Larry David says thinking about a Donald Trump win is like 'contemplating your own death'

Donald Trump winning the White House this November would be pretty, pretty, pretty bad, said Seinfeld creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David in a New York Times piece printed Saturday.

"The possibility of that is too horrifying to broach," David wrote in an email to the Times. "It's like contemplating your own death." Asked whether he ever does, in fact, contemplate his death, the famously neurotic comic answered, "I can't go there."

David's comments were part of a larger feature on once-confident Hillary Clinton supporters who now worry their candidate could actually lose. The Times reports that threats to move to Canada are totally more serious this time around, but come on, we all know only Kramer likes Canadian football.
