You're right Lager. The first thing that came to my mind also as I read the article was Sarah Palin's failed attempt.

Maybe Donald J. Trump, author of The Art of The Deal, the man behind Celebrity Apprentice, , the guy with hundreds and hundreds of really classy real estate holdings around the world, the guy that brought us Trump steaks, water, ties, & shirts, the educator that started Trump University, the developer that brought us Trump Casino and Trump Taj Mahal, the guy that proclaims that he's "very smart" for failing to pay taxes, the entrepreneur that doesn't pay his contractors and sues his partners, and is the self proclaimed "master of debt" can make it work with millions and millions of subscribers, big league contributors like Rudy Giulliani, Newt Gingerich, Jeff Sessions, & Ben Carson, and first class entertainment from celebs like Stephen Baldwin, Charlie Sheen, Tila Tequila, Willie Robertson, and 'The Motor City Madman' Ted Nugent, if anyone can make this enterprise a huuuuge success, it's Donald J. Trump.

Otherwise it will be another giant tax deduction for this major scofflaw.

For me, it's time to focus on holding Clinton's feet to the fire and make her follow through with the progressive planks nailed to the party platform.  A Democratic congress and a progressively-minded Supreme Court majority would help.

So some thoughts on that:

There's no doubt on my mind that Clinton will win the election. There is also no doubt in my mind that on November 9th, the Republicans and their friends on the right will say that Hillary is a fluke president with no mandate because the only reason she won was because her opponent was the worst major party nominee in the history of the United States.

Now I think there's a decent chance the Dems could retake the Senate. But I don't see them getting anywhere close to a filibuster proof majority.

And while I think the House will see some Dem gains, I don't see them taking the majority in the House.

Remember, few people are clamoring for a Hillary presidency. She's just a far better option than Trump and the alt-right minions that could follow him into the Senate and House.

So at the end of the day, we'll still see a heavily gridlocked federal government. There will be no major progressive legislation passed anytime soon and Hillary will need to govern as a centrist if she hopes to move anything forward.

"There is also no doubt in my mind that on November 9th, the Republicans and their friends on the right will say that Hillary is a fluke president with no mandate because the only reason she won was because her opponent was the worst major party nominee in the history of the United States."

And another round of "She's not my president"?
