Quote:If I am being completely honest I am torn. I think he's hilarious and makes for entertainment the likes of which you can't fabricate.

 

At the same time it makes me sad for the political process. Not because he's rich and can run for himself without donors but because his outlandish and bully attitude actually resonates with enough people that he "made the cut". It's a mockery to the people running that are doing it because they think they can do a good job that people doing it to extend their brand and relevance are being supported. 

 

With that said, I've got lots of popcorn and beer ready. 

 

I, too, will never underestimate the American voting public's ability to be taken in by a publicity hound - but only up to a point.

 

Trump is very entertaining in a sad and low brow sort of way, but let's see how long this all lasts before people become bored and move on to the next did-you-see-that moment. If he is still a force months from now then it will be time to bemoan the second coming of Bill and Hillary.
