The Triumph of Beating Will.

Reality TV has triumphed.

I know, I know I might be jumping the gun. But I am pretty confident that Donald Trump has won the nomination and that he will beat Old Lady Hillary like a baby seal. The triumph of the working class American over the intelligentsia and the credentialed elite will be complete when Donald Trump is sworn in as President. People like George Will will have their  heads explode.

Because you see there are people who insist that you have to think the way that they do. That policy has to follow the same well worn path that has led us to failure for decades. Both domestically and in foreign policy. There is a play book and if you seek to bring something new like I don't know the fast break well they will tell you that is not  how you play rings. So to speak.

The credentialed  elite, the main steam media and the pompous blow hards who echo their nonsense in blog comment sections have no concept of what normal Americans do or say. They don't go to the same places. They don't watch the same  shows. They watch HBO and PBS and never watch silly reality TV shows or daytime talk. They are not in touch with the vast majority of the voting public. Which has worked for them because that public is a vast amorphous blob that is seldom motivated to get off the couch and do something different. They go out and vote their tribe. If they are  a union based Democrat family in the Rust Belt they pull the lever for a Democrat if they vote at all. If they are a small town Republican voting family they will listen to the lasted slick conservative snake oil salesman who promises  the moon and spends his time at DC cocktail parties pretending he is in "House of Cards."

 Donald Trump is different.


You see Donald Trump is a familiar figure to these masses. He has been in their house. They are not afraid of him. They know he is not Hitler. They know he is not going to be a dictator. They have seen him deal with many difficult personalities. From the crazy Gary Busey, to the drug addled Darryl Strawberry to the angry Negro Nene Leakes. He handled them with aplomb. Because he had something they wanted. That is the Art of the Deal. You find out what someone wants and you find a way to give it to them while getting what you need in return. It doesn't always work. You make mistakes. You fail sometimes. It is the same as writing a blog post. They can't all be brilliant. Sometimes they can be funny and to the point. Other times they can fall flat. But you have to be out there trying not sitting back and criticizing and finding fault and pretending like you know how to do something that you have never done. Which is exactly what people like George Will do. People who have never run a business. Took a risk. Ran for office.

There is a natural progression in the shelf life of pundits and personalities. They come on the scene and they often offer something new and fresh. They get popular and develop a following. But they think this will  last forever. They don't realize that fashions change. That the latest thing become yesterdays news. They forget the lessons that MC Hammer has to teach them. They become arrogant and petulant and demand that their followers follow them blindly down the cul-de-sac of their own paranoia. Then they implode. You are seeing a prime example of that in someone like Glen Beck. He put all his chips on an anti-Trump jihad and he failed miserably. There will be  quite a few people in the same spot.

You see these opinion shapers and pundits and bloggers all have a following of one sort of another. From NRO to Glenn Beck to Mark Levin to Rush to FOX News they all have built a brand. I am sure that most of them opposed Trump for very legitimate reasons. They though he was a buffoon. A reality show buffoon that had no right to run for President.  A man who had no respect for their vast knowledge and impeccable credentials. Trump did the worse thing you can do those people. He ignored them. Or laughed at them. He ran. He won. That is driving them crazy. They are pushing the envelope farther and farther. To the point that they are talking about third parties or voting for Hillary Clinton.

Now you will hear the usual suspects spouting their usual inanities. That I "whorship" Donald Trump. That I am some sort of Nazi propagandist who is a mark who has been conned by the master grifter con artist that is Donald Trump. I have come to a realization. I should follow Trumps lead. I need to ignore them. To laugh at them. Their spittle flecked desperation is getting very unseemly. They need to stew in their own juices. It is hard to be a good winner. It is hard to not spike the football and do the Icky shuffle when you had to listen to all the bullshit that has been flung. But it is not smart to gloat. Because we won today doesn't mean we are going to win tomorrow. It is best to be grateful. To move on with life. To make your blog posts and win your elections and write your stories and leave the rest behind.

Remember the lesson that MC Hammer can teach you. You can be on top of the world and a multi-millionaire today and working in a car wash tomorrow. MC tells us one thing about accomplishments:
