When Obama couldn't get Guantanamo closed then whatever more unrealistic idea someone has an ever lower chance to see the day. So in a way I want Trump to win because I want to see this metamorphosis happen. Clinton winning will give the alt-right a short-term blow, Trump winning will give them a long-term blow. We have a saying here and that goes like nothing is eaten as hot as boiled.
