Politics anyone?

[CBStew]

I know that political talk is generally eschewed on this board.  But the Republican debate (?) last night wasn't as much politics as it was entertainment.  It was broadcast on the West Coast during the "there is nothing on TV to watch" time period of 6 pm to 8pm.  So of course it had our rapt attention.  The star of the show was Donald.  However, I was disappointed by his hair.  I seemed flatter and less alive than it usually looks.  But he made up for it with his pursed mouth expression.  The way that he purses his mouth makes it look as though he is concentrating.  I think that expression was adopted to offset Rick Perry's studious glasses.  Speaking of hair, Chris Cristie is training that curly lock of hair in the middle of his forehead to make him look like a latter day Betty Boop.  I can't wait for the next debate.  The Democrats don't debate until October.  That's when I get to see my hero, Bernie Sanders, in action.  Bernie is white haired, Jewish and a septuagenarian.  That is my demographic!   Go Bernie!!!!!!!

Politics is entertainment now. It's just reality TV.  If you think it isn't, just look who is leading the polls. And where was the other party's leader while this reality show was on? With Kim and Kanye.

Politics is now just cable TV fodder.

We need leaders who are in it to serve, not entertain.

Does anybody really believe Donald Trump will take a $400K/year job where he has to put all his investments into a blind trust?

Donald doesn't expect to be elected.  But if he and the rest of us suddenly learn that the moon is made out of green cheese, he would probably continue with business as usual, because he is, after all, The Donald, and is entitled to do whatever he damn well pleases with his 10 billion dollars.

I don't think this is in dispute. I'd prefer he use it to buy that moon, go there, and never come back.

I've heard in more than one place that either Adelson (more likely, they're both in the casino business) or the Koch brothers did something to fuck him out of some money, and this is just his way of fucking them back.

It's actually the most plausible explanation (outside of, you know, massive ego) for Trump running.

Source for that? If so, it's genius-level spite.

Of course now I can't find anything outside of a couple tinfoil-hat blogs. And searching for anything with Adelson and Trump both in the criteria is making me feel my soul die piece by piece.

It's an interesting theory, but really, I think "massive ego" pretty much covers anything Trump does. (avoids "trumps everything" Fork-joke).
