The
more media and the establishment attack Trump,
the more relevant he becomes. A strategy of confronting press and political
spinners is paying yuge dividends, if we can poach Trump’s
favorite adjective.
Who
knows where Donald Trump’s campaign goes? He continues to confound supporters
and critics alike. Win or lose, Trump brings many subjects that we prefer to
ignore into sharp focus. On every hot button topic from obese women, to soft
racism, to John McCain, to press bias, to immigration, on to toxic Islam, Trump
is as close to truth on issues as his critics are to pandering.
Seven
years of bombs, bravo sierra, and Obama dithering in Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan,
Iraq, and Syria have killed more
Arabs and Muslims than ISIS. You will never see those statistics above the
fold.
Trump has bloodied the waters of
American politics too. When the feeding frenzy is done, the worst shills may
have consumed each other and some truth about safety and national security
might still float.
For
the moment, the usual suspects; media, career politicians, and associated
nitwits can’t imagine Donald Trump as president. Compared to whom? Surely not
Barack Hussein Obama, another Bush, or Bill Clinton’s most durable gal pal.
Posit,
if you will, a series of Donald/Hillary debates. The gate on those cage matches
could pay off the national debt. The winner might still have enough of a surplus
to renovate 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the Trump tribe.
The
wisdom of crowds is the way democracy works when media and political elites
fail to fool all of the people all the time.
