Donald and Hillary or Mrs Clinton and Mr. Trump......or WTF and OMG.

Even though I think there will be some form of sanity adjustment during the GOP convention I have to start actually believing that  on November 8, 2016 there will be a ballot that gives you the choice of selecting the first female President of the United States or the first celebrity.

(Ronnie was a celeb....but before running for the highest office in the land he was President of the Screen Actors Guild and served two terms as Governor  of the California....Donald is trying to go from celebrity to President with no POLITICAL experience and apparently millions of people think that's a good thing)

There is also a possibility that if the GOP throws Donald under the bus he might just form the Trump Party.  And it's not impossible that Bernie also might form the Rooseveltsolutism Party and we could have four choices.

PROBABLY NOT but this is one of those elections where people keep saying things like............
...."I can't believe, what is going on, how is this possible, there's no way and WTF?

One of the side notes from a Donald Trump candidacy is the awareness that certain celebrities, who are politically involved and aware, or not, are now realizing that maybe ANYONE can actually be President....as long as they have a large Twitter, Facebook, Tumbler, Linkedin or Instagram following.

That makes someone like Bruno Mars or Taylor Swift rethink what they might want to do in the future.

Bruno's 30 so he could be looking at 2020 when he turns 35 in October of that year.  (35 is the age requirement)  Taylor would have to wait until the 2028 election but by then she'll probably be married to Prince Harry and who wants to be President when you can eventually be Queen.

Is there any chance that celebrity worshiping will peak any time in the near future?  It seems to be getting stronger and stronger and the odd element involved is that you don't necessarily need to be gifted with incredible talent.

Prince deserves every form of praise that can possibly be bestowed on his memory because he was a seriously gifted musician and, as we are now learning, a very caring humanitarian.

Donald Trump is wealthy and he hosted a TV show which are apparently  good enough reasons to have 40 million people support anything you might want to do....including RUN THIS COUNTRY.

The celebrity status obtained by certain reality TV show participants makes NO SENSE.

I'm not about to list them because first off I'd misspell their names and second off because I've never watched those shows so I actually have no idea what talent they possess, if indeed they do possess some unique talent.  Do they?   Do the people on Survivor actually know how to do anything except survive?  Do the contestants on The Bachelor know how to do anything except.....date?

Hillary is also a celebrity but it's based on political aspirations from very early in her life....and that form of political celebrity is something we have faced many many times before.

WE HAVE NEVER FACED WHAT WE ARE FACING WITH A DONALD TRUMP CANDIDACY.

And to be honest, I'm not sure the celebrity aspect of this endeavor is the main reason he is so popular.  It's very possible that 40% of the American public is flat out.......uninformed.   Now I wanted to say stupid but that's too easy.  I have to remember that every Presidential election only generates participation from 60% of the eligible voters.

SO 40% IS ALWAYS ON THE SIDELINES.....and maybe that's the Trump base. People who don't vote and only watch TV for their news and entertainment.   It would be interesting to take a poll of Trump supporters and find out what novels they read....or if they actually read anything except for those magazines setting next to the check out stand at their markets.  Maybe they only look at the covers....I'm sorta being sarcastic but then again....I'm sorta not.

IT'S A BAFFLING AGENDA THAT DOMINATES THE CURRENT POLITICAL ARENA AND IN MY HUMBLE OPINION IT ALL STARTED WHEN JOHN McCAIN SELECTED GOVERNOR PALIN FOR HIS RUNNING MATE IN 2008.

THAT OPENED A SPECIAL CAN OF WORMS THAT WAS LABELED.....WTF?

I will say one thing about a Clinton/Trump election....the three debates that would take place might be some of the most entertaining debates in history.  Not necessarily interesting but for sure entertaining.   

DT....."so listen lady.....where do you get your hair done......I have someone that can help you."

HC...." If we weren't on national TV I'd walk over and bitch slap you silly."

DT...."and those pants......do you actually have any legs?

HC...."That's it......Bill....will you please come out here and knock this asshole out?"

BC....."I can't honey, he gave $250,000 to my campaigns and another mil to OUR foundation."

DT...."And...I want it back or I'm going to sue both of you."

The ratings for a Clinton/Trump debate will top everything except The Super Bowl.

Again I'm pretty sure the GOP will somehow curtail the Trump bandwagon but if they don't....August, September and October of 2016 will be off the charts for political weirdness.

Forget the candidates for a second.....think about your family,  friends and neighbors and the type of debates you will be involved in.  Now think about the conversations with people that you don't really like, and are on completely different political sides of the coin, but that you can't avoid.......co-workers, family and friends that you only like when they aren't talking politics or religion.

IT COULD BE  APOCALYPTICALLY  EVENTFUL.

I hope I'm wrong and I hope that everyone keeps calm.....but so far Trump has done nothing to indicate that calm might be part of his persona.

My faith is that the GOP will make the right choice.......

But....when was the last time that happened?

And if you are a Republican your answer is........"EVERY SINGLE TIME."

And there in lies the rub.......and allows me to simply say....

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

DONALD TRUMP VS HILLARY CLINTON

GOD HELP US!
