Subject: BS: Thru the eyes of reality show America
We probably all know the format of reality shows where people shout argue scheme and eliminate other contestants.

It has come to the Republican party just as Fox has used the out shouting reality show format to make "good TV" out of formerly boring news shows. Of course facts are never the issue but up staging or shutting out an opponent counts as wining the news segment.

Who better to lead the reality show presidential campaign than a reality show star Donald J Trump. In the game of out shouting, out scandalize and eliminating opponents as easy as firing them, Trump will beat anyone who tries to hit him in the reality game show framework.

It just so happens that the national audience to this reality show are arguably the same 2/3 of the people who normally never vote.


To hell with issues, in reality show America its all about feelings and fear is a powerful feeling.

The key to defeat the glaring fascist aspects of Trumpism and scape goating also lies within the theatre of the reality show.

We can not soley rely upon the lofty goals of the intelligentsia to make the best choice for America. We have to make Trump enter the traditional race for the Presidency as well as send him home and deprive him of becoming the last survivor.

IGNORING HIM is a fine strategy for now but there will come a time when that would be clearly foolish in light of the fact that so many foolish reality show patriots are waiting to vote for perhaps the first time in years.

So put yourself in the shoes of reality show AMERICANS. What would ever make you want to vote TRUMP OUT?   Nothing so far.
