I’m having second thoughts about the selection of Donald Trump. Yesterday I blogged about how utterly stupid it would be if he was selected as the Republican candidate in America, but now I come to think about it, it would probably be the best outcome we could hope for. The guy’s a joke, but the problem is his republican rivals are even more dangerous. They are truly scary people with views even more fucked up than Trumps; the difference is, they would stand more of a chance than Trump in a general election. In a contest between Trump and Clinton, people would – hopefully – get serious and elect Clinton. Cruz et al have a more serious chance of entering the white house, but if anything they are more right-wing than trump. Thus ironically the rational thing for us to do is hope Donald gets his party’s nomination, as blatantly absurd as he is.
