Here is my prediction; Hillary
Clinton will win the presidential election. Presently, when you add all
of States that are solidly and leaning toward her, she will get 273 electoral
votes. However, that leaves the battleground states of Florida, Iowa, Nevada,
North Carolina, and Ohio. I would guess that Florida, North Carolina, and
Ohio will go to Clinton. Further, I would put some money on Arizona
and/or Georgia also going her way, which totals 351. That means that the
Donald will garner 187. This creates the meltdown of the Donald.
The Donald's meltdown started
during the Republican Convention but intensified after the Democratic
Convention and continues to this day. The question that you should be
asking is why is the meltdown occurring in the first place? Why is the
Donald going to lose the election in a landslide? Basically, there are
two general reasons: the election will be rigged or that the Donald is doing it
to the Donald.
I wrote this essay prior to Time Magazine publishing date of Inside Donald Trump's Meltdown. However,
when I saw the cover of Time on the
Internet before the publication date, the drawing described perfectly the
Donald. These are the 10-reasons that I believe that the Donald is
melting down.
Narcissism. According to
Greek mythology, Narcissus was infatuated with his own good looks. The
goddess, Nemesis, took Narcissus to a large pool of water where he saw his
reflection in the water. He didn't realize that it was merely his
reflection and spent the rest of his life looking at himself. Narcissus
and the Donald are clones.
My grandmother used to warn my
brothers and me to avoid hubris. She would say, "I love me; I think I'm
grand, when I go to heaven, I hold my hand." The Donald would have
benefitted if he knew either the Greek mythology or what my grandmother used to
say.
Windbag. The Donald is a
windbag. He is always talking even when what he says is either wrong
and/or doesn't make sense.
When the Donald and I were
growing up back in the early 60s, the song, Blowin'
In the Wind, was quite popular. He should have listened to
the words.
"Blowin' In The Wind"
How many roads must a man walk
down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove
sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the
cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin'
in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the
wind.
Yes, and how many years can a
mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some
people exist
Before they're allowed to be
free?
Yes, and how many times can a man
turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't
see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin'
in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the
wind.
Yes, and how many times must a
man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one
man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it
take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin'
in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the
wind.
Joan Baez affirms that the answer
is blowin' in the wind. "Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
/ And pretend that he just doesn't see? / The answer, my friend, is blowin' in
the wind / The answer is blowin' in the wind." Perhaps, the Donald should
sing along with Baez and then pivot.
Arrogant. Arrogant comes
from the Latin arrogantem, which means
assuming, bumptious, presumptuous, imperious overbearing, or insolent.
The Donald is arrogant due to his feeling inferior, not because he is great.
Egotistical. I would like
to see a word study of the Donald's use of the pronouns: I, me, or mine.
The Donald can essentially do it all. The Donald will stop ISIS as soon
as he gets elected and turn the country and the world around.
Liar. Pulitzer prize
winning, PolitiFact did some fact
checking of many of the Donald's statements. These are the results.
True 4%
Mostly True 11%
Half True 15%
Mostly False 15%
False 36%
Pants on Fire 42%
Sexist. This is what he said
about his daughter, Ivanka.
This is the Donald demonstrating
vulgar sexism.
Disagreeable. The Donald
claims that everyone loves him like women and his African Americans. No,
Donald, you are the most disagreeable person to many, including women and
blacks. Look at the polls.
Never do I quote George Will in
any of my essays. Politically, we are polar opposites. However, this article is
an exception. This is what Will wrote in the Washington Post.
If you look beyond Donald Trump's
comprehensive unpleasantness — is there a disagreeable human trait he
does not have? — you might see
this: He is a fundamentally sad figure. His compulsive boasting is evidence of
insecurity. His unassuageable neediness suggests an aching hunger for others'
approval to ratify his self-admiration. His incessant announcements of his
self-esteem indicate that he is not self-persuaded. Now, panting with a puppy's
insatiable eagerness to be petted, Trump has reveled in the approval of
Vladimir Putin, murderer and war criminal. (washingtonpost.com)
Xenophobic. The
Donald has problems with Mexicans and Muslims. This is about Mexicans.
The Donald's assumption about the
black vote is based upon getting elected for his first term in a couple of
months and that he isn't viewed by blacks as a racist.
Finally, the Donald is in a
Catch-22 situation. His inner circle, in an attempt to get and keep on
the script, is using teleprompters when he has a speech to give. When he
uses it, it forces him to stay on message. However, when he reverts to
the old Donald, which is off the cuff, he wanders off to never, never
land. Therefore, he is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, and
damned if he can stay where he is. The Donald is in meltdown mode, but he
is still talking...for a while.
If the Donald has a delete
button, he might wish to delete these comments for starters.
