Un-Reality Check

It's often said that even a blind hog will root up an acorn now and then. Give Jeb Bush credit for a realistic assessment of The Cheese Doodle (from hillarydaily.com, posted 25 July):

"During a segment with Nicole Wallace on MSNBC,  [Jeb] Bush opened up about his 2016 opponent. “I think people are really going to feel betrayed,” he said, indicating that Trump will not follow through on many of his most prominent campaign pledges.

“There isn’t going to be a wall built. And Mexico’s not going to pay for it. And there’s not going to be a ban on Muslims,” Bush said.

In Bush’s view, Trump has created an “alternative universe” where he will be unable to keep the promises he’s made. This will lead to further division among citizens as they are let down by their chosen candidate."

Trump lives in an alternative universe, and he's been able to convince millions of yahoos that they can live there too. Up to this point, it's obvious that 99 percent of The Cheese Doodle's support is coming from (A) old white people who are angry and/or scared, (B) neo-Nazis and white supremacy groups, and (C) the kind of fucking idiots who believe a reality TV show is reality.

Oh yeah, and (D) Russians.

Here's something from Paul Krugman of the New York Times concerning The Siberian Candidate.
