How Trump can win the election!

[Jehanne]

My purpose in this thread isn't to spark any debates over feminism and/or how women in the US (or, elsewhere) perceive themselves, real or imagined.  Rather, it's about Trump's path to the White House, if there is one.

Then perhaps you should have left out that language?

No, you wanted to slip those views in but now don't want to be questioned about them. I can't say I blame you, I wouldn't want to defend those statements myself.

Let's not derail the thread.

Please, do not derail this thread.

Dude, she is addressing your OP directly. Protip: replies are not derails.

I'll address the last first.  Usually, the topic sentence in a paragraph gives its intent away; I don't want any arguments over feminism, climate change, thread derailing. etc.  What I am after, solely, is Trump's "best path" to the White House, if there is one.

My OP was political satire, and I could have sub-titled it, "What the voters are thinking in their heads during the 2016 US Presidential election campaign."  Of course, that analysis is subjective, and it's not very PC, but then again, the thoughts that go on in peoples' heads are rarely PC.

So, how does Trump pull this one off?  He's a sexist, racist, homophobic, chauvinistic bigot, and he's not going to shake that image off, ever; and, he is running for the highest office in the Land when the US economy is doing great with a patriotic showing in the 2016 Rio Games where the US sunk every other nation.  The only path that I can see for him is the path of the "Green apocalyptic nightmare," real or imagined (probably, a little between the extremes); Hillary favors the Paris climate accords, which Trump would tear-up. Clearly, that is a difference between the two, a major one if you ask me.

What other avenue is there left for the Donald with barely 2 months to go during which a third of the country will have already voted?
