I think they are right about the way Trump -- and by extension Clinton -- will be treated by the punditry and it's lickspittle servants.

Nobody here would even bother to show up. They call it a ponte or birdge, and take them at the drop of a hat.

At some point, though, you would think enough might be enough.
