So apparently the damn fool has told his rallygoers that if they vote for him this time they won't have to vote any more. Mixed in with a bunch of phony baloney Christian bullshit. My first written reaction was "OK, what does he have to say to fundamentally alter the trajectory of this election?" and as you have just noted, there is nothing that would do that.

I cancelled my digital subscription to the New York fucking Times this week and said so in the comment section of the Field Negro, where I got some questions about my overt dislike for them, but also an offer to gift me Paul Krugman's column, which was the only reason I ever gave a penny to those rat bastards in the first place...
