OK, I admit it. I am starting to freak a little bit. I really believe that Trump would be a disaster for this country. Domestically the damage he can do it limited. But internationally, he really could hurt us. Best case scenario is that we have 4 years of looking like buffoons, worst case is much worse than that. Really, this isn’t about policy for me- Trump probably isn’t much worse than a plain vanilla Republican that way (and in some respects, like LGBTQ, better). It’s about us electing a grade A douche. But… What I have seen with the eroding lead by Hillary is really worrying me that somehow he’s going to pull it off… Tell me it won’t happen- please… --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/talk-me-off-the-ledge/770408)._
