Yesterday Somebody Here On DU Called The Trump Campaign A Circus.....

It is a three ring circus with Trump himself as the Ringmaster and the three rings being: 1. CNN, 2. MSNBC and 3. Fox News

We have elephants - the Repugs. We have clowns - Trump's surrogates. We have the high wire act - Trump's campaign staff.
And we have the sideshow - Trump supporters.

Let's say the only ones allowed under the tent are white people. They are loving the ringmaster.

I am a white guy with a big problem with white people. They are easily fooled.

In 2012, most white people went with Romney. It wasn't just most white republicans, but most white people.

And even this 3 ring circus can still put trump in a close race. There must be some end to this madness.

And still millions of Fox News loving rat brains support this person.

We have to work harder.

Or perhaps: The Trump University of American Politics, elect a professional con and you are guaranteed to learn more than you ever expected!

In which Eric and Little Don would be "Billy" and "Jeffy", Ivanka would be "Dolly", and I guess Barron would be "P.J."

Does that make me a terrible person.

This three ring circus might play for the next four years or more.

many other venues of similar purpose, all of which exacted blood and revenue from the people craving spectacle. It is important that the media stop holding the megaphone for Trump and fulfill the role assigned it in the Constitution. Hold a mirror up to show the nation its own ugly face.

Those who are already committed to the madness should just be forgotten. Don't argue don't listen to them. Find the wavers and undecided they are the only people to listen to and win over. It can be done. Find them and engage engage engage. Use the forums. Get to the young voters. Learn from our mistakes
