    A Trump nomination could be unifying for the nonidiot population. That might be a good thing.

        @paulg You seem to be assuming that the nonidiot population is the majority. Looking at American politics from the outside, I'm not so sure.

        @paulg @triketora That's sort of like committing a critical security bug to git because hopefully everyone will jump on it during review.

        @paulg think the non-idiot Germans thought the same thing, before the Nazi Brownshirts hit the streets?

        @paulg I don’t think you’re helping your case by stooping to level DH0 in your own disagreement hierarchy. http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html

        @paulg never felt so close to Republican friends as they seriously consider voting Hillary to avoid Trump. Unifying.

        @paulg @harscoat But being called “idiots” by a Left lacking empathy is exactly why frustrated Rights flock to Trump. We can do better.

        @paulg Caricaturing his supporters is not a good idea if you want to beat em. They're desperate for an authentic outsider, not all dumb.

        @paulg I recommend reading this: http://www.cracked.com/blog/trump-will-be-nominee-5-inside-reasons-it-happened/ … Not exactly The Intercept, but sometimes they write insightful stuff.
