Donald Trump is the GOP's Voldemort, the Dark Lord and villain of the Harry Potter children's book series. To thinking Republicans who don't want to go through another circle of hell like the 2012 presidential primary, Trump is He Who Must Not Be Named. When a partisan mistakenly utters his name, media dementors -- soulless creatures who sail through the airwaves -- pop out from nowhere and suck the oxygen out of the hapless offender. Helpless and filled with dread, some victims die, while others slip into nothingness. The dementors will not relent. They want to turn the primary into a pain-inducing referendum on the Dark Lord.
Mexicans are Trump's muggles -- that's author J.K. Rowling's word for humans with no knack for magic. Trump, 69, rants about Mexicans and undocumented immigrants all the time. When he announced June 16 he was running for president, he called them criminals, drug dealers and rapists.
Just as Voldemort thought he could get some intrepid students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to follow him even after he schemed against them, Trump believes he can win over the Latino vote, or so he told NBC.
Voldemort was a birther. He used a slur -- mudbloods -- for wizards and witches born to muggles. Likewise, in 2011, Trump demanded that President Obama produce his birth certificate. Quoth the Donald: "Obama may have one, but there is something on that birth certificate -- maybe religion, maybe it says he's a Muslim, I don't know." Trump's speculation came out of thin air, yet almost as quickly as the "accio" summoning spell, Trump's challenge prompted the White House to produce said document.
Minister of Tragic Reince Priebus has tried to keep peace in the Republican land, but Trump knows how to hex party harmony. Priebus called Trump to ask him to tone down his language about Mexicans and immigrants. Trump flourished his wand and turned the party chief's verbal cuffing into "more of a congratulatory call." Priebus lacks the wandwidth to blast Trump with the Expulso Curse.
In his bid to attain immortality, Trump channeled morsels of his damaged soul into random vessels, called horcruxes. Their names are (ex-wife) Ivana, (ex-wife) Marla, (future ex-wife) Melania and his reality show, "The Apprentice." They share an incantation: "You're fired." As added protection, Trump keeps his fifth horcrux close to him. It is his hair, which glides snakelike alongside Trump wherever the reality TV star slithers.
Like Voldemort, Trump has stumbled in his lifetime. When Voldemort tried to kill a baby Harry Potter, it was Voldemort who had to go -- into hiding, anyway. Trump filed for corporate bankruptcy four times -- in 1991, 1992, 2004 and 2009, but never for personal bankruptcy. Like Voldemort's minions, Trump's investors paid for his sins. Now Trump says he is worth $9 billion.
Since Trump declared his candidacy, his critics have been waging a serious assault on Trump's assets and reputation. The loudmouth rants have cost the billionaire beaucoup bucks. NBC announced it was ending its business relationship with "The Apprentice" star. "Celebrity Apprentice" will continue -- without Trump. The Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants won't be on NBC. Macy's and the PGA followed suit. Like Voldemort down to his last horcrux, Trump is losing his amulets.
There will be a gathering on Aug. 4 as Fox News hosts the first GOP debate of the 2016 campaign. According to the debate rules, the top 10 candidates in the five most recent national polls will face off. Friday's RealClearPolitics average showed Trump in seventh place behind former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Think Hogwarts students and professors facing off against Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Except it isn't really a contest. Donald Trump is no match for the rest of the field.
Cable news has worked to make this primary a battle between a boorish billionaire and candidates who have won elections and want to talk about their ideas. Yet all reporters ask is: What about Trump?
This primary doesn't have to be all about The Donald: There is a way to end the spell. Bush said it Thursday when a reporter asked him twice about Trump: "I'm done."
Fixed it.
Complete nonsense ... it’s like listening to Krauthammer rant against Trump ...
Trump is succeeding because he speaks the truth ...
George Will, Fox News all FEAR that ...
And with better hair, LOL! :)
Trump must be right over the target.
That both the DIMS and the GOP-e are wetting themselves over Trump is a good thing.
In his revelations of Uniparty hypocrisy on illegal immigration alone, he has provided a valuable service to thinking voters.
I’m going to show how irresponsible Trump is and how grownup I am by making Harry Potter references.
Uhh....o.k...
IMO, Trump has served an invaluable purpose by finally forcing the issue of illegals and crime to the forefront.
By doing so he has also shined a spotlight on the open borders/amnesty goals of most of the RINO candidates.
If you want to know how much they all fear the public truly understanding their open border goals, just pay attention to the very ugly invective of the Media and the other Pubbies.
Bush shoulda admitted that BushIII is toast.
I’m just worried that he’s Ross Perot. I support his message and acknowledge his sacrifice which is very real and financially significant. I also know his historical positions on other issues. That’s what worries me.
Regardless he deserves my support for the very real battle he is fighting and worse persecution he is being subjected to.
I am a Cruz supporter but applaud the fight this patriot has brought to the forefront of national debate.
Good post.

Truth is so much more refreshing!.
Double-speak is all the Bushes are ever good for—for the “proper perceptions of the ignorant masses”....and I will never listen to another word uttered from that fork-tongued, sodomite-Kissinger-controlled mouth.
Am I mean and hateful? No, the truth is really, really ugly as Machiavelli knew. Study history and know what the Leviathan (Marxist Lucifereans) have set up for YOUR children and YOU when you are a useless eater.
Time is Late.
Note to southern Freepers. It has been noted on another thread that Trump supports lowering the Confederate Battle Flag, and banishing it to museums.
This terrifies me. I can see us all gathering around when he announces some shumck for vp because, like Perot, he doesn't want to share the spotlight.
If he would commit to Cruz for vp early, I'd be all in.
Um,no.
Closest I can figure Trump is Amelia Bones with interesting hair.
The globalists are Death Eaters, the various members of wizarding community who keep disappearing are Americans from the workforce, the muggle born targets of Umbridge are the people being treated as illegitimate by various “shaming” schemes. Dementors? Look no further than the pharmaceutical industry. He who must not be named? Look for some multinational with a fantastic PR budget.
“I’m going to show how irresponsible Trump is and how grownup I am by making Harry Potter references.

LOL
Many people hate the truth and want to keep the current political scam going forward.
