It's to late for false modesty, TRT. You are the one who claimed that your tomes about Trump go over my head. I do not engage in false modesty. I will take credit where it is due. You were wrong about Trump being a worthy candidate and I was not. It really is that simple.

Nominating Trump made it easy for the media to "slime" Trump because Trump has slimed himself for years. Unlike Romney, McCain, and Bob Dole, Trump is running against the weakest Democratic candidate in history and he trails badly because of his own character flaws. In Trump, the media was presented with a sitting duck. Any other Republican candidate would have made a more challenging target.

You were not among those of us who warned of what a monumentally weak opponent Trump would make in the general campaign. You may continue to blame everybody but Trump for his desperate situation, but the truth is Democrats have never run any candidate besides Hillary Clinton who Trump would have stood any chance of beating. As candidates, not even Mondale, Dukakis, or McGovern were as weak. Both Trump and Hillary are products of a dumbed down electorate.

Well I'm not saying I know what a tome is, but you really aren't as skilled in sidestepping as you might think. But to indulge you for just a second before moving on to highlighting the truth again, I don't know whether you've heard or not but the election isn't quite over and it's a bit early for you to claim victory.

I have been on the media's case since I came on this forum, pointing out their methods in trying to manipulate and marginalize the citizenry. Obviously I couldn't prove what I was saying and then along came WikiLeaks and not only were the press engaged in trying to manipulate the vote, they actively colluded with the DNC. Further, they have a playbook which details methods to oversample certain groups to produce false polls. You mocked me for suggesting the polls were messed with as I recall. I don't trust the media or the polls, and I certainly am not ready to concede the election to the Dems yet. But you I believe, would rather be right, even if that meant the transformation will go forward.

You are right to say that I was never among the #NeverTrumpsters. It really is laughable to read your continuing attempts to act like you inhabit the moral and intellectual high ground as you tell me it's too late moderate my position of support for Mr Trump as if I were making a prodigal and penitent approach to your good graces. All while ignoring the gist of my factual post which was to point out there was no dodging the tsunami of lies I had predicted the media would spew out like a flood. As far as I'm concerned you're part of it as your posts on here clearly demonstrate. I have offered an alternative view for which you have gone into obit for my questioning whatever clairvoyant force you use to make all these dire predictions about Trump. I am content to wait and see what happens on Nov 8th.
