Calling the Donald a loser has to be the biggest insult of them all. He's been called racist, misogynist, bigot, etc. and it only seems to make him stronger. As my Grandmother used to say, "What won't kill you will fatten you."
My wife and I were watching the returns from Iowa last night and we were openly rooting for Marco Rubio. Not that Marco is one of our favorites, but he climbed up to one point away from Trump. We were dying to see when he would tie him and then beat him by one point. It didn't happen but Marco milked it for all he could get. It was a moral victory for him and what I'm sure Trump was railing about in private that he was outgunned by two Cubans. After all those assaults on Latinos, here he was, surrounded by Cubans and losing to them. How traumatic can that be for the self described winner? Losing to people who are not even "regular" Americans, and one of them not even born inside the country! How humiliating is that?
You almost have to feel sorry for the Trumpster. Forced to eat crow on live TV.
Welcome to the real reality TV, Donald.
This is the reality TV you can't manipulate, direct, or create a happy ending for yourself. You may be able to bedazzle a gold-digger like Sarah Palin, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
It would be premature to write this as an epitaph but the warning signs are there if you pay attention to them. There should be bells ringing in your head, Donald. Red flags popping up. Reality and Reality TV are not the same thing. Actually, and I know this will come as a shock to many Americans, there is nothing real about Reality TV. It's just entertainment packaged a little differently. Kind of like professional wrestling which you are a master of.
Much to the chagrin of the conspiracy enthusiasts out there, the fix is not in. There are plenty of people wanting to put the thumb on the scales (you among many) but in the end, it still is the people's call. You can't bribe them all, Donald.
Will people realize their knight in shining armor is wearing fake armor and a rubber sword? Or will those who are still pissed off at "the man" (whoever he is) stick to you like glue and carry you to the promised land?
Stay tuned, folks because it will only get more interesting.
