With a new corps of Democratic activists unwilling to quietly "wait their turn" in electoral politics, it was a busy ramp-up to an important election-year. So it is no wonder that so many popular posts dealt with who was running an why.

Donald Jehosephat Trump is a fucking idiot
Do you know how easy it would have been for Trump to be 51% popular? So, fucking easy. If he mixed in one normal "bipartisan" sounding observation for every 20 "red meat for the base" bullshit statement, the press would treat the normal observation like gold.
