♪ I've Got Yooooou....Under My Skin ♫

What was it Gandhi said (or was it Ben Kingsley)? First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack and ridicule and try to destroy you...then, if you can make it through that, you win. Well anyway, something like that.

So what's up with Trump? He has just about pissed off every politician in both parties including their hangers-on, their corporate and union minders, their whores, their secret gay boyfriends (that everybody knows about but the folks back home), their "Washington husbands" (Renee Ellmers can you spell Kevin McCarthy?) and even their wives (whatever the hell she's up to these days). Yep, he's an equal opportunity piss-or.

Remember how they treated Reagan back in the 70s? Both parties, but mostly the Republican Party slandered him no end. He's a lightweight that appeals to the worst among us. He's a crazy blowhard who will burn out in no time. He's an idiot, not Ivy League or from one of the "approved" schools. Well I'm seeing a lot of parallels with Trump.

Trump is doing the one thing most politicians of BOTH parties hate, he's responding to the people. As a businessman he's just giving the market what it wants, and brotherman the United States of American WANTS this immigration SHIT sorted out and dammnit I mean YESTERDAY! There is so much anger, so much frustration, so much pent up (for lack of a better word) energy in the true conservative base something has got to give.

I understand why Democrats want open borders. It means power for them. But I really don't understand why supposed conservative Republicans haven't opposed this VIGOROUSLY from the get go. It's insane, unless, hold on just a second, a thought just occurred to me, unless they DON'T GIVE A DAMN about anything apart from maintaining their own personal wealth and status. Gee, do you think maybe that's possible?

So let them keep calling Trump an unprincipled media clown or attention junkie. Who cares? He may be, but so what? He's giving the establishment a taste of their own medicine. He's a threat to their control. He's the turd in the punch bowl, the bastard at the family reunion, the guy who is driving them crazy, and I'm loving every minute of it. I hope he stays in until the end.
