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. 

 

It's a different method, though the same reason as to how Obama won the Presidency.  There was a vast majority of the electorate that had "no clue" when it came to the REAL issues at hand.  It was all about "hope and change".  That portion of the electorate was the "youth vote" (those between 18-29).  Obama wasn't elected because of policy, it had more to do with irrelevant things.  Voting for him was the "cool" thing to do on college campuses.

 

Though some on the right mock him by calling him "The Chosen One" or "The Messiah" or "Dear Leader", it's not far from the truth.  Look at how people reacted back then.
