(30,832 posts)Funny, creepy, crazy, all wrapped up in one. It doesn't get much better than that (although Trump is trying his best).

Although he didn't run under the (R) banner.

(35,503 posts)giant sucking sound. I voted for him in the primary but he melted down in the general. His VP was a hoot "Who am I, why am I here?"

(32,836 posts)I guess I'm one of those viewers driving the Trump coverage. I love hearing about his latest over the top comments and petty celebrity feuds. He's an arrogant, insecure asshole but I'm thoroughly entertained and constantly wondering if he's a mole. "TEN BILLION DOLLARS!!11"

(33,688 posts)that makes them stand out in my mind. The dyed-in-the-wool jebus-wheezers seem truly alien, in every sense, like people from the planet Zorgax, at least to me. That's probably why I find them so impossibly funny. Palin is a near-miss in that respect.
Trump is just a rich, mean version of a Kramden/Flintstone blowhard idiot.

(11,366 posts)He was such a delusional bubble-dweller that he actually thought he was going to win (despite all the non-right-wing polling) and he didn't prepare a concession speech.
Woosh over his head.
