My first interview of the morning was spent reassuring Japanese military officer that Trump is not going to win. But Brexit! No, not Brexit, as US polling is more/better, as US is more diverse, as Trump can't spell GOTV, and on and on.
Tis strange to be applying my sabbatical mission abroad--but easier to make the case now than a few months ago, even if this was pretty predicatable. Still, it is striking that outsiders are still very nervous.

Also a tad bit ironic, considering Japan's social conservatism and ethnic homogenity that are causing much of its demographic and economic problems.
Trump won't win. I mean it looks like there are a lot of ignorant, fearful and racist Americans, but after watching the last presidential debate, I just cannot see a majority voting for this clown. Ok they elected Bush twice so you never know right?
