    The good news is I still do not think Trump will be on the ballot this November and this week in court shows why. It’s not his sleeping. It’s not his reported flatulence (which I care little about). It is that Trump is showing undeniable signs of dementia. He seems to be melting into a puddle of his own makeup and sweat. The stress can be seen in the photos and the videotape from New York. If Donald Trump is this stressed out a week into his first trial, how could he possibly be expected to last through three more trials, or lead our country for four more years in what is probably the most stressful job on the planet?

    Here’s the lede

      I like this article’s sentiment, but realistically it’s wishful thinking. Trump will still be the GOP presidential candidate November.

      We’re too far along in the primary process, there’s too much obstruction in the courts, and there are too many people who are convinced he’s their messiah (for some inexplicable reason) for him to drop off the ballot now. And let’s face it, he’s been ranting incoherently and breaking the law for 8+ years now and it only seems to energize his base.

      I hope I’m wrong. But I highly doubt I am.
