ORIGINAL: heavyblinker Kasich could have brought everyone together, but of course, the right doesn't want that. I think the dems would just run roughshed over him if he was President. I don't know about bringing together. It's difficult to say what kind of campaign they would have run, but I guarantee that neither would have stooped as low as Trump did. The left wouldn't have been happy, but they would still have accepted Kasich. Hillary is a politician, not a mean girl... Kasich is worthy of her respect and would have gotten it, and her defeat wouldn't have been as bitter for everyone... because at least the dignity of the office AND the country would have been preserved. Instead, 2016 was a triumph of racism, stupidity, hate, incompetence and division... it would have been a disaster even if Trump hadn't won. Even getting the nomination was bad for America. I don't think the right realizes that this wasn't just about Hillary losing, this is about coming face to face with just how ugly, just how awful, just how evil America can get. Watching Trump win the election was like watching someone you care about being raped, and being powerless to stop it... and then having to watch all of the idiots who made it happen taunt you even as it becomes increasingly clear that even they don't even realize the full extent of what has happened. It isn't just about the left vs. the right-- Trump isn't part of the traditional right. Trump is the personification of all of the absolute worst aspects of America, and even though the GOP isn't exactly united, Trumpists and scary circus clowns still have enough power to do real damage. It's terrifying, humiliating, nervewracking... even though nobody has actually died as a direct result, I would still compare it to 9/11 in terms of stirring up fear and forcing people to worry about the future. It definitely made me wonder if Americans wouldn't be better off under a system more like the one you have. At least the world would be safe from the level of stupidity we are seeing now.
