Tom McLaughlin: Looking ahead to November

Democrats and their mainstream media allies hate Donald Trump, and that hate has been the central political dynamic of the past four years. By extension, they also hate Trump supporters, which comprise more than 60 million Americans whom they consider ignorant at best, or irredeemably racist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic at worst. As someone who held my nose when voting for Trump in 2016, I shall likely do so again in November, only this time with relish.

Democratic voters interviewed by mainstream media during the New Hampshire primary last week were asked whom they liked, but their answers were more about who they didn’t like — Donald Trump. They weren’t sure what Democrat to vote for and would make up their minds in the voting booth, at which time they would choose the candidate most likely to beat him. Bernie Sanders’ supporters were rabid for their guy, but supporters of the other candidates were unenthusiastic. Democratic and media pundits are afraid Bernie will get the nomination and then be easily beaten by President Trump.
