Smokescreen and The Donald...

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that when it comes to politics, everything is on purpose.  That may be a pretty solid limb, but I said it.

I’ve been getting a big kick out of Donald Trump and his antics.  He’s kind of like a living and breathing political comic. Some of the things he says will resonate with a lot of Americans. As a political comic, he will offend you, but will get whatever his point is, across to the reader. But, this is not the point of my commentary today, just an observation.

While watching The Donald and seeing all the media coverage he is getting, I start to get suspicious. This brings me back to my first comment about everything in politics being on purpose. Maybe I’m a bit tainted from watching House of Cards, maybe a little. 

I’m thinking that the GOP is kind of beating the Media at their own game. Let’s distract the Media with someone very colorful and attention getting. This will get us closer to election time without the Media doing its typical bashing of all the “good” candidates (there’s actually only one good one). By the time they realize that they have been duped, the voters will have already made up their minds and it may actually be a more educated decision without all the Media fodder to muddy the waters.

This is where my Smokey and the Bandit comparison come to play.  Trump is the black Trans Am that distracts the Smokey’s (the Media) from the real purpose of getting the shipment of Coors beer to the finish line. Just in case you were wondering, Rand Paul is the beer and of course the finish line is Election Day. I almost don’t want to post this and give the mainstream Media a heads up, but I love using classic movies to make my points.

The last election, the Media had way too much time herding us towards a losing candidate and ignoring Ron Paul. They succeeded in a second term for our glorious Commander in Chief that broke the barriers of racism (he actually made things worse) and upheld the Constitution (he actually weakened it). This plan may actually work! Go Bandit Go!
