees". It IS pay for play.

Because the libs long ago inculcated Lenin's promise: "Give me your children and in four years the seeds I have sown will never be uprooted."
Accordingly, while capitalists were busily attending to wealth creation and "stuff" acquisition, Marxists were busy infiltrating their schools.

Trump is basically right in what he says. He is exposing the whole system, and if not elected, no one will ever do it again. The establishment just pounds on him so much I am surprised he even stays in the race. I can think of anyone else who would stand up the way he has. He really does deserve the purple heart for that.

And they've been working on the fraud logistics for four years. Interesting scenario question: Hildebeast wins, evidence (like the emails and Foundation information) starts to grow in the next few months, fraud is proven. What then?

But that would be a first amendment violation. they would have to say nothing in order NOT to be felons.

black votes matter I guess. Its not black "lives" at all.

The fix IS in. No matter what comes out that she has done illegally, the media just gives her a free pass. Not to mention the democratic white house that has agreed NOT to charge her with anything, no matter what.

IMO with Trump as the GOP nominee she doesn't even have to steal it

Every professional politician, regardless of party, must see to it that everything possible, legal or not, is done to make sure Hillary wins. Once an outsider gets behind the curtain the jig will be up. Everyone's dirt is covered up by the dirty but an innocent will open the curtain and decades of filth will be out.

+1 Not just for thinking like I do but beating me to it.

If you want to follow the Democrats' line when they lost in 2004 you a) deny the facts and say if Bush actually lost and b) say Kerry would have won be a wide enough margin to overcome the cheating if the Democratic part "framed" issues right. It's not that people don't want laundry list of little problems gov't offers to help with, they says, it's just how your market those ideas.

I think Clinton will win because her ideas are the ones that most people think are tolerable. Trump's ideas are popular with a small segment and offensive to more than half the people. In my lifetime I've seen this Long Tail Phenomenon take hold. Not long ago a store shelf only held space for products that most people found acceptable. There were a few TV channels that ran programming acceptable to a broad audience. It's completely shifted. Now I can buy products or TV shows that appeal to only a few people in each market, not enough to justify shelf space or airwaves, but more than enough to sell online. We've gotten used to not having to pick the kind-of-sort-of tolerable option b/c there are only two options. That's what we have in national politics though.

I'd like to think Gary Johnson is right that the US is predominately moderate libertarian but doesn't know it. But I see a fraction of people wanting Jill Stein, a fraction wanting Johnson, and an equally small fraction wanting Trump. But we don't get to choose down the long tail. So we get kind-of-sort-of-okay-I-guess.

Because the "fix is in".

Do not pass GO!...go straight to Gitmo.

Off to a French styled guillotine with them...

Oh, she'll win...or else.
