Public humiliation might be Donald Trump’s greatest fear, says the report that there is a decent chance he’s headed for a historic one.
As we all know, the most unpopular presidential candidate in modern history is George McGovern, whose 1972 race against Richard Nixon ended with him raking in a puny 37.4 percent of the vote.
Why say this? Is there any relationship with today’s election? Yes. There is at least one surface similarity to today’s politics: Thought it didn’t happen in anywhere near as public a fashion as the GOP flight from Trump, the Democratic establishment abandoned McGovern, the darling of lefty activities.
Just as the left was thoroughly buried in 1972, the country now has the opportunity to bury not just Donald Trump, but the racist, misogynistic politics he stands for. A complete reputation in full view of a global audience would send a clear signal that Donald Trump is not America.
