Trumped! Run, Donald, Run! by gimleteye

With the Tea Party, big thinkers of the GOP like Rove and Norquist caught a tiger by the tail. They channeled the inchoate anger of the nation, but the beast has now whipped around and instead of a tiger, they are holding the tail instead of a donkey with hair of indeterminate origin. There is something poetic about Donald Trump telling the media he would decide whether or not to run after the end of his reality TV show season. Perfect, isn't it? Karl Rove is calling Trump a "joke" candidate. More so than Sarah Palin? More so than Michelle Bachmann? There is a punch line, somewhere in all this. Here is a photo showing how Lee Atwater's Big Tent has turned into a scary Hall of Mirrors.

And he's so perfectly representative of them.

Why can't they see it?

Oh wait.

"You're fired!"

Love the bumper sticker. Think of it. The toupee and the poof. The bankrupt billionaire and a woman who's morally bankrupt. I cant tell whose the bigger joke.

America! You are done. This has to be the tipping point where we begin to realize how absurd America has become. It is more like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars than rational politics.

When will we stop electing the Scotts, Riveras, Artiles and Bells? It has nothing to do with party, it has to do people finally taking responsibility and vote like they are concerned about the future. This is more like the Gong Show where we have some type of voyeuristic thrill over watching the one-armed one man band. Wake up people.

At least Trump has the gonads to demand that Obama release his LONG-FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

With Trump as the candidate, we will eventually see the birth certificate and learn what Obama is hiding. That's why Trump has my vote.

Algore - you are loopy. Anyone who supports Trump should leave the country.

I think it is great. We need more like him running as Tea Party candidates. We should hope for that, right? Eventually, when this thing fizzles out, everyone will have a headache and wonder why they went to the party.

He's got the Mussolini handshake thing going on there.
