That's.... insightful. Hmmm. Let's see if you're right.

He's got the whacko's on the right, what if during the debates he's able to actually do well and start grabbing the rest of the right? He's got two things going for him, he's unabashedly candid and aggressive and he's got his own money. The guy can afford to offend. Americans will eat that shit up all day long. Also, he's going to be able to call out each candidate on things their peers wouldn't dare call out, because they're likely guilty of it too. Frivolous spending in their states etc.

I'm not a Trump fan, I can't stand his show or his swaggering assholishness, but I'd be lying if I said that I cannot wait to watch those debates. I think this promises to be the greatest #sillyseason's in modern history.

I'm hoping it's crazy enough that it makes Jon Stewart or Steven Colbert come back. Of COURSE they both quit months before a feast's worth of comedy gets laid out in front of them, just begging to be eaten.

Colbert will be on the Late Show though, right? He'll have a forum to shine. It's going to be hilarious...... until he actually becomes president and then it's going to be this

Yeah. But as himself not the character. It's gonna be weird.
