> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > No, it all holds together. Look at all the problems Donald Trump has faced and see who’s behind every one of them. It’s obvious: Donald Trump is the secret leader of the conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump. There are some who would agree; [The biggest problem with Trump’s campaign is Trump himself](http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/10/14/13283218/donald-trump-problem-conspiracy). The Onion article linked above is pretty much accurate. ---

Even if our choice was between Trump and the Illuminati, I’d take the Illuminati any day. At least they’d have a vested interest in maintaining a relatively stable status quo. The natural conclusion of a Trump Presidency would look like Mad Max, with him as Immortan Joe. ---

Any good global conspiracy would publish a good tape of Trump telling Stern that he thinks _Toddlers and Tiaras_ contestants are hot. ---

> [@Quartz](#): > > Clinton’s going to win in a landslide. No, she’s not. Trump’s base is solid. He may get no other votes, but he will get them. Days after it’s revealed he likes to assault women, they remain steadfast in their support. There’s no way Clinton wins an actual\* landslide\*, like Reagan’s elections. And that sucks, because then the Trumpists will be even more convinced the election was “rigged.” ---

I guess this will be Trumps version of birtherism to de-legitimize Hillary’s predidency. “I won the election, but international bankers stole the election from me”. Get ready for Trump and his supporters to say that for the next decade or so. ---

The one who is completely incompetent and never got anything done in 30 years or the master manipulator who has pulled together a vast conspiracy to take down the greatest candidate of modern times? Exactly this! Trump is now complaining about a vast, left-wing conspiracy? :smack: ---

At least they’d have a vested interest in maintaining a relatively stable status quo. Or, as somebody (I forget who) put in somewhere on this board, even if you are lazy and ignorant enough to believe that both major candidates are equally corrupt, it’s simply impossible to believe that they are anywhere near equally _competent_. If one must be ruled by an evil overlord, better Dr. Doom than Dr. Drakken.
