Bryan: "I think the presence of Trump in the long run is actually a good thing, because I think it will be a wake up call to what could have been a diaster.

Interviewer: "Would you ever play Trump?"

Bryan: "Yes! I am facinated by Trump because he is a classic tragic Shakespearean character. You know, what's so amazing about Donald Trump is that he is unabashedly a demagogue. He talks about issues and problems and if you listen to that you would think that everything is horrible, that everything is just horrible. He also doesn't express any solutions.

'I'm just going to make it great. It'll be great again. I can garantee it. Great again. We're gonna great deals. Everything's gonna be fantastic, it's gonna be Huge. Great great great! Huge! Problem! Problem! Problem! Great great great!'


And you go 'He's saying nothing.' he has no ideas... He's remarkable... That's why he is so Shakespearean, he's so unlike anyone we have ever seen in that realm."

Interviewer: "Do you think he could win?"

Bryan: "It's not real to me that he could win It's just... It would be the most bizarre thing imaginable. I don't think hes going to win and I hope that when he loses that he would do everyone a huge favor and he just went away. If he just.... Please, just go away"

Man he really had to eat those words didn't he?

I still think this attitude of talking/looking down on anyone who voted Trump (or even just didn't vote Clinton) that you, Bryan and others displayed is one of the biggest reasons Trump got such a large support base.

Effectively going "Anyone who doesn't agree with me is an idiot" in honeyed words is a surefire way to give incentive to people who disagree with you to be more empassioned.

I mean you look at things like the TPP and Clinton's dodgy blood money from dirty nations and reality isnt as cut and dry as good and evil.

I think AVGN said it best. The 2016 election was like being neck deep in a pool of cold piss, and then someone comes along and starts pouring a bucket of hot shit over your face. Do you duck down under the piss? Or take the shit face on?

I'd argue ducking down under the piss is the lesser of the two evils but I'm not going to look down on anyone who picked the shit, It's really just perspective.

In the quote you gave he didn't say anything about his supporters, voters or people who didn't vote Clinton.

I don't get why this is framed as a one-way thing.

I hope the 2016 election taught everyone the lesson that literally anyone can win. Never feel that the outcome will be the sane one; never feel safe. Literally anyone can win. Well, as long as they're rich and/or famous and running as a Republican.
