Even 37% is Too Much

Hillary Clinton leads in a Bloomberg Poll 49-37% over Donald Trump. But consider:
Meanwhile, Trump has shown no sign that he plans on moderating his tone or policy proposals now that he will top the Republican ticket. He drew the condemnation of top members of his party over his claims that a federal judge presiding over Trump University lawsuits is biased because the judge is of Mexican descent. More recently, since the mass shooting at an Orlando LGBT night club, Trump has doubled down on his proposal to ban Muslims, while insinuating that President Obama was somehow connected to the attack.
A man who is spewing outright racism is getting 37% of our voters. That's over one out of every three voters you see. How? How can that many people think that this know-nothing racist is capable of being President. This bothers me:
It also said that it was "troubling" for Trump that 63 percent of women polled said they could never vote for him. For decades, female voters have made up a majority of the electorate.
Trump is leading Clinton among white men -- 50 to 33 percent -- according to the poll, but he still has work to do to catch up to the 62 percent of white men who supported Mitt Romney in 2012 exit polls.
A majority of likely voters -- 64 percent -- said they expect that Trump will keep saying things that upset Republicans, while only 30 percent said they believe the presumptive GOP nom would tone it down.
Trump did lead Clinton, 50 percent to 45 percent, when likely voters were asked who would better combat terrorist threats here and abroad.
As a white man, I'm disgusted with those like me. As someone with a brain, i'm disgusted that 50% of the public thinks he could fight terrorism. I'm kind of just disgusted that anyone supports this. This man is a clown, and not a funny one. He's an ignoramus on an unmatched level, and fits the stereotype of that ignorant relative who just spews Rush Limbaugh's one-liners at you during Thanksgiving Dinner.

I really hope Gary Johnson somehow beats this clown.

Big Props to Aaron Rodgers

We spend a lot of time talking about athletes who beat up their girlfriends, kill people, run drug rings, and steal. Let's talk for a second about Aaron Rodgers:
At Lambeau Field, before the Green Bay Packerslost to the Detroit Lions 18-16, a fan shouted out a slur against Muslims during the moment of silence.
That did not sit well with Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who called out the fan in his postgame comments.
“I must admit, I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was that made a comment that was very inappropriate during the moment of silence,” Rodgers said.
"It’s that kind of prejudicial ideology that puts us in the position we are today as a world.”
Rodgers would not elaborate on what he heard the fan say. He wore an expression of disgust as he chastised the unidentified fan.
I have nothing but respect for Rodgers on the field. I also have nothing but respect for him off the field too. The guy is simply a class act.
