The threat of a Trump presidency is not gone until it's gone

Press coverage like this highlights the problem:  All Trump has to do is stick around and hope that Hillary Clinton implodes.  And she just might.  As long as people are speaking about him, his polling numbers stay high enough to keep him in the race. So all he has to do is say things that keep people talking.  And he's an expert at that. The press feels like it has to cover what he says, no matter how absurd.  He'll just keep saying absurd things until he's run out by the Republicans, he loses the election, or Hillary Clinton implodes.

So the best thing we can do if we don't want him to be president is to stop watching. Don't follow links about him.  What?  Are you concerned he might say something important?  He's not going to.  More ego, more bluster and more absurdity.  That's all you're going to hear from him.  Do your part to knock him out of the race by not supporting his antics.
