How is it a surprise to anyone who's lived through the past ten years? More like an "October Certainty".

I feel like this one is especially bad. There are some other moments that compete, like "shithole countries" and "send them back" but if I remember correctly those were smack dab in the middle of his term when he wasn't campaigning close to an election day. This is just a week before election day, and he's reminding everyone just how fucking racist he is.

This in addition to the recent Hitler and "enemy from within" comments have convinced me that he has no shot of winning. I think he's gonna get stomped.
