The boys inside the
beltway and the media powers from NYC to DC are choking on their microphones as
The Donald, as he is known to adoring fans, continues to devour a steady diet
of liberal media, political opposition, and preferential prodigals designed by
the "politically correct" clowns.
Trump cannot help himself,
he is having great fun and he is doing it in a way the professional politicians
and media, whether right or left leaning, had better take seriously. No one east of the Allegheny Mountains has a
clue about politics in America 's
third world, or outside the beltway.
Where I grew up, in Iowa the caucus state, talk of Washington , D.C.
was generally concerned with the foolishness and egomania of those politicians
in the nation's capitol. Outside the
beltway, people had little good to say about government and a lot bad.
As government became more
and more polarized people figured it was just as well, they were only doing
stupid things anyway. At times, it
seemed the safest course of action was to send congress back on vacation where
they could not screw up the union further.
People could still talk
about politics with humor, not hate.
They could still talk about God without legal challenges. They could still talk about all the things
now on the politically taboo list and forbidden to discussion.
Well, along comes Trump
and suddenly he shatters all the taboo subjects and strategies and perceptions
heretofore promoted by the eastern elite.
If an opponent attacks him,
he fires back with guns in both hands.
If a news media demagogue
asks a stupid question, he calls it a stupid question and refuses to answer.
He flaunts his hard-earned
wealth and laughs at the tax loopholes that made it possible. Yet he stands alone as the only person
running for office who really knows what needs to be fixed, and how to fix it.
When pressed by the media
for details he implies there will be plenty of time for details when he is
president. How many politicians have
been quick to lay out extensive policy papers, like Obama, and then ignore them
once elected.
The truth is no one knows
what will work until they are in the oval office and discover the truth about
what the government is doing.
Win or lose The Donald is
turning the election upside down and his down-to-Earth comments and instant
availability to an often hostile press is refreshing transparency missing from
the Obama administration and many other professional politicians.
If his numbers keep
improving in the polls and he continues to dominate the media he will be a
force to be reckoned with, one created by the very media that called him a
buffoon and an idiot just a few weeks ago.
Keep it up Donald because
at last we are getting some honesty in politics.
