Re: Holy Fucking Shit, Donald Trump

Yeah, about the best explanation I've seen for his behavior is that he is doing one hell of a trollfest of the GOP. If that were the case, I'd find it quite entertaining. But considering he's always had a pretty pompous personality in general, and people have actually responded well to some of the stupid things he says...kind of sucks any potential entertainment out of his being around.

Mind, I've always thought he was obnoxious, well before he ran for president, and never understood the fascination with him. At least in the past I could generally avoid him, however-I never watched stuff like "Celebrity Apprentice" and things of that sort, so aside from occasionally hearing his name pop up in the news and whatnot, he wasn't really on my radar.

Now that he's an actual presidential candidate, he's harder to ignore as a result. And I'm longing for the day when he drops out of the race, and hoping that after he does that he can just go away in general for a really, really long time.

I read that story, the theory that, whether he intends to or not, he's punching a hole in the GOP narrative by underlining in mile high neon that *this is the base they're all pandering to, and this is what it wants, this is what the GOP has made for itself.*

If that's true, I almost admire it. Mostly it just scares the hell out of me either way.

I sincerely hope that is the case. It's the only way to make his time in the race even remotely tolerable.

But you're right that either way it's scary. Either he genuinely believes this stuff, which is something we really don't need more of, or he's reminding us through his trolling that all the legit candidates in the GOP DO, and have supporters to boot. Enough to make you want to cry, really.
