The Democrats Are Worried

In recent days, it has begun to dawn on a lot of people that Donald Trump really may win the election. (I, of course, have been predicting it all along…) This is causing near-hysteria in some quarters, and louder demands by Democrats for journalists in general, and the debate moderators in particular, to put their thumbs on the scale. As if they weren’t already doing so!

Last night the Democrats sent out this email, with the subject heading “we. QUIT.” Click to enlarge:

No, it isn’t a joke anymore. And with a hundred million people set to tune in to tonight’s debate, the Democrats have even more to worry about: what if millions of those viewers don’t find Trump scary or dangerous, and they see no reason to consider him a “racist, sexist bigot”? If I were a Democrat, I’d be worried too.

UPDATE: As I was typing this post, the email below came in from the Democratic Party:
